Silvia Resnik is a certified coach with a Master's degree in Business Economics. Her professional journey began as a kindergarten teacher, transitioned into HR Management, and eventually led her to entrepreneurship. On the surface, she had checked all the boxes: a fulfilling career, marriage, a beautiful home, and a well-structured life.​ Yet, despite these accomplishments, Silvia felt an inner void. Years of self-exploration led her to uncover that she is an alone-born twin—a revelation that provided some insight but didn't bring the peace she sought. The turning point came during her encounter with the Maasai people on a journey to Zanzibar. Their heart-centered way of living resonated deeply with her, igniting a profound shift in her life.​ Today, Silvia splits her life between Austria and Tanzania, blending coaching with Maasai-inspired wisdom to guide women who, despite outward success, yearn for inner alignment. Through her unique coaching style, she helps these women rediscover their inner voice and design lives filled with freedom and fulfillment. Committed to giving back, Silvia also supports Maasai women and children in forging paths toward independence through her charitable initiatives.

The scale of agriculture's environmental impact is staggering. According to the EPA, agricultural runoff is the leading cause of degraded water quality in rivers and streams. Today's farming practices lead to 1.70 billion tons of U.S. topsoil annually, and agriculture produces 31% of human greenhouse gas emissions. Tune in to meet Kelsey Timmerman, author of the new book, Regenerating Earth, from Patagonia Books, who faces a heartbreaking reality shared by many rural families: he can't let his children swim in the pond near their Indiana home because of agricultural contamination. Rather than accept environmental degradation as inevitable, Kelsey embarked on a global journey to find farmers and communities who prove there's another way. From standing barefoot in traditional Hawaiian kalo patches to protecting cattle from lions alongside Maasai warriors in Kenya to discovering how chocolate could save Brazilian rainforests, he found regenerative agriculture practices that build soil, sequester carbon, and challenge everything we think we know about farming. Kelsey's story revolves around systems thinking that connects everything from chloroplasts to mycorrhizal fungi with how we eat. He argues that industrial agriculture leads to farmers being farmed by corporations, trapping them in debt to buy chemically treated seeds, fertilizer, herbicides, and fungicides. His journey uncovered regenerative practices rooted in Indigenous and traditional farming practices combined with cutting-edge soil science. Farming can be more profitable for farmers who heal the land. The solutions aren't new. They're already in hand but largely ignored or forgotten because they require attention to nature's complexity rather than simplifying life to fit profit margins. Regenerative thinking starts by approaching problems through the same lens that nature does, by putting everything to use and accounting for all positive and negative impacts while treating nothing as waste to be discarded. For consumers, this means understanding that grocery choices ripple through complex ecological networks, with practical steps starting at farmers markets and supporting farms that regenerate rather than degrade the land which you can find using the Farm Map at https://regenerationinternational.org/.

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on July 11, 2022. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed. In the shadow of Serengeti National Park, some 70,000 people may soon lose the land that is their home. They’re Maasai, an indigenous semi-nomadic people living alongside safari tours and game hunters. The Tanzanian government says an area where they live, Loliondo, is overpopulated and that it is threatening a precious ecosystem famed for its wild animals. It looks like a classic case of human vs animal – but the animals are also attractive to trophy hunters, and for the Maasai, the story goes much deeper.

Silvia Resnik's story is one of quiet longing, deep transformation and radical realignment. As an alone-born twin, she carried a sense of missingness all her life — even while following the “right” path: becoming a kindergarten teacher, earning a Master's in Business Economics, working in HR and building her own consulting business. On the outside, she had it all. On the inside, she felt empty.A spontaneous vacation to Zanzibar became the unexpected turning point. There, Silvia met the Maasai, a semi-nomadic tribe in East Africa known for their deep presence, connection to nature and spiritual strength. Something shifted. She felt seen, alive and whole — perhaps for the first time.She didn't just return home inspired — she changed her life completely. Silvia chose to live between two worlds and has since spent over 1.5 years in Tanzania, mostly on Zanzibar, living among the Maasai and integrating their wisdom into her way of being.Today, Silvia is an ICF-certified coach who guides high-achieving women out of the golden cage of perfection and back into a life of truth, freedom and purpose. She blends modern coaching with the grounded, ancestral wisdom of the Maasai. Silvia also partners directly with Maasai leaders in the movement to end Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), advocating for sustainable change from within. Sylvia splits her time between Austria and Tanzania, and joined us from Tanzania. Since I was in Sri Lanka when I recorded this episode and Silvia was in Tanzania, we had a few recording hiccups, but Silvia's inspiring story shines through!Learn more:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachsilviaresnik/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/silvia.simple.life.journey/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coachsilviaresnikLinktree: https://linktr.ee/resnik.silviaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/Websites: https://silviaresnik.comhttps://www.simple-life-journey.com/en

There were Kohanim Gedolim who lived long lives and were compared to a tree — deeply rooted, consistent, and nourishing. Others served only briefly and were called temporary Kohanim Gedolim, yet their short service burned brightly like a flame. The Rebbe explains that both types played a vital role: one represented steady, lasting growth, while the other embodied powerful, momentary impact.

