Podcast appearances and mentions of Louise Hay

The Beyond Earth Show with Ray Trujillo Planetary Alignment, Sacred Self-Love, and the Cosmic Call to Rebalance Your Life A Celestial Opening Beneath God's Vast Cathedral In this episode of The Beyond Earth Show, host Ray Trujillo opens the June 13, 2026 transmission by welcoming listeners into a reflection on planetary alignment, the upcoming super new moon in Gemini, and the energetic strands moving through personal and collective life. He frames the episode around soul family, soul contracts, animals, nature, guardian angels, cosmic frequency, and the love of God within a universe that may appear random but is spiritually interwoven. Ray's tone is devotional, metaphysical, and introspective, inviting listeners to look both upward toward the celestial field and inward toward the sacred movements within themselves. When Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury Light Up the Inner Sky Ray focuses on the visible planetary alignment involving Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury, also referring to a broader planetary parade that some describe as including additional planets. He shares that he recently photographed the alignment and found it astonishing that such a beautiful celestial arrangement could be seen with the naked eye and captured with an ordinary camera. Rather than treating the alignment only as an astronomical event, he asks what it may mean for people's daily lives, including their careers, relationships, health, money, emotional states, and inner sense of direction. Breakthroughs at the Crossroads of Career, Health, and Love Ray explains that he has been witnessing a collective pattern of breakthroughs among people he has helped, especially after periods of anxiety, waiting, uncertainty, or personal crossroads. He connects the alignment to clarity in finances, career, relationships, partnerships, and health concerns. In his view, many people are reaching the “home stretch” of situations that have been unclear or unresolved. The planetary conjunction becomes a symbolic and energetic marker of revelation, helping people see where they truly stand and where movement may finally be possible. Science, Spirit, and the Ancient Habit of Looking Up Ray then reflects on the long human tradition of looking to the heavens for guidance, referencing ancient sages, astronomy, and the story of the wise men looking toward the star connected with Jesus. He says that everything above exists under God's celestial creation, while human beings interpret the stars through belief, personal truth, science, metaphysics, and spirituality. For Ray, these fields do not need to oppose one another. Instead, the sky becomes a place where science, spiritual symbolism, and God's creation converge into one vast, meaningful canopy. The Human Body as Its Own Sacred Alignment Ray draws a parallel between planetary alignment and the alignments within human beings. He speaks of chakras, anatomy, blood, the brain's hemispheres, emotional balance, intellectual life, spiritual devotion, and the internal rotations that shape each person's experience. He asks listeners to consider where they are suffering, what is causing that suffering, what would bring them the most joy, and how they might go about “the Father's business.” In this section, the celestial alignment becomes a mirror for personal realignment, encouraging listeners to ask whether their inner world is balanced, prayerful, and connected to higher will. Venus, Sacred Love, and the Mirror of Self-Worth The episode moves deeply into the meaning of Venus, which Ray associates with love, beauty, relationship, harmony, and the goddess-like image of Aphrodite. He reflects on love as a supernatural power that carries sacredness, innocence, and purity, while also acknowledging that love can have shadow aspects when it becomes excessive, blind, unhealthy, or undisciplined. Ray then turns the conversation toward self-love, asking whether listeners can look in the mirror and sincerely say, “I love you.” He connects this to mirror work, self-worth, the teachings of Louise Hay, and the importance of reconditioning the inner dialogue. Prayer, Water, and the Energetic Imprint of Words Ray discusses the emotional and vibrational power of words, thoughts, and intention. He references Dr. Masaru Emoto's work with water as an example of how emotion and vibration may leave an imprint. Ray says that speaking love, prayer, beautiful music, and sincere affirmation can shape the energy within and around us. He compares mirror work to prayer, explaining that both require focus, sincerity, clarity, and intentionality. Whether a person is praying to God, guardian angels, saints, the Holy Spirit, or focusing through meditation, Ray emphasizes that real transformation requires conscious presence rather than empty repetition. Jupiter's Generosity and the Spiritual Economy of Giving Ray then turns to Jupiter, describing it as expansive, benevolent, prosperous, and connected to karmic patterns. He links Jupiter's influence with generosity, prosperity, love, fortune, career, relationships, and health. A major part of the episode centers on the principle that what people give is what they receive. Ray uses simple examples of neighbors exchanging apples, lemons, oranges, nectarines, strawberries, and almonds to illustrate energetic reciprocity. He emphasizes that giving does not have to mean money; it can include prayers, hope, compliments, compassion, encouragement, and sincere wishes for another person's good. Mercury, Communication, and the Cosmic Window Into the Heart With Mercury, Ray focuses on communication, decision-making, clarity, intellectual processing, and the ability to speak with oneself, God, the universe, and the cosmic kingdom. He says this alignment offers a “cosmic window” into the heart, intellect, and interior life. Through that window, people can ask whether their energy is balanced, where they are giving too much, where they are being drained, and how they can recharge themselves. The Mercury influence becomes a call to communicate wisely, inwardly and outwardly, with honesty, discernment, and spiritual awareness. Gemini's Super New Moon and the Discipline of the Pause Ray prepares listeners for the upcoming super new moon in Gemini, warning that it may bring emotional explosiveness, sudden honesty, impulsivity, or communication shakeups. He does not present this as fear-based, but as a time for temperance, patience, and self-control. He advises listeners to think before speaking, especially if they feel the urge to be brutally honest or direct. Boundaries are important, but Ray cautions that harshness can create regret and require repair later. If something is not urgent, he says, it can wait, because patience is a virtue and not every emotional impulse needs immediate expression. Cord-Cutting, Boundaries, and the Courage to Release What Drains You Ray also speaks to listeners who may be feeling emotionally exhausted, empathically overloaded, or weighed down by the frequency of recent events. He encourages rest, self-care, and time out, especially for caregivers, caretakers, and people whose work or life has become draining. He says this may be an especially meaningful time to examine energetic cords, negative attachments, one-sided relationships, vampiric drains, and situations that no longer contribute to peace, health, or harmony. His advice is to review what serves, what does not serve, what is reciprocal, what is harmful, and whether a person, place, object, or decision truly aligns with one's future. Gratitude as the Light That Magnetizes More Light Near the end, Ray emphasizes gratitude as a life-giving, life-affirming force. He encourages listeners to be grateful not only for blessings, but even for some painful experiences that taught them, strengthened them, or revealed survival. He explains that gratitude opens fields in the brain, heart, body, and spirit, creating a “magic essence” that attracts more auspicious events. By contrast, self-defeating thoughts, regret, anger, and limiting beliefs can magnetize more darkness. Ray compares this to choosing which mirror to look into: the mirror of gratitude, light, and possibility, or the mirror of complaint, despair, and limitation. Becoming the Miracle You Are Waiting For Ray closes by reminding listeners that they deserve to receive, deserve answered prayers, and are themselves part of the miracle they seek. He encourages them to use the alignments and energetics of the celestial field under God's kingdom for their own highest good and for the good of everyone around them. His final message is one of self-affirmation, faith, gratitude, light, and service. He thanks the audience for joining him, blesses them, and says he will return in two weeks.

