In this special episode of The Right Intention, its a celebration of the 88th birthday of Wowza, who is a transformative figure in expressive arts therapy and holistic wellness, who has spent over six decades helping people embrace self-expression and healing.Wowza embodies a spirit of agelessness and vitality, which she attributes to connecting with her "larger self" or "the beloved," an inner source of strength that transcends time and societal expectations.Reflecting on her journey, Wowza shares how she transformed a challenging childhood marked by bullying and isolation into a life of beauty and resilience. Embracing her unique path led her to win Miss Florida and become a runner-up in the Miss America pageant. By the time she reached the Miss America stage, she began to feel the limitations of external validation. When she blanked during a final question, she knew her calling was beyond pageants and moved to New York to pursue acting.In New York, Wowza trained at the Actors Studio under Lee Strasberg, who taught her to embrace every role authentically, integrating light and shadow. This foundation inspired her to create expressive arts therapy, a method allowing people to explore their “social roles” as characters, releasing limiting beliefs and accessing their true essence.Today, Wowza remains a beacon of unity, founding the "Church of Wow" to encourage people to see each other as living art. Her mantra, "wow," reflects wonder without judgment. In relationships, she advocates for balancing masculine and feminine energies, empowering individuals to embody their authentic selves for deeper, harmonious connections.One of her signature practices, “curtain up, curtain down,” helps people briefly embody and release emotions, fostering mindful self-awareness. In her book, The Sacred Actor: Igniting the Performance Art of Living, she invites readers to view life as a divine play, where each role brings meaning within a larger, universal flow. Her "great hum" practice—a simple daily humming—connects people to the vibration of life, grounding them in unity and love.As Todd and Wowza close, they reflect on love as a universal, transformative force. Wowza encourages listeners to embrace every part of themselves, live authentically, and connect with others from the heart. Her journey and wisdom remind us that by living from this larger self, we find freedom and harmony.Connect with Todd Tononi:Follow Todd on Instagram: @ToddTononiSubscribe to The Right Intentions for more thought-provoking conversations and insights into leadership, personal growth, and living with purpose.Connect with Wowza: https://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Actor-Igniting-Performance-Living/dp/B0D2P73WJ8 Hosted on Acast.

Through trial and error, she eventually found her passion for fitness and bodybuilding, transforming her physique and mindset. This journey inspired her to become a health coach to help other women achieve their fitness goals. Angela explains why maintaining and building healthy muscle tissue is crucial for women, especially as they go through hormonal changes in midlife and menopause. Muscle helps regulate metabolism, balance hormones, strengthen bones, and improve cognitive function. She emphasizes that the goal is not to "bulk up" but to develop a strong, lean physique. Angela recommends that women aim for 30 grams of protein per meal, and around 1 gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight per day. She discusses the differences between plant-based and animal-based proteins and suggests using protein shakes as a convenient way to meet protein needs, especially for vegetarians/vegans. Angela advises a combination of strength training and high-intensity interval training, even if just for 20-30 minutes a day. She emphasizes the importance of proper form and gradually increasing the intensity and weight. She also stresses the value of consistency and seeking support when needed.

Imagine a world where difference is not only accepted, but celebrated. Today, I had the opportunity to sit down with Rachel Barcellona, an incredible woman who was diagnosed with autism at the age of three. We explored the unique challenges and triumphs of her journey, from a non-speaking child to a student at Juilliard, discussing how early detection and understanding can change lives.In our conversation, we delve into the realm of rebellion in children with autism, viewing it not as a sign of disobedience but as a cry for understanding. I shared my personal experiences of self-discovery, including the liberation of being authentically myself and the lessons I'm teaching my daughter about growing older. As we navigate the complex intersections of identity and society, we stress the importance of empathy, acceptance, and realizing that the autism spectrum is not limited by gender or sexuality.And if you thought pageantry was all about glitz and glam, Rachel gives us a glimpse into how it's much more than that. She started at five, and since then, it has served as a platform for her to advocate for change. Not only that, but she has also collaborated on a clothing line, penned an upcoming book, and been part of some exciting projects, all of which serve as an inspiration for many. We end on a positive note, highlighting how social media and technology have been instrumental in her journey, enabling her to connect with people around the globe and amplify her message. For a heartwarming tale of strength, perseverance, and individuality, this is one conversation you wouldn't want to miss.Support the show