Episode Description: Awakening the Healer Within – A Conversation with Cheryl Stelte In this extraordinary episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe sits down with visionary healer, author, and spiritual coach Cheryl Stelte for an inspiring journey into the world of holistic healing, self-empowerment, and awakening the healer within. Cheryl's unique blend of experience, wisdom, and authenticity radiates throughout the conversation, offering listeners practical tools, profound stories, and spiritual insights that speak to those seeking transformation, purpose, and a deeper connection to their authentic selves. From Tragedy to Transformation Cheryl opens up about the pivotal spiritual experience that changed her life—the day her deceased brother visited her in a profound moment of love and guidance on a beach in Western Canada. Through an impromptu kinesiology session, Cheryl encountered a “ball of white light” and received a clear message from her brother: to begin meditating as a way to connect with him and herself on a deeper level. This encounter set Cheryl on an unexpected spiritual path—one that would lead to discovering the life-changing power of meditation, breathwork, and inner healing. She candidly shares the struggle of being lost after such an event, navigating a world that thirty years ago was less receptive to meditation and spiritual exploration, and the perseverance that helped her sustain these practices over the decades. Navigating Darkness: Overcoming Depression with Spiritual Practice Delving into her personal journey through depression and moments of despair, Cheryl reveals how her spiritual practices, particularly meditation, became her medicine and lifeline. Through consistent meditation, she began to process years of emotional trauma and unexpressed pain—gradually moving from surviving to thriving, and ultimately exchanging antidepressants for transformative self-care. Cheryl's story underscores the importance of self-compassion, honoring our emotional wounds, and the power of spiritual practice in finding light through the darkest times. Azaria's Energy Healing: An Integration of Traditions Listeners are introduced to Cheryl's signature healing modality, Azaria's Energy Healing—a powerful synthesis of meditation, Sufi breathwork, shamanic practices, Reiki, and acupressure. Cheryl recounts her journey through various healing systems from around the globe, studying with masters and embracing techniques that focus on deep, root-level transformation. A unique aspect of her approach is her commitment to teaching others to heal themselves, fostering lasting empowerment. Cheryl shares stories of working with clients who experienced breakthroughs where “no one else could go as deep,” highlighting the profound nature of her work and her dedication to those truly ready for healing. Heart-Centered Shamanism: Journey Inward Cheryl introduces the concept of heart-centered shamanism—an approach that contrasts traditional shamanic practices. Instead of “leaving the body” for spiritual journeys, Cheryl teaches going inward: connecting with the heart, the soul, and the body's innate intelligence. Citing her experience reading chakras—where she identifies both the superpowers and the wounds within—Cheryl explains the transformative and protective power of remaining grounded in one's own body during healing work. Global Insights: Lessons from the Maasai and Samburu Drawing on her time living with the Maasai and Samburu tribes in Africa, Cheryl shares deeply moving observations about collective and individual experiences of love, survival, and the absence of emotional connection in some communities. She explains how the realization that love—and the ability to both give and receive it—is the foundation for abundance, healing, and true well-being. Cheryl's stories provide a rich, cross-cultural lens through which to understand spiritual connection and the universal longing for love. Becoming a Client Magnet: Energetics of Authenticity What does it mean to become a “client magnet”? Cheryl explains the energetic mechanics behind it: when you release internal blocks and align with your soul's purpose, you naturally radiate the energy that attracts those who are meant to work with you. The episode details practical cues and signs for noticing energetic blockages—like throat chakra issues manifesting as difficulties expressing one's truth, struggling to be heard, or fearing visibility—and how to recognize the genuine call to become a healer. Stuck in the Mind—Finding the Path Forward The conversation takes a beautifully vulnerable turn as Wize shares his own struggles with doubt and launching the podcast, resonating with listeners who've found themselves “stuck” and afraid to step into their unique greatness. Cheryl affirms that such fears often point to our biggest potential, echoing the importance of “getting out of the head and into the body.” The supportive banter between Cheryl and Wize illustrates the healing force of authentic connection and community. Integrating Spirituality and the Practical World Cheryl offers wisdom for those feeling spiritually awakened yet lost in the practical world, identifying key signs such as being ungrounded or experiencing the “dark night of the soul”—a developmental passage characterized by a profound sense of disconnection and surrender. She details how energy healing can help individuals release subconscious blocks rooted in childhood, without reliving trauma, and move into a place of true empowerment. Virtual Healing, Daily Rituals, and Cheryl's Vision Emphasizing the power and efficacy of virtual healing, Cheryl and Wize both reflect on their experiences with digital energy exchange, reinforcing the idea that true spiritual connection transcends physical proximity. Cheryl graciously shares her daily practices—decades of meditation, mindful walks, the Five Tibetan Rites, and yearly personal retreats—and stresses the importance of evolving rituals as one's journey unfolds. Cheryl's ultimate vision with the Star of Divine Light Institute is to help people recognize their authentic power, become empowered beyond belief, and awaken to their true selves as radiant beings of light. Resources, Books, and Continuing the Journey At the end of the episode, Cheryl highlights her three books: Heal Your Neck Issues and Let Your Throat Chakra Shine Client Magnet From Blocked to Powerful She invites listeners for chakra readings and to access free resources on her website: starofdivinelight.com, and encourages connecting with her on Instagram (@stelte.cheryl). Why You Should Listen This episode is a deep dive into the interplay between spirituality and real-world challenges, a blueprint for awakening the latent healer within, and a heartfelt reminder that even in our most “stuck” moments, transformation is possible. Whether you are on your own healing path, aspiring to work as a healer, or simply seeking inspiration to move past doubt and step into your purpose, this conversation promises to spark insight, hope, and renewed motivation. Tune in and join the Stuck In My Mind community for a conversation that might just awaken the healer—and the greatness—already inside you.