What if the guilt, the overwhelm, and the feeling that you're never quite enough aren't personal failings — but a system you were never meant to question? This week, I'm joined by life coach, author, and mom of four Amber Pecoraro, whose story I think so many of you are going to immediately recognize yourselves in. Amber is the founder of B'joyed Coaching and the author of Escape the Motherhood Matrix — a guide for high-achieving women to identify the invisible conditioning keeping them stuck and start dismantling it for good. She's a former civilian leader in the US Air Force Government Acquisition, a certified life and leadership coach, and someone who, on paper, had it all together — and privately, was crumbling. In this episode, we get into the origin of Amber's rock bottom moment (including a 36-week pregnancy, a child with a bone infection, and a delivery room she was left in alone), the physical symptoms that finally forced her to stop pushing through, and the coaching and neuroscience-based practices that changed everything for her. We also dig into the four P's of reprogramming from her book, why guilt isn't a moral failing but a nervous system response, and what it actually looks like to escape a matrix you didn't even know you were in. In This Episode, We Cover What the Motherhood Matrix actually is — and why "on paper, everything looks great" is often the biggest red flag Amber's origin story: a pandemic pregnancy, a child's emergency surgery, an allergic reaction that took over her face for eight months, and the moment her body finally said no more The belief that had been quietly running Amber's life since childhood — and how she finally saw it for what it was Why guilt isn't a character flaw — it's your nervous system trying to keep you safe (and why that makes it so hard to logic your way out of it) The difference between knowing what you need and actually integrating it — and why self-awareness alone isn't enough The four P's of reprogramming from Escape the Motherhood Matrix: Prime, Prune, Pause, Possibility Why fawning — over-caretaking everyone but yourself — is a fight-or-flight response, not a personality trait My own experience with postpartum depression after my third child, and how "create or die" became the beginning of Medium Lady What it means to "come home to yourself" — and why that's not about becoming someone new The Medium Lady Capsule What Amber is reading: You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay — a book she returns to regularly with clients, and one she calls an enduring invitation to possibility. What she's listening to: A podcast on book publishing — specifically resources connected to Chandler Bolt's Self-Publishing School, which she used to bring Escape the Motherhood Matrix into the world. What's embodying this season: Board games with her kids, ages 6 to 13. Less fighting, more laughing. A season of actually being present together — and finding she's starting to enjoy it. Who she's learning from: Tony Robbins — particularly after her husband enrolled in one of his programs. She's a student of many modalities and encourages listeners to find what actually works for them.

In this episode of Fit, Fun, and Frazzled, Nikki Lanigan opens up about something she's kept private for two years — her battle with chronic migraines. In honor of June being Migraine and Headache Awareness Month, she shares the full picture: the triggers, the treatments, the nervous system connection, and the emotional weight that comes with an invisible illness. Nikki covers the metaphysical side (think Louise Hay and Nicole Sachs' journal speak method), what her neurologist has her on, the supplements that actually help, and what daily life really looks like when your brain feels like it's on fire. This one is raw, real, and for anyone who's ever been told to "just drink some water."

In this episode of Health Confidential, host Simone Gisondi explores the powerful connection between emotional healing, spiritual awakening, nervous system regulation, and physical recovery through the extraordinary healing journey of Malka Shivdasani. This conversation dives into holistic healing, mind-body medicine, trauma release, meditation, and the emotional roots of chronic illness and cancer.After years of living as a people-pleasing wife, mother, and business owner, Malka experienced a major spiritual awakening following her son's devastating spinal cord injury in 2006. Searching for healing beyond conventional medicine, she immersed herself in meditation, emotional healing, subconscious reprogramming, and the teachings of renowned spiritual teachers including Joe Dispenza, Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, and Bruce Lipton. Years later, in 2024, Malka was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer, including lymph node involvement and a rectal tumor. Rather than pursuing chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, she chose a deeply integrative path focused on meditation, hypnotherapy, trauma healing, emotional release, energetic healing, nervous system healing, and holistic medical support. Through deep inner transformation and unwavering trust in the body's innate intelligence, Malka eventually received scans showing no visible cancer.Together, Simone and Malka discuss colon cancer healing, emotional trauma, spiritual healing, self-love, subconscious beliefs, and how chronic stress and self-abandonment can impact long-term health. This episode is a powerful exploration of holistic cancer recovery, personal transformation, and reclaiming the body's ability to heal.KEY TAKEAWAYS• Chronic people-pleasing and self-abandonment can contribute to emotional and physical imbalance.• Trauma and unresolved emotions may remain stored in the nervous system and body.• Meditation, subconscious healing, and spiritual practices can support emotional transformation.• Healing often requires addressing emotional, energetic, mental, and physical health together.• Listening to intuition and inner alignment can play a powerful role in personal healing journeys.BEST MOMENTS• “There's this wisdom, and it's so beautiful inside that what we carry, the power that we carry.”• “Of course nothing worked, and then we started going inward, of course the way out is in.”• “So, as we were healing, we were healing the community.”• “It was feeding the fear and doing it anyway, because I knew I did not want to do chemo.”• “These thoughts are just coming in to be released.

What does it mean to truly live with intention? In this deeply moving episode of The Motivatarian Exchange, I sit down with Diana von Welanetz Wentworth—New York Times bestselling author, speaker, life coach, media personality, former celebrity chef, and co-founder of The Inside Edge, a transformational community that hosted voices like Louise Hay, Ram Dass, Jack Canfield, and Mark Victor Hansen. At 85 years old, Diana radiates wisdom, presence, creativity, and joy in a way that feels both grounding and expansive. She describes herself as someone who is not winding down, but "composing the most luminous chapter of all." And after this conversation… I believe you'll feel that too. Together, we talk about: ✨ Why listening may be one of the greatest forms of love ✨ Meditation, attention, and learning to quiet the noise ✨ Grief, resilience, and walking back into the light after loss ✨ Creativity, curiosity, and expecting magic always ✨ How to live a meaningful life at every age ✨ Trusting your inner voice and absorbing the beauty around you Diana also shares her newest endeavor, Your Life as a Work of Art, a beautiful Substack series exploring how we compose our days, curate meaning, and leave something lasting behind. This conversation is gentle, profound, and deeply nourishing for the soul. If you've been craving wisdom, peace, encouragement, or simply a reminder to slow down and truly live—this episode is for you.

Join us as we chat about the remarkable skill of reframing in this podcast episode. Angela and Geneva share how they use reframing to improve their outlook and mental health. Listen here! We also use reframing in Reiki sessions. It is a key skill for intention setting, the very first step of our Reiki practice. The universal life force energy of Reiki is aligned with the most loving and positive frequency you can imagine. When we set that positive intention, everything flows with ease, and reframing is a big part of that. Resources Mentioned in this Episode   The Work by Byron Katie This is a classic reframing tool that can help you gently explore your thoughts, The Work by Byron Katie. In just four introspective questions and the key turnarounds, you get an opportunity to dismantle thoughts that might be harmful and explore other ways of viewing a situation.  Cognitive Behavioural Therapy This therapy method helps you understand some thinking errors that might be creating more stress in your life. After exploring where your mindset might be stuck, you and your cognitive behavioural therapist gently look at the kind intent below the thought and work towards a truer, positive thought. Reiki Sessions! Yes! We are partial to Reiki sessions here as a support for reframing. But on a larger level, we actively use intentions as the focus for each Session. In doing this, we chat about where you are and then flip that inside out to get to your intention. The results are quite amazing. The combination of that intention, how you want to feel, and Reiki are profound and can give you a focus for your self-care work in between sessions. Book a session in our Jane app. Louise Hay We adore the work of Louise Hay. Her pioneering book "You Can Heal Your Life" is pretty much a master class in reframing. She explores the mind-body connection and has a handy list of affirmations to support not only your outlook but also your wellbeing on many levels. Your Best Friend! Never underestimate the power of friends to help you see another perspective on a situation. Because they love you and know a bit of your history, they can see things from a different way. This loving perspective is invaluable for your overall well-being. You can playfully examine what they say and see if it works for you. Much like borrowing their jean jacket, you can 'try on' their idea and see if it fits. It's okay if it doesn't. But in that gentle exploration of their ideas, it may encourage you to see things from a new angle and even come up with something altogether new! Further Reading on Reframing as a Superpower Here are a few titles that might spark something for you. The Gift by Dr. Edith Eger Dr. Eger is an absolutely amazing human. A psychologist and a holocaust survivor, she has hard-won experience of the protective benefits of a positive outlook. Her book 'The Gift" is genuinely touching in how this kind woman has created a framework for freeing your mind. Often positive psychology can be dismissed in importance because the proponents 'haven't really struggled'. But in this case, Dr. Eger shows examples from her life and her work with others, how seeing things from the positive can completely shift the direction of a person's life, even in the harshest and cruellest of situations. It is awe-inspiring, and a light approach to reframing that is maybe the best book you can read. The Mindful Body by Ellen Langer This book is absolutely packed with studies on how the mind-body influences health. Not only is it the result of nearly 50 years of research by Dr. Langer, but she also gives you plenty of ideas on how you can loosen up your thinking. The power of going from mindless to mindful is shown over and over again in this illuminating book, The Mindful Body. Meditations to help get into a Reframing mindset: Try these meditations to help activate your energy and soften into a place where reframing is much easier.