Lindsay Bettis is Miss Florida 2022 and she's bringing her style, grace, and beauty to Rudy's Living The Red Life studio. Her victory story and perceived ‘overnight success' is one of struggle. She competed in beauty pageants for many, many years until she finally won Miss Florida - with a torn hamstring! She's openly sharing about her family's struggle with addiction, her own struggles being OCD, and the triumph of turning insecurity and a desire to be loved and recognized into a superpower by getting up on stage, championing important social causes (like addiction treatment), and remaining steadfast in her determination to be authentic. Rudy expertly engages Lindsay on her recipe for success, the importance of influence as we try to create impact, and the wins we create from our failure. Please join us.

Day 8On March 5th, 1984, a twenty-three-year-old Orange Bowl Princess named Elizabeth “Beth” Kenyon left the parking lot of the Coral Gables High School where she worked as a special needs teacher. Beth had also been a finalist in the Miss Florida contest in 1982. She thought the pageants were a lot of fun, but her heart was with the kids she taught. She waved goodbye to the security guard on duty, and it is presumed she was headed to the gym. However, she would never make it to the gym, nor would she make it home to her apartment on Ives Dairy Road. The police did list Beth as a missing person but assured the Kenyons their daughter was fine, claiming that young women her age went away for a few days without telling their parents all the time. Beth's parents knew that their daughter was not that irresponsible. Convinced that something was wrong and unhappy with the apathetic attitude of the police, the Kenyons hired private investigators, a father-son duo named Ken Whittaker Senior and Junior. Ken Senior was an ex-FBI Chief and amazingly thorough. No clue was too small for him. Hiring them would be the most important step in this case.Join Jen and Cam on the 5th Annual Our True Crime Podcast's 12 Nightmares Before Christmas Day 8: The Snapshot Killer: Christopher WilderListener Discretion by @octoberpodVHS All music is courtesy of our Executive Producer @wetalkofdreams Researched and written by JenCopy Editor Lauretta AllenSources:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43410008-the-snapshot-killer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmBXz0Emm38https://www.aetv.com/real-crime/beauty-queen-killer-christopher-wilder-florida-playboyhttps://www.amazon.com/Christopher-Wilder-Historical-Killers-Murderers-ebook/dp/B01EZ3Z87W/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=christopher+wilder&qid=1638501577&s=books&sr=1-3https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiJovpsOP1ohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQDW9pr_KzA&t=1287shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiHK-G1QsHshttps://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1301&dat=19870426&id=QHZWAAAAIBAJ&pg=5084,7474822&hl=enhttps://www.upi.com/Archives/1984/08/15/Tina-Marie-Risico-the-teenager-who-accompanied-serial-killer/5727461390400/https://web.archive.org/web/20120421001039/http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/serial_killers/predators/wilder/index.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20120227031048/http://www.lawandordnance.com/Mystery-And-A-Spree-Killer.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20120220033821/http://www.chronicle-express.com/news/police_and_fire/x342383242/-Nothing-ever-happens-herehttps://web.archive.org/web/20160403145301/http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/beauty-queen-killer-takes-bloody-ride-1984-article-1.2366878http://dingeengoete.blogspot.com/2012/04/christopher-wilder-beauty-queen-killer.htmlhttps://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1817&dat=19840425&id=cDodAAAAIBAJ&pg=6904,7213272https://web.archive.org/web/20131212203006/http://www.thefreelibrary.com/A+TEEN%27S+TERRIFYING+DAYS+WITH+A+KILLER+IN+1984,+AN+L.A.-AREA+GIRL...-a0179511757https://healthpsychologyconsultancy.wordpress.com/2012/08/12/making-of-a-monster-christopher-wilder-the-beauty-queen-killer/https://www.dailybreeze.com/2021/07/19/south-bay-history-christopher-wilders-savage-crime-rampage-included-a-stop-off-in-the-south-bay/https://charleyproject.org/case/elizabeth-ann-kenyonhttps://buffalonews.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/1983-slaying-of-young-woman-may-have-been-work-of-serial-killer/article_8f92c889-687e-50fc-84fc-53cb210b162f.htmlhttps://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/mass-murderer-wilder-commits-suicide#:~:text=Christopher%20Wilder%20dies%20after%20a,state%20troopers%20to%20avoid%20capture.