If you want to dive deeper, check out Jeremy Bacon's book “Sermon on the Mount: 40 Days of Learning the Ways of the Kingdom” available at RENEW.org. It's a great resource for anyone wanting to grow in understanding and living out Jesus' teachings. You can find it here: renew.org/product/sermon-on-the-mount-40-days-of-learning-the-ways-of-the-kingdom. Until next time, keep living out your faith in real life. Today's episode will help us move beyond seeing the Sermon on the Mount as a set of rules and instead embrace its call to heart transformation and kingdom living. In this episode, Jeremy Bacon shares his journey exploring the Sermon on the Mount. Starting with a funny travel story from Illinois and a vacation to Nova Scotia, he warmly connects with the audience before diving into the topic. Though initially hesitant—thinking the sermon was overdone—Jeremy's deep study, sparked by teaching Maasai pastors in Kenya, transformed his view. He explains that the Sermon on the Mount isn't just a list of rules. Instead, it reveals God's character and calls us to change our hearts to reflect His. For example, Jesus' teaching on anger isn't about hiding frustration but confronting the deeper issue of contempt that harms relationships. Jeremy describes the sermon as a blueprint for kingdom living, showing how God's kingdom intersects with our broken world and invites a supernatural transformation. This process takes time and requires surrender to God's guidance. Practically, Jeremy encourages us to seek God's heart behind each teaching rather than focusing on rigid rules. He stresses the importance of understanding both the big picture and the details to avoid misinterpretation. He also addresses today's cultural tensions, urging leaders to shepherd communities with a kingdom mindset, trusting God despite fears and division. The episode wraps up with a Q&A, where Jeremy offers thoughtful advice on applying the sermon's teachings in real life. Overall, Jeremy's relatable style and insights invite us to move beyond legalism and embrace the transformative power at the heart of Jesus' message.

In this final episode of the Kenya series, host Anna Stoecklein explores what it will take to not just end female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), but to shift the underlying social norms that drive it. The episode examines the complex journey toward cultural transformation, revealing how community dialogue, intergenerational conversations, and collective action are crucial for lasting change.  Through powerful examples—from a young Maasai man who composes songs advocating against FGM/C to a former cutter now spreading awareness within her community—the episode showcases how grassroots movements are creating meaningful progress.  While acknowledging the long road ahead, survivors and experts share signs of progress and compelling reasons to remain hopeful about creating a world where women not only live free from harmful practices, but where they possess full bodily autonomy, equal decision-making power, access to education, and the opportunity to fulfill their extraordinary potential—a transformation that benefits not just women, but entire communities and countries. Content Warning This series includes discussions of FGM/C, including personal accounts of physical and emotional trauma. These stories may be distressing or triggering for some listeners. Please take care while listening. Topics Covered Beyond the cut: Why real progress means tackling inequality, not just ending FGM/C Awareness vs action: Why knowledge alone doesn't change behavior Community-led change: The power of intergenerational dialogue and local leadership Men's role: Speaking up, stepping aside, and supporting women's leadership Global setbacks: How COVID, conflict, and climate change threaten progress Signs of hope: Real-world progress and why communities remain optimistic Some names have been changed to protect the identities of individuals featured in this episode.

Rural communities whose health and livelihoods depend on the environment are more vulnerable to climate change. In recent years, persistent droughts have made Maasai communities in northern Tanzania vulnerable to sleeping sickness, a disease spread by the tsetse fly. Paul Gwakisa of Sokoine University has dedicated his research to helping the Maasai people better understand and prevent outbreaks of sleeping sickness in their communities.