SYNOPSIS:This episode explores the idea that creativity is fundamentally embodied rather than purely mental. Gary describes the body as an “interface” or instrument through which creative energy flows, emphasizing that without the body, expression itself wouldn't be possible. Creativity is framed as a collaborative process – between body, mind, and a larger “divine” or universal intelligence – rather than something generated solely by individual effort. Gary and host, Ali Mezey, challenge the common mind-body split and reframe the body as an active participant in creative expression, not just a vessel.A central theme is the role of somatic practices (movement, breathwork, dance) in unlocking creativity. Gary shares his personal journey from disconnection and shame around the body to rediscovering it as a source of intelligence and creative flow. Through somatic work, he was able to release stored tension, trauma, and self-judgment, which had previously blocked his creative expression. The conversation highlights how presence in the body – rather than over-identification with thoughts or past experiences – can open access to what is often described as “the zone” or a flow state.The discussion also touches on identity, trauma, and how experiences are “held” in the body. While both Ali and Gary acknowledge that emotions and trauma can manifest physically, they question simplistic or overly rigid interpretations of this idea. They emphasize the importance of approaching the body with curiosity and presence rather than trying to “fix” it. The body is seen as intelligent and self-organizing, capable of healing when given the right conditions, though not everything can or needs to be resolved.Finally, the conversation addresses the practical side of creativity – discipline, skill, and sharing work with others. While creativity may flow naturally, bringing it into the world often requires structure, support, and persistence. Gary reframes discipline as something that can be supported through somatic awareness and addressing internal resistance (like the inner critic). Ultimately, creativity is portrayed as both a deeply personal and relational process – one that involves not only expression but also connection, refinement, and, for many, the courage to be seen. MORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  www.alimezey.comBody Mapping Video LibraryPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:www.alimezey.com/personal-geometry-foundationsTransgenerational Healing Films: www.constellationarts.comConstellation Work is a highly effective method to delve into healing transgenerational trauma, unburdening consequent generations from the influences of traumas which can be transmitted epigenetically.MORE GARY GOTTSELIG:GARY BIO: Gary Gottselig is a Creative Ignition Coach, author of #1 Amazon Best-selling poetry book, A Legacy of Rainbows and creator of Unleashed Somatic Dance.He works with writers, poets, and creatives who know they have a book inside them but keep getting stuck.

This episode started with a dinner at my mom's house and a sentence I never expected to hear: "Oh yeah — I know Louise." I'd been talking about Louise Hay's inner child healing meditation, assuming my mom had never heard of her. What I didn't know was that back in 2009, when my dad left my mom after 34 years of marriage, a friend recommended she call a woman named Louise for support. That woman was Louise Hay — founder of Hay House, one of the biggest self-help publishers in the world. They started as client and coach. They became friends. And eventually, my mom paid for my dad to have his own sessions with Louise — sessions that helped him understand his pattern of sabotage and where it was rooted. I found Louise Hay independently in 2011. I'd been hiding it from my mom because I thought she'd think it was too "out there" for her Christian faith. Turns out she already knew her personally. That's not a coincidence. That's a thread. And this episode is about learning to see those threads for what they are — divine alignment, working quietly in the background, waiting for you to be ready to receive it. "My mom didn't find Louise in the good times. She found her because of the storm. The storm wasn't the punishment — the storm was the door." THE 4R FRAMEWORK Restriction Staying steady when nothing seems to be happening externally. The lighthouse season. Your restriction is never wasted. Rootedness Doing the inner work, holding the feminine, not chasing. God doesn't align you when you're running — He aligns you when you're rooted. Receiving Divine alignment sends you the right people, teachers, and mirrors — right on time. When the student is ready, the teacher appears. Ripple What you heal doesn't just change you — it changes everyone in your orbit. Your community is downstream of who you're becoming. THE LIGHTHOUSE AND THE SHIP The masculine is the ship — it goes out to sea, it pursues, it captures. The feminine is the lighthouse — she stays stationed, she holds the light, she makes it safe to return. A lighthouse that chases the ship is no longer a lighthouse. My grandparents just celebrated their 78th anniversary. My grandpa turns 100 in just days. That kind of staying power requires both people to know their role. My dad was the visionary — the ship. My mom was the structure — the lighthouse. When he sailed away and never came back, I believe something in him couldn't survive that separation from his purpose. The ship that stops returning to harbour eventually gets lost at sea. I'm still sitting with that realization. I share it not as a universal rule, but as something I've been quietly unwrapping — and as a reminder that God's alignment is never random. QUESTIONS TO SIT WITH What if the storm you're in right now isn't breaking you — what if it's the door? Are you trying to be the ship AND the lighthouse at the same time? What would it look like to stop chasing and start shining instead? Where has God already sent you the right person — and did you recognize it? Is your brand being built from the ship or the lighthouse right now? JOIN US THIS MONTH I Made It May A 30-day sales challenge with my mentor Bridget. 17 women in — goal is 100. $33 to join.

In this deeply intimate and thought-provoking episode, Ali sits down with somatic sex educator and healer Ariel Szabo to explore the intersection of sexuality, power, trauma, and transformation.The conversation opens with a bold question: Why has human society been shaped by domination – and what does that have to do with our relationship to sexuality? From there, Ariel and Ali unpack how systems of control – historically rooted in conquest and oppression – extend into our bodies, our relationships, and especially our sexual lives.Ariel shares her personal journey through early sexual trauma, sex work, and being trafficked, revealing how shame and vulnerability can be weaponized to maintain control. Yet, rather than remaining trapped in that paradigm, she describes a path of reclamation – one grounded in embodiment, agency, and the rediscovery of sexual energy as life force.Together, they explore how shame functions both as a necessary human signal and a powerful tool of suppression, particularly around sexuality. They discuss how many people dissociate into “performative” sexuality – shaped by media and conditioning – leaving them disconnected, unsatisfied, and emotionally unfulfilled.A central theme emerges: pleasure as a gateway to connection. When experienced consciously and embodied, pleasure becomes a pathway to self-awareness, intimacy, and even spiritual awakening. When disconnected, it becomes escapism – mirroring addictive patterns rather than nourishing the soul.Ariel also introduces practical insights into working with sexual energy, including how to build capacity for sensation, move energy through the body, and shift from fear or overwhelm into grounded presence.The episode culminates in a powerful reflection on healing and purpose. Ariel recounts her transition out of exploitation, a life-altering health crisis that catalyzed her spiritual awakening, and her eventual integration of sexuality, psychedelics, and embodiment into her current work.Ultimately, this conversation is both a personal testimony and a cultural critique – arguing that sexual healing is not just individual, but collective. A more embodied, liberated relationship to sexuality, they suggest, could fundamentally reshape how we relate to power, connection, and each other.To be an angel to the podcast, click hereTo read more about the podcast, click hereMORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  www.alimezey.comBody Mapping Video LibraryPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:www.alimezey.com/personal-geometry-foundationsTransgenerational Healing Films: www.constellationarts.comConstellation Work is a highly effective method to delve into healing transgenerational trauma, unburdening consequent generations from the influences of traumas which can be transmitted epigenetically.MORE ARIEL SZABO:Website: SacredMoonflowerAuthor, Substack: TheEroticFrontierWomen's Retreat in Peru - April, 2026Ariel's beautiful article on Sex MagicARIEL'S BIO:Ariel Szabo is a writer, somatic sex educator, sexological bodyworker, and psychedelic medicine practitioner based in Los Angeles.

In this short, sharp episode from Women's Wealth Week, Coco Dee  tackles the “I'm too old” story and why it makes us give up just as life is calling us forward. She shares powerful perspective-shifters like Anna Rose's podcast interview with her 70-year-old mother, a single mum of five who survived domestic violence, kept going, and now owns her home and reminds us that success often comes later than we think (like Louise Hay becoming known at 68). Coco unpacks how we unconsciously seek evidence to validate victimhood, why chasing external validation keeps you stuck, and why problems don't disappear with bigger income highlighting a founder with a $100M business still doing basic tasks herself and losing $50K without stopping. She closes by challenging vague “how” questions, urging better questions, intuition, and pointing listeners to episode 83, “The How.”00:00 Welcome and Setup01:11 Too Old Mindset02:42 Stop Feeding Stories04:09 Mom Guilt and Support04:50 No One Owes You06:08 100M Founder Reality09:38 Go All In Intuition10:33 Step Up Alternative11:30 Ask Better Questions14:38 Abrupt Cut and Wrap If you're after some more goodiesI have a FREE 5-Day Mindset Reset for you called  Wealthy Women WinYou can also follow me on Instagram

SYNOPSIS:In this guided body scan, listeners are invited to shift their awareness from the busy cognitive mind into the full, three-dimensional experience of the body-mind. Beginning in the head and slowly moving downward, the meditation uses the imagery of a glowing sphere of consciousness traveling through the throat, heart, solar plexus, belly, and pelvic floor. As attention illuminates each area, participants are encouraged to notice sensations, emotions, breath, and subtle impulses without judgment, allowing awareness itself to soften tension and deepen embodiment. The practice concludes by resting awareness at the base of the body and reflecting on how the experience has shifted one's sense of awareness, presence, connection, inner calm - and love.MORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  https://www.alimezey.comInstagram:  ali_body_brilliancePersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:https://www.alimezey.com/personal-geometry-foundationsTransgenerational Healing Films: https://constellationarts.com/If you have any questions, email Ali at: ali@alimezey.com

In today's episode, I'm talking about how talking kindly to your body can benefit your life. About halfway through this last year, I came across Heal Your Body by Louise Hay. It led me to her book You Can Heal Your Life, and while some of it may sound a little “woo,” something about it landed!Now, I'm not saying affirmations *magically* fix everything. However, I've noticed a difference in MY everyday life since I've been using them!'Of course, nothing is perfect. I still get sick, and I still have hard days. But I'm no longer comfortably numb. Acknowledging anger, sadness, and fear has changed the environment inside my body. It has created space for me to THRIVE, and I'm truly grateful for that!If you've been feeling called to go deeper into your own inner work and healing, I'd love to support you.

Anastasia Canonica was born in post-Soviet Russia in 1991, the year the USSR collapsed and the monetary system reset overnight, erasing everyone's savings. She was placed in an orphanage at age 4 after her parents turned to alcohol amid the poverty crisis, spending ages 4-16 in Orphanage Number 5 in Novokuznetsk, Siberia. After her father's death when she was 11, she became consumed with anger and resentment, developing a physical growth on her body. At 13, she experienced a miracle healing through Louise Hay's book "Heal Your Body," learning to release resentment and forgive. After a two-year adoption process, Anastasia came to America at 16, right as the 2008 financial crisis hit. Ana shares her awakening journey and Bitcoin adoption, seeing it as a source of hope that the parallel centralized dystopian world doesn't have to be the only option.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Don’t forget to like and subscribe for more amazing content. Today Gissele: we’re talking about coming back together after estrangement, and I have my good friend, Iona Sky, who is a globally recognized social worker, consultant, and educator whose work is rooted in compassion and systemic change. For over two decades, they’ve helped organizations transform policies and cultures through equity, inclusion and accessibility strategies. Gissele: Iona inspires leaders and students alike to see compassion, not just as a value, but as a powerful tool for justice. Please join me in welcoming my good friend. Hi Iona. Iona: Hi Gissele. Thank you for having me here. Gissele: Oh, you to be a part Iona: of this. Gissele: Thank you for being on the show and I’m so grateful to be able to chat with you. Gissele: I mean, you and I have worked together for many years in the field of child welfare and [00:01:00] we did as we were talking off camera, we did some transformative work around the voices of children and the voices of families and how to work in more empathetic and compassionate ways. You were talking a little bit in your story about estrangement that happened between yourself and your parents, ’cause you’re part of the LBTQ community . Gissele: I was wondering if you could share a little bit about Helped you make the decision to come back together Iona: Mm-hmm. Thank you for that question. When people see me and my my mother now, my dad passed nine years ago you know, I think they would, they would be very surprised to hear perhaps that, we did not have any contact for seven years and that that was purely based on, who I am as a person, my sexual orientation, and what my parents’ journey in understanding and what their story was. Iona: So seven [00:02:00] years of no contact and I got married, my partner had a son, all of these things. And it was actually at my brother’s engagement party. When I was invited, I went by myself and I saw my parents and from across the room after seven years and I looked at them and I, wow. Iona: And I. I remember looking at them and seeing how they had aged in seven years. And in my heart, I was sad that I didn’t get to be a part of that experience. And I thought to myself, I miss them and I don’t wanna continue in this way. And so I went and gave them a hug and said Hi. And then I went and sat with my sister, and, we didn’t really talk, I don’t [00:03:00] think much that day. Iona: And then it was a series of really slow steps my brother’s wedding. Slowly starting to communicate via email. And then because my parents they weren’t living in Canada at that time for for periods of time. And so I decided to go and see them and spend some time back home after I separated from my ex-wife because I needed to go back home and just get rooted again. Iona: Mm. And, and I remember being very nervous. ’cause I’m like, whew, okay, how’s this gonna go? Right? Yeah. ’cause not only have I not seen them, you know, I haven’t been home for a long time. And I saw them at the airport and it was like old times. you know, my family, Iona: We don’t talk about emotions, [00:04:00] we don’t talk about this kind of stuff, right? Mm-hmm. And, but we show, so for me it’s been learning especially with my son, talk about emotions, those kinds of things. We show us reactions, right? And so, you know, through cooking, through care, through those kinds of things. Iona: And so that’s how I knew we were slowly rebuilding that relationship. And it takes time, right? And it also takes navigation of of your own boundaries also. And what’s healthy and what’s not, right? How much time, how much space will help you maintain that healthiness, you know? Iona: Mm-hmm. Because I had to have boundaries as well with how much time do I go and spend, because in the beginning it was just me. And so I had to still, you know, dichotomize my life and not talk about my life. And it was only, in the past few years you know where my mom has gotten to know my [00:05:00] partner, my son, where I can live my full life with my family. Iona: I can say this, that Iona: the one thing we cannot stop in our life is time. We can’t stop time, we can’t get it back, you know, and if I would have time with my father on this earth, I would’ve perhaps had some more conversations with him. But it’s okay, because I have it with him on the other side. Gissele: Hmm. Iona: And that’s, sometimes no matter what you believe in, however, what, whoever, whatever, if you believe in anything, trying to find your peace, right. Iona: Your peace through a compassionate way. And, it’s an ongoing journey, so, right. Like, I’m not arrived, you know, I would love to see I’ve arrived but it continues to be small steps. Right. Gissele: Yeah. Thank you for sharing that. So in order for you to get to the point where you could invite even just the [00:06:00] reconciliation, was there a level of forgiveness that needed to happen for yourself and for your parents? Iona: Mm-hmm. I think for both. You know, I think for both. Because once again, we both have our stories, right? Mm-hmm. And I’m sure that my parents were hurt profoundly, and that’s their journey. I don’t own their hurt, right? Iona: Mm-hmm. Yeah. ’cause that’s their journey of their lost hopes, their lost dreams, their whatever it is, right? And for me, I’ve reframed it. I tried to reframe it for them. It’s not lost, it’s just different. Just looks different. Just looks different than what you imagine. I live a full life with a loving partner, a beautiful son, a beautiful home with my two dogs. Iona: when you think about those things, right, like what parents dream about a success, right? To have a good family, a good life. I have those things. Iona: I just wanna say that forgiveness is an ongoing journey [00:07:00] because also. what I’ve realized about my brain is that my brain has been traumatized by significant events in my life, right? And the disowning was a significant event in my life. And so there are things that I don’t remember or that come to me as I get older. Iona: And so in the sense that forgiveness is an ongoing journey, and I’m sure that it is from my parents as well. Gissele: Hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. in order for you to be able to have some sort of reconciliation, you had to deal with your internalized homophobia. Gissele: Can you talk a little bit about that and that journey? Iona: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Absolutely. So my parents are from India. I identified as a outgoing, I’m from Gowa. Iona: I give that context, right, because India was colonized. I grew up, in a family but strong Catholic [00:08:00] faith. I grew up not seeing any images. Iona: Or any representation of L-G-B-T-Q identities. Mm-hmm. we didn’t really talk about, you know, being gay, being queer, being lesbian, and the only times that we did it was in a way that was derogatory and, if there were people who we thought might be part of the community, it was always like people spoke negatively about them. Iona: Right. Yeah. and also back home, it’s illegal. And so mm-hmm. To me, you know, like it’s against the law. And so I grew up with a strong sense that it’s not okay to be gay, and also there’s no, no words in our language, in Conquer for the word gay, lesbian, like, you know? Gissele: Hmm. Iona: And so I had no exposure and so, it’s that whole, cliche, I always knew I was different kind of thing. Yeah. But not recognizing, what that might be. And so when I came to Canada and started in [00:09:00] university to be exposed to different communities and identities and, you know, it can be such a formative time for folks and for me it was also being exposed to different people and that I had never been exposed to and starting to understand myself in different ways. Iona: And I had huge internalized struggles learning that growing up, thinking, oh my God, being gay was bad. To now going, oh my God, I think I’m gay. And then going, oh my God, what is that going to mean? Like, am I gonna lose people? Like, am I gonna be in trouble? what’s wrong with me? Iona: And I also saw people in the queer community and university, but they were all white. Mm-hmm. so as I was working through my internalized homophobia, you know, I tried to find space in the queer community, which was predominantly white. Iona: So then I [00:10:00] had to experience racism. Gissele: Yeah. Iona: And it was that living in liminal spaces, right. Not really belonging in either space and so I had really had to process through, you know, and for me, I’m the kind of person who I have to feed my brain before I feed my heart Gissele: Mm-hmm. Iona: And so for, for me, it helped me to learn about, the history of sexual orientations and gender identity in my culture’s pre colonization. And how we were welcomed, you know, we’ve existed from time immemorial. Gissele: Mm-hmm. Iona: And it’s only colonization that’s come and hap and said, okay, no, it has to be male and female, this and that and that, and all of that. Iona: Right. And so it was the finding some roots. Mm-hmm. Finding community, but you know, you take the best. With All right. Yeah, Gissele: yeah, yeah. Iona: [00:11:00] And but have I arrived, Gissele, once again, it’s my own ideal. I, I question my own internalized racism, homophobia internalized ableism every day, right? Iona: It’s an ongoing process. Gissele: It’s interesting how in, in colonization, all the fundamental things that make us caring human beings sort of got eliminated. living in communities generosity, equality, empathy you know, and compassion acceptance, inclusion, all of those things. Gissele: Sort of like, it’s almost like we divorced from ourselves, right? We became so separate from who we really are in ourselvesthat led to the propagation of colonization, which is. Really, really interesting. And I think now we’re in the process as humanity to come back to ourselves and to each other. Gissele: Because when I think about, we don’t live in community anymore. our communities are like our nuclear family, if you may. But when you think about caregiving, in [00:12:00] the olden times when we lived in sort of like villages, there was the grandparents and the kids and the grandparents usually took care of the kids, which makes them younger. Gissele: And then the older people would do lots of different things. And so, and we sort of lost that connection. We’ve sort of created all this space between us Iona: Yeah. Gissele: our communities were so small, I don’t think that, that kinda separation would’ve been possible. Iona: Exactly. Exactly. And that is just it Gissele, we have become so separate because that is part of colonization with. Tied to capitalism, right. And it is about, mm-hmm. Yeah. Iona: it’s about creating classes of income. It’s about who can achieve I grew up in a collectivist culture, you know, my humanity is tied in yours to self, you know, and that is what drives everything that I do. And I will offer a reframe that it was olden times in here, but in other parts in the world, it still exists. Iona: Right? And so how do we bring [00:13:00] this community of compassionate care together in a new way, right? Because you’re right, like. I just returned from Nunavut, you know, and from Ranking Inlet and Cambridge Bay. And, you know, you can see the sense of community there, the sense of caring there, the sense of connection. Iona: And then it is, it is rooted in their values. it is not only. Because of who they are, but it was the necessity. Yeah. Necessity that they had to care, led to be together. Right. Because of the land. Mm-hmm. And the landscape. And, and so what I would love to see is for Iona: for us to find that urgency of necessity to be together and to care, care for one another. Gissele: Mm-hmm. ‘ Iona: cause until we find that necessity where your humanity is tied up [00:14:00] into mine, we’ll just continue on with this dominance. Right. Iona: With the same, the same tyranny of time that I talked about a little bit earlier on in a different meeting. Gissele: Yeah. Iona: Which pulls that compassion away from us. Gissele: Mm-hmm. Yeah, and we can’t be in survival mode and be in compassion. We can’t be in fear being in love. It makes it really, really difficult. And so, you know, I always think of the colonizer. Gissele: I’m like, what must their life have been like that they needed that, that they felt like they didn’t have enough? So it’s always more and more and more and more like, having to fill that empty hole, right? With more money, with more things and more materials and more land. it just, it’s never enough. Gissele: But I find when you’re trying to fill it with stuff that doesn’t fit there, it’s just, it’s a pit, it’s a never ending filling. Iona: Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. I know. I’ve often wondered that too, right? I would love to go back in time and listen to their stories. Gissele: Right. And try to understand. Gissele: Yeah. And you [00:15:00] mentioned listening to stories, and I think for me, curiosity is the stepping stone to compassion, right? I’m trying to understand your story and so the more I listen to you, the more I understand. and, you know, I’m a big lover of Louise Hay, which is like, everybody’s doing the best they can with the understanding, knowledge and awareness that they have at the time they have. Gissele: Yeah. Right. For some people, their story makes sense to them, even if it’s just a justification, right? Iona: Yeah, absolutely. And, you know, what you have just said on is the essence of where I am at this point in my life, I truly believe that people do the best that they can at the point in their life with the resources that they have, just as my parents did, you know, just as I did. Iona: Just as I do. Yeah. As I say to my son, I’m an imperfect person, you know, and please have patience with me as I have patience with you. Right. Gissele: Yeah. and it’s amazing Like, I wasn’t taught that parents could be [00:16:00] questioned. Right? And so for me to be able to be honest with my children and say, I’m not always gonna get it right. Gissele: I don’t always know what I’m doing. Please forgive me. I’m sorry that I hurt you. It’s such a like, departure from my parents, right? Because there’s a lot of denial and there’s a lot of oh, this isn’t true, it hasn’t happened. And so to be able to actually do that for our children I can’t remember where I heard it, but this is sort of like these generations are the ones that are re-parenting themselves and at the same time trying to parent the next generation. Gissele: And that’s how I feel. I relate to that to have to address all my fears, my limitations, my thinking, my trauma, my biases, so that it stops with me and it doesn’t get transferred to my children and their children’s children and so on. And so. The willingness to be able to do that even so it’s difficult, it’s necessary. Iona: Yeah, absolutely. That I felt that in my heart, Gissele because Gissele: mm-hmm. Iona: Yeah. I really feel like I’m trying to reparent [00:17:00] myself and do things differently so that certain things end with me and don’t get passed to my boy. You know? I want lots of good things to get passed to my boy. Gissele: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Iona: But not the difficult trauma, the impacts of those, Things. And also the intergenerational stuff. Right. And that’s the compassion I think we can have for our ancestors as well. Because, I stand before you and sit before you as a representation of those who came before me, just as you do with you. Iona: Right. And so how can we carry on that? That torch and those values that, you know, that we’re sharing today and moving it forward. Because I think, you know, I think the world needs a little bit more compassion and love and light and Gissele: empathy. Iona: Empathy. Gissele: Yeah, definitely. I was thinking about, as you were talking about how I’ve had to really shift my perspective on my [00:18:00] ancestors. Gissele: I was very mad at my ancestors. ’cause there was a lot of trauma passed down. There was a lot of like neglect, there was a lot of abuse, there was a lot of poverty. There was so many different things. And so I think when I was younger there was an aspect of me of like, why couldn’t you get their, your HIT together? Gissele: Yeah. So that my parents weren’t so traumatized when they raised me. Now I have a different perspective it’s interesting once I sat down with my dad and he was telling me the history of all the things that they went through and they managed to survive. They managed to survive the war. Gissele: They managed to survive poverty. They managed to survive deep, deep trauma. And so it gave me a new perspective around how can I have appreciation for their strengths? How can I acknowledge the strength they gave me? How can I acknowledge the resiliency they gave me? How can I acknowledge all of the history in a way that comes from a place of gratitude rather than from a place of judgment? Iona: Yeah. Gissele: Yeah. And so, and I, and as I go through my own journey of healing my own trauma and doing all of that, I see how difficult. It is, I [00:19:00] see how, how dynamic it can be and feel and how much courage it, it even took I mean, when you’re in the middle of the war, you’re not thinking, I really gotta deal with my trauma. Gissele: You’re just, you’re just coping. You gotta live right. I you gotta live. so I’m so proud of my ancestors for having survived so much and for everything that got me here. Right? Yeah. But I, I didn’t always feel that way. Iona: Yeah. and that’s humble of you to say Gissele, right? Iona: and I think that that’s part of also our development and our growth is people, right? Is how do we come to understand it. Because yeah, like there were times I was angry too and you know, I come to see that they. They have all done their own healing work in their own ways. Right. Iona: Whatever that is, which has cumulatively helped me reach this point where I can sit in this room in Canada, have this conversation with you. Yeah. It was unimaginable to me as [00:20:00] a child in Bahrain. So, you know, I thank you for this opportunity. So, yeah. Iona: You know Gissele: for sure. And I’m, I’m so grateful that you were here. Gissele: I wanted to go back to you had said that, you had to go through your own process of dealing with your internalized homophobia. What things really helped you to be able to do that for yourself? Iona: Well, the first thing is finding a community was huge. So finding resources, finding support, because once again, there’s nothing like being with people who are, in the same situation, you know? And finding somebody to help you process things through. Iona: So of whether it’s a counselor, whether it’s your I mom, or whether it’s your, whoever it is, you know somebody who is knowledgeable in dealing and helping people to process through, their [00:21:00] internalized homophobia. I’ve had people who did it well and people who did not. Mm-hmm. So I’ve learned from both. Iona: And also now we are in the time and the space, Gissele, we have so much access to information. Right. Like, I was out in the nineties, like in the nineties, we didn’t have Google, we didn’t have podcasts, we didn’t have, or Gissele: TikTok Yeah. Iona: Or TikTok or those things connects millions and millions of Gissele: people. Iona: Yeah. Or those kinds of things. Right. So there are lots of resources out there. Find ones though that feed your soul. And now, there is also representation from folks in the L-G-B-T-Q-Q community from different identities, you know, who are racialized, who are, when you think about intersectionality of, of identities. Iona: And I think that that is, was also a really huge thing for me, which I did not. Experiences people with a good understanding of intersectionality and how all the different parts of [00:22:00] me impact my experience of homophobia and internalized homophobia. And so, you know, finding resources that speak to you as a person. Gissele: Can you just tell my audience what intersectionality is for some of them that we’re not gonna know what that means? Iona: Yeah. Great. So intersectionality is a term that was coined by Dr. Kimberly Crenshaw, and it is used to describe how intersecting forms of oppression impact on people. Iona: So when I say intersecting forms of oppression, so if you look at me, I experience on an average day, when I go out in the world, I can experience racism because of the color of my skin. I can experience homophobia because of my sexual orientation. I can experience transphobia because of how I dress and present in the world and my gender identity. Iona: I can also experience ableism because I live [00:23:00] with different forms of invisible disabilities. So when you take all of those things together. They, they don’t work in silos because I say when I enter the room, I’m not just Brown Iona or, you know queer Iona. I’m Iona in all of the pieces that I am. So intersectionality is how all of those forms of isms work together and impact on people. Iona: And so when I think about, supports for people who, might be coming out, might be experiencing their own internalized homophobia the first thing I want to say to you, to the people who are out there who might be listening is that you are beautiful and perfect just the way you are. Gissele: Yes. Iona: And that you know, you belong in this world, in society exactly how you are and [00:24:00] that you are worthy of love, of safety, of joy, and to live a life where you not just survive, but where you thrive. And there’s a resurgence of a lot of homophobia, a lot of transphobia. Iona: I was just saying to my partner the other day, you know, I can’t believe I’m still fighting over the same fight and protests like 25 years later about people who are protesting the existence of our lives. You know? And so so to be mindful of what you also expose yourself to with social media mm-hmm. Iona: Because it does impact on your brain and your wellbeing. And to find your places and your pockets of safety and hope find your communities because they’re out there. Gissele: Hmm. Oh, thank you. That was wonderful. You know, it’s interesting [00:25:00] that. The world is so vast and people’s perspectives are so different, right? Gissele: That there’s still people who think it’s a choice. And I remember our mutual friend that, you know, he would tell me like, why would I choose this? Why would I choose to not belong? it would be just so easy for me to make this choice versus this other choice. And so it’s not anything that I would be choosing because I don’t wanna choose to be different. Gissele: Everybody wants to belong, right? That’s just our RN innate nature . But you know, from my perspective, God source universe never makes a mistake. And so we are all perfect, we’re all beautiful. We may make choices that are maybe not so loving sometimes, but we always have the ability to come back to our true selves, which is from my perspective, our original most compassionate selves. Gissele: But yeah, it’s interesting. and I don’t know if I’ve shared this with you, I’ve heard the best reasoning behind. Homophobia and all, actually all isms. Iona: Oh, okay. Tell me, tell me. Gissele: So it’s from have you heard of the comedian? Iona: Oh yeah. [00:26:00] Gissele: Yes. they then had said in an interview and I loved it. Gissele: they were talking about the acceptance of trans people. And they mentioned the fact that the reason why some people struggle with that is because they, them are being the most authentically themselves. Gissele: And in a world where we don’t like authenticity, where we’re so terrified of it, when we’re not allowed to be our authentic self, Iona: it’s Gissele: threatening. It’s threatening to see people being authentically themselves. ’cause then do we have them to be authentic ourselves and it shines a light on us when we are not being authentically ourselves. Gissele: It took a while for me to figure out where I was being authentic and where I wasn’t Like how many things did I think I had to have, like the marriage and the specific job and the specific income and the specific car and the type of house and all of that stuff. Gissele: How much was it something that I was conditioned to accept as something I should want versus how much is [00:27:00] it that my soul really wants? the worst part is I wasn’t aware that that. There was a different me, a little me that was screaming to come out and say, you know, those things don’t really resonate with us. Gissele: I wanna do this, I wanna do that. I wanna play, I wanna be joyful. I don’t wanna care about how much money I make. I don’t wanna care about the things that people told me that I should care about. Iona: Yeah. Gissele: And so that is sort of the journey and coming home to ourselves and doing things that s authentically align with your higher self, your joyful self. Gissele: Right. I never thought I’d be doing a podcast. this brings me extraordinary joy. This is me, this is who I am. You know, and all the things that I’m doing right now are things that bring me incredible joy. I don’t know if it’s on the recording, but you were talking about how you never thought you were gonna stay in child welfare two years and then I’m out. Yeah. For me it was the reverse. I had wanted to work in child welfare since I was 15. I appreciate that. Iona: Yeah. Gissele: I thought I was gonna live and die in child welfare. Gissele: I [00:28:00] thought if this is my dream, this is me rescuing myself and my mother, and my family, my ancestors, you know, I’m gonna revolutionize child welfare and then it’s all gonna be good. And then to think that I’m doing something totally different. It was not in my bingo card. Gissele: Yeah. Right. But that’s when you start to connect with more of your authentic self and say, okay, who am I really? And what do I really love? What do I really want to do? And in a world where you are punished for not conforming, it feels very difficult. Mm-hmm. And it, and I don’t think it’s purposeful, but as I’m co-writing a, a book with my daughter I did my first book re-Imagining Work. Gissele: Yeah. And now we are doing re-imagining education. We don’t realize how in the education system system we are reinforcing consciously or subconsciously the belief that difference is bad because there has to be one right answer. Mm-hmm. There’s only one way to do things. And so diversity is not welcome. Iona: That’s Iona: in Iona: systems. Gissele: Yeah. Right? Yeah. Yeah. But it [00:29:00] starts when they’re very little. Yeah. Iona: Yeah, yeah, Gissele: yeah. Iona: Oh, absolutely. Gissele: And so how do we educate our children to be open to diversity and to differences and to sit in the gray and to be more critical thinkers? Gissele: I wanted to, to ask you a question about your work, because this is something that I’ve observed and so I wanted you to comment on it. Gissele: there’s many organizations that wanna do the DEI work that wanna bring, you know, the representation, inclusivity, but they don’t do the work to cultivate the ground. And so when they bring in the people, you’re setting them up to fail. Yep. Can you talk a little bit about that and how do we help these organizations Gissele: Establish the ground? Iona: Yep. Great question because I have worked with many folks who want to do the right thing, increase diversity, increase representation, all of those good things, right? But it has to be done in a thoughtful way, in a thoughtful and strategic way because I always say that it’s very easy to hire to get diversity, but it’s the retention. It’s [00:30:00] whether people stay. And so this is where it requires leadership to create the climate where people can join and where people feel a sense of belonging, contribution, and inclusion. So not just, we have a racialized person. Iona: Oh, we have a whatever person, right? How do they feel? A sense of belonging? How do they feel that, their voice is being heard? So what leaders can do is create the groundwork right from the beginning, right on. And the fact that this is work that the organization is going to be doing to hire folks from different communities, different identities. Iona: Talk about why that’s important. Tie it in to your organizational goals and outcomes and and prepare your organization and staff in the sense of not making it about the [00:31:00] person, oh, Iona is coming, but about the organization and the growth and the direction we want to go in. Gissele: Mm-hmm. Iona: Because I have been in organizations where people have hired me and that’s great. They want me, but then. When I get in there, I’m like, okay, so you want me, but you don’t necessarily want my ideas. And like, like what work has been done here to get ready to create spaces and places where people can have different conversations, are open to, various perspectives. Iona: Right. Yeah. And you said something really important around children and education And where, where do these conversations start? They start at the kitchen table. They start when you tuck your kid in at bedtime. And if they don’t start there, then they start at university. Iona: They start When I’m sitting with somebody who is 70 years old and we’re having a conversation, it can start. You know? Mm-hmm. That’s the beauty of humanity and of growth. [00:32:00] We can grow and learn anytime. but if you’re looking at it for, from an organizational perspective, there are certain tangible things that leaders can do to get spaces ready. Iona: So that people can not only exist and join your organization, but they can thrive there. Because when you look at your data and if you see people coming in and leaving shortly after that tells me that y’all have work to do in creating places that demonstrate true inclusion. Gissele: Yeah. I love that. I appreciate that. Yeah. I wanted to go back to your journey of reconciliation after estrangement and talk a little bit, about your partner’s journey it must have been really challenging and, and so I’m just, I’m curious you must have had to kind of balance the relationship with your partner and also the relationship with your parents in a way that led to the reconciliation. Gissele: how [00:33:00] difficult was it to manage and were there things you found that helped? Iona: What helped the most, I think is that my partner is the pillar of patience. Gissele: Hmm. Iona: Because that could have broken our relationship. Quite honestly. Yeah. And, you know, I appreciated that she allowed me to walk that journey in the way that I needed to walk it with her by my side when I needed her to be and alone when I needed to do it alone. Iona: Was it easy? No. Was it painful? Yeah. Did we cry? Yeah. Were there times where, you know, we had to have serious conversations about, my relationship with you is, is primary and they are my parents. and she never made me choose, and I always appreciated that. Iona: And she never made me feel guilty for any choices that I made, But it, did it come at a cost? I’m sure it has. Well, I know it has profoundly impacted [00:34:00] her and that’s her journey. And I I can’t speak to that, but for me, you know it was, it was definitely something we had to navigate for many years. Iona: And you know, and it was hard. It was hard for me. It was hard for all of us, but I think it was hard for me because, you know, I mean, and you know, my partner, she’s amazing and and I feel sad that, you know, my dad gets to know her from the other side, but didn’t get to know her in this, in this dimension. Iona: Yeah. and I like your perspective in terms of the being able to still connect. ’cause even if you don’t believe that there is more to this life than this, write a letter to someone and Gissele: burn it, it’s just a way to get your voice out, right? Iona: two more questions. Gissele: The first one is, I’m asking everyone this season what their definition of self-love is. Iona: Oh, that’s a profound question that gave me chills. I think it’s so profound for me at this point in time because I’m still figuring that out. What does that mean for [00:35:00] myself? Iona: You know? Because I’ve lived with so many voices in my head telling me things about my worthiness or unworthiness or whatever, right? That have impacted how I see myself and my ability to love myself. And so now I’m actively working on, who do I allow in my space, in my body? Iona: Who do I allow to occupy space in my brain, you know? And being very conscious also of how do I feel on a very IM visceral, so really paying attention. So for me, because I’ve spent from the age of six to now, like being like disconnected from disjointed from my body due to traumatic events, now my self love is how to bring myself back together in a new way. Iona: And thinking about also, you know, who do I expose myself to? What do I expose myself to because that [00:36:00] releases different chemicals in my body and I want to release chemicals of joy. And positivity and not to be naive, because there’s pain and heartache in the world. Yeah, I know that. Iona: But I think for me, my self-love is how to, experience those moments honor them and walk through them and continue to find joy and beauty every day. Really. Every day, even in the smallest things. Even if it is justlaying on the ground with my penny, who’s my puppy, and just staring at her eyes for 10 minutes. Iona: Mm. You know, we do that sometimes, you know? Yes. And that’s what my self-love is, it is finding my way to, to myself and. I think my biggest thing, Gissele, is learning how to talk to myself, like somebody who I [00:37:00] love. Because I think this is the first time in my life as an adult that I’m learning how to do that Iona: that’s what my self-love is. Gissele: it’s been interesting for me in my journey learning to understand that my body is not my enemy. Gissele: your body is what? That my body is not my enemy. Yes. Yeah. That my body is not separate from me. It’s actually my house. right. So, so feeling like it’s not separate from me that it can’t, it, it can’t hurt me. It’s actually my very best friend and it’s my home for this lifetime. Gissele: Right? last question is where can people find you? Where can people work with you? What’s your website? What do you wanna share with the audience ? Iona: Awesome. People can find me. Check out my website at iskyconsulting.com. You can email me. I sky@iskyconsulting.com. I’m on LinkedIn. Iona: drop me a line. You know, I always say that I work, who is anybody who really [00:38:00] wants. to do this work in a meaningful way and make real change and take the principles of equity, diversity, inclusion, accessibility, and put it into action. And I’m also a social worker, right? And I love supporting folks with their clinical work and social work skills and leadership. Iona: Because to me, this work is about how do we show up every day, whether we’re a leader, whether we’re a fundraiser, whether we are a parent, whether whoever we are, right? You know, Gissele you came into my life like a gift when we worked together. Oh. And I’m grateful for you and for this opportunity because I count you as one of the people who have impacted me and continue to. Iona: And so thank you for having me on your show. Gissele: Oh, thank you. Thank you Iona for coming to the show. I feel the same way. You’re such a gift to me in the times when we worked together were just some of the best [00:39:00] times I’ve had, honestly . And thank you to everyone who joined us for another episode of Love and Compassion, which Gissele and we will see you soon.

The conversation also covered how external factors like substances and media can affect one's energy and intuition. Dallisa explained that people typically seek her guidance for clarity in life, self-worth issues, and the development of their intuition. They concluded by discussing the current global dismantling phase, the need for conscious rebuilding, and the importance of maintaining a high vibration through self-love and forgiveness.To learn more about Dallisa Hocking, visit her WEBSITE.To learn more about Victoria Johnson and Heal Your Life Training, visit our WEBSITE.

SYNOPSIS:In this live Q&A episode of The Brilliant Body Podcast, host Ali Mezey is joined by fan-favorite guest and Longevity Zoologist, Dr. Zoolittle (“Penny”) for a wide-ranging, eye-opening conversation on how we can radically improve the health, happiness, and lifespan of our animal companions.Together, Ali and Penny explore what it truly means to be intelligent caretakers of animals – moving beyond conventional pet care toward a rewilded, biologically informed approach rooted in functional and regenerative medicine. Penny explains why pets used to live much longer, how modern lifestyles disrupt animal biology, and what we can learn from wild animals about instinct, self-medication, nutrition, movement, and rest.The discussion dives into practical and often surprising topics, including animal instinct versus learned behavior, why dogs don't naturally overeat, how feeding patterns affect hormones and longevity, the profound impact of spaying and neutering on animal health, and the importance of species-appropriate diets. Penny also answers audience questions on indoor cats, fasting, raw versus cooked food, enrichment, and how to bring nature back into our pets' lives – even within modern homes.This episode challenges deeply ingrained assumptions about pet care and offers compassionate, science-based insights that empower animal guardians to support their companions in thriving – not just surviving – well into old age. A must-listen for anyone who loves animals and wants to honor the intelligence of their bodies as much as our own.FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeALI BIO: Ali Mezey is a Body Therapist, Family Constellation Work Facilitator, Sexologist and Media Maker with over 40 years of experience.

Are you chasing every gold star, climbing every ladder, and nailing every "right" mark—only to find yourself missing out on real fulfillment and meaningful connection? The relentless pursuit of achievement can sometimes leave us feeling lonely, disconnected from ourselves, and trapped in relationships that don't truly nourish our hearts. When ambition runs amok, the cost may be far greater than just burnout or missed vacation days—it can lead to self-abandonment and relationships that feel more like a cage than a home. In this episode, you'll discover how overachievement and perfectionism can sabotage our capacity for genuine connection—and what it takes to turn things around. Through honest storytelling and practical insight, the conversation explores the hidden costs of self-abandonment and the steps toward reclaiming self-worth, authenticity, and aligned love. Whether you're feeling the grind of burnout or yearning for more realness in your relationships, you'll gain tools for slowing down, getting honest with yourself, and opening up to relationships that feel like home. Coach Keren Eldad is an Executive Coach, Speaker, podcast host and the Author of the new book: GILDED - Breaking Free from the Cage of Ambition, Perfectionism and the Relentless Pursuit of More.   Episode Highlights 06:18 The roots of self-abandonment: Overachievement and relationship choices. 09:12 Societal pressure and the pursuit of external validation in partner selection. 10:27 Personal story: From self-betrayal to reconstructing identity and worth. 16:07 Building healthy love: The learning curve toward self-connection in relationships. 20:39 Embracing uncertainty: Letting go of control and playing to win in relationships. 26:56 Yellow flags in relationships: Burnout, overfunctioning, and sexless marriages. 31:29 Radical honesty and initiating difficult conversations. 35:51 Centering yourself before addressing relationship issues. 39:54 Tools, coaching, and the path to authentic relationships.   Your Check List of Actions to Take Pause and self-reflect: Practice taking a mindful pause before reacting in relationships to better understand your true feelings and needs. Identify your patterns: Bring awareness to tendencies like overachieving or people-pleasing that may be impacting your connections. Prioritize self-worth: Work on recognizing and affirming your own worth, rather than relying on external validation or achievement. Start small conversations: When something feels off in your relationship, gently broach the subject with curiosity rather than jumping into confrontation. Read for growth: Incorporate reading transformational books by thought leaders to cultivate self-awareness. Seek support: Consider working with a coach or therapist to dig deeper into your personal growth and relationship patterns. Practice radical honesty: Begin being radically honest with yourself about what you want and how you feel, as self-abandonment only perpetuates dissatisfaction. Accept uncertainty: Learn to embrace the unknown in relationships, allowing space for vulnerability and authentic connection rather than controlling outcomes.   Mentioned Gilded: Breaking Free from the Cage of Ambition, Perfectionism, and the Relentless Pursuit of More (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Mating in Captivity: Unlocking Erotic Intelligence (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self *Amazon link (book) Dare to Lead (*Amazon link) (book) Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough (*Amazon link) (book) The Work of Byron Katie (website) Brene Brown (website) Eckhart Tolle (website) Ram Dass (website) Louise Hay (website) ERP 494: Designing Love That Lasts: 6 Principles for Lasting Connection — An Interview with Dr. Sara Nasserzadeh ERP 174: How to Experience More Love in Your Relationship with Byron Katie 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide)   Connect with Keren Elded Websites: KerenEldad.com Facebook: facebook.com/LiveWithEnthusiasm?_rdc=1&_rdr# YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCgGViwGVn_yrHkq3PQ9R_-Q Instagram: instagram.com/coachkeren/?hl=en LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/keren-eldad Podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coached-with-coach-keren/id1467079024  

In this rich and wide-ranging conversation, Ali sits down with yoga teacher, author, and anatomy educator Rachel Scott to explore what it truly means to live as a body – not just to have one.Beginning with a candid inquiry into modern yoga culture, Rachel gently peels back the layers of Western commodification to reveal yoga's deeper purpose: presence, self-regulation, and intimacy with the living intelligence beneath our habits and conditioning. From there, the dialogue opens into a profound exploration of embodiment as a spiritual practice – one that includes sensation, relationship, desire, stillness, and paradox.Drawing on decades of practice, Rachel shares how yoga, anatomy study, and contemplative stillness have shaped her understanding of consciousness, love, and human connection. Together, Ali and Rachel reflect on mindfulness versus “body-fulness,” nervous-system awareness in dating and relationships, and the wisdom of listening to the body's cues around safety, timing, and consent.The conversation also moves tenderly into themes rarely spoken aloud: fertility, choice, grief, freedom, and the many ways maternal love can be expressed beyond childbirth. Rachel speaks openly about her journey through wanting children, confronting ambivalence, and ultimately trusting the larger intelligence of life – an experience that reshaped her relationships, her work, and her sense of self.Weaving together yoga philosophy, Tantra, anatomy lab awe, and everyday relational practice, this episode is an invitation to slow down, feel more, and honor the mystery of being embodied. A heartfelt exploration of love, presence, and the courage it takes to listen deeply to the body's quiet truths.FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeALI BIO: Ali Mezey is a Body Therapist, Family Constellation Work Facilitator, Sexologist and Media Maker with over 40 years of experience.

It is the unconscious awareness without visual input and is sometimes referred to as the sixth sense.There are three primary types of proprioceptors: muscle spindles, Golgi tendon organs (GTOs), and joint receptors. Each distinct type provides different information that together shape the sensory profile of the body's positioning and motion.Interoception: Interoception is awareness of your body's internal senses or signals. It identifies how you feel. You can consciously or unconsciously respond to these signals. For example, if your stomach rumbles, you know you're hungry.YOGA DEFINITIONS:Shiva: He is the Supreme Being in Shaivism, one of the major traditions within Hinduism. Shiva. God of Destruction.

Louise Hay reminds us that any “fixed income” or financial limitation is not fixed by life — it's fixed by our beliefs. She teaches that money, work, debt, and even clutter are reflections of our mindset. Through affirmations, conscious choice, and symbolic practices like clearing closets, we can release poverty thinking, embrace abundance, and create prosperity in our careers and lives.GET MY TOP 28 BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS: Click here to get your free copy of “28 Books That Will Rewire Your Mindset for Success and Self-Mastery” curated by yours truly!Source: Louise Hay speaking about "Prosperity” Hosted by Sean CroxtonFollow me on InstagramSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if the exhaustion, digestive upset, or unexplained pain you've been told is “all in your head” is actually your soul asking for a different medicine? If you've ever been dismissed by conventional care or felt a persistent nudge toward something more, this episode is for you.In today's episode, Ashley sits down with intuitive healer and founder of Color My Spirit Wellness, Sarah Granahan, who opens up about the mysterious health collapse that pushed her to look beyond standard medicine and into energy healing. Sarah walks us through how a chance discovery of Louise Hay's work and a deep dive into Healing Touch rewired her relationship to her body and launched a life in service — from learning to read chakras to offering distance healings that tune into a client's energetic field.We delve deeper into how Sarah approaches her work, exploring the significance of intention and energetic “baseline” scans, her use of felt chakra circles, pendulum checks, and Andara energy in sessions, and why she believes our surroundings and cultural blind spots shape the world we create for ourselves. Sarah also makes a powerful case that society needs to relearn how to look up at the stars and reclaim ancient ways of sensing the unseen as a collective survival skill.Tune in to episode 279 of Uncover Your Magic for a practical, compassionate guide to distance healing, chakra work, and how to begin translating intuitive hits into real-life shifts.Episode Takeaways:08:17 Sarah describes the health collapse that started everything and pushed her to research alternatives.16:38 Louise Hay's influence on Sarah's life and her first experiments in self-healing18:50 From Healing Touch training to opening the Color My Spirit Wellness center28:50 Awakening, intuition, and “seeing” energy in sessions35:00 How a distance healing actually works42:40 Tools in session: chakras, pendulum checks, Andaras, and heart activation54:10 Healing is like peeling an onion: past lives, inner child, and layered work1:01:50 Sarah outlines the typical first appointment (messages and energy scan)Connect with Sarah Granahan:Color My Spirit WellnessLinkedInInstagramLet's Connect!WebsiteFacebookInstagram Hosted on Acast.
