Have you ever felt like something unseen is guiding you… even when life doesn't make sense? In this episode, I'm joined by internationally renowned psychic medium, teacher, and New York Times bestselling author Laura Lynne Jackson for a heartfelt conversation about intuition, trust, and living what she calls an illuminated life. We talk about the signs we receive from our Team of Light, the inner knowing we often doubt, and what happens when we finally surrender control and allow life to unfold with more grace. Laura shares insights from her latest book, Guided: The Secret Path to an Illuminated Life, and we explore how guidance shows up through love, loss, healing, and even the moments that feel confusing or painful. This conversation touches on consciousness beyond the physical body, grief and continuing bonds, emotional release, forgiveness, boundaries, and divine timing—without trying to explain it all away. It's not about bypassing the hard parts of life but learning how to walk through the darkness with more trust, awareness, and compassion. If you've been questioning your path, feeling disconnected from loved ones who've passed, or wondering whether you're truly supported… This episode is an invitation to listen differently, and find alignment through intention and love. You are more guided than you realize. Key Moments You'll Love ✨:

He is the founder and musical force behind Mariachi Sol de México, the trailblazing Mariachi Reyna de Los Ángeles, the Mariachi Heritage Society and the Mariachi Rams, in partnership with the Los Angeles Rams. Born on August 27, 1958, in Mexicali, Baja California, José comes from a proud lineage of mariachis and musicians, with family musical roots tracing back to the 1700s. He was named after his grandfather, José Hernández, a musician born in 1901 in Jalisco, Mexico, who helped lay the musical foundation that would inspire future generations. In 1981, José founded Mariachi Sol de México® with a bold vision: to expand the boundaries of mariachi music and elevate the genre beyond its traditional roots in ranchera and golden-age Mexican cinema. Under his leadership, the ensemble has become a global ambassador for Mariachi, known for its musical excellence and genre-blending innovation. Throughout his illustrious career, José has been nominated for four American Grammy Awards and nine Latin Grammys. He has collaborated with a remarkable roster of artists, including Vicente and Alejandro Fernández, Luis Miguel, Marco Antonio Solís, Lola Beltrán, Celia Cruz, Selena, Vikki Carr, Linda Ronstadt, Arturo Sandoval, José Feliciano, the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and The Beach Boys.

This week I'm talking to Kimberly Clark Sharp about her book 'AFTER THE LIGHT: What I Discovered on the Other Side of Life That Can Change Your World' and her part in the Maria's shoe case.Death is nothing to fear-and life without fear can be lived to the fullest. This is Kimberly Clark Sharp's message from her extraordinary experience during the time after her heart suddenly stopped beating and she lay on the sidewalk, not breathing, and without a pulse. Swept into a peaceful loving place of brilliant golden light and warm comfort, she saw, for the first time, the meaning of life-and death. Thereafter, Kimberly, with hamster Toto at her side, left Kansas for Seattle-known as "the Emerald City"-to fulfill a destiny devoted to the service of others as foreseen at the end of her near-death experience. Guided by a new sensitivity to the presence of angels, demons and other invisibilities, Kimberly attained a Masters degree in Social Work at the University of Washington and began a career in medical social work that put her in direct contact with dying people-and people who almost died and came back. It is the inspirational stories of these near-death experiences, as well as Kimberly's own life challenges in love, family life and the diagnosis of breast cancer, that form the core of this surprisingly funny page-turner of a book.BioKimberly Clark Sharp, MSW, LiCSW had a near-death experience at twenty-two. She is the author of After the Light: The Spiritual Path to Purpose (Wm. Morrow & Co. 1995); audio (HarperCollins 1995). Kimberly Clark Sharp is the founder of Seattle International Association of Near-Death Studies, the world's oldest and largest support group for near death experiencers, since 1982. Kimberly is an international conference and workshop speaker, a consultant to news and entertainment media, and has been published in many textbooks, journals, and magazines. She worked for two decades as a clinical assistant professor at the University of Washington. She co-taught a Terminal Illness Seminar at the University of Washington, School of Medicine.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0791LJL4H https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Lynn explains the dangers of the outdated Section 230, the terrifying rise of "sextortion" rings targeting teen boys, and the hypocrisy of platforms that can instantly censor political speech but claim they are unable to filter out content teaching kids self-harm. This episode serves as a call to action for parents to demand transparency from Congress and protect the next generation from digital predation. Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight as he dissects the constitutional and logistical absurdity of the United States trying to acquire Greenland, a move he labels "political theater" rather than a realistic policy proposal. This hour features a chaotic mix of callers, including a debate over the efficacy of a "Golden Dome" missile defense system against hypersonic threats and a listener's rambling, failed attempt to recount a 1970s sighting of an SR-71 spy plane. From breaking down the nightmare of Arctic warfare—where lubricants thicken and batteries fail—to questioning whether the President has the "cojones" or the legal authority to buy a country, Lionel navigates the madness with his signature irreverence.

Listeners call in with wild historical anecdotes, from the secret nuclear "city under the ice" at Camp Century to Coast Guard run-ins with Wehrmacht soldiers who didn't know World War II had started.

The episode culminates in a hilarious, show-stopping debate over the proper punchline to a joke involving a dying actor: is the cure garlic, chicken soup, or an enema?

Upon leaving Leeds College of Music, he studied trumpet in New York with the great Carmine Caruso before embarking on a playing career which would see him perform in many genres of music at the highest level. From the B.B.C. Radio Orchestra through the Buddy Rich & Gil Evans Orchestras, and on in to the Rock & Pop industry, Johnny established himself as a versatile and adaptable musician of the highest calibre. A measure of his success lies in the fact that his trumpet playing featured on at least 1 album in the UK album chart, continuously, without a break for over 13 years, and at one point he was playing on 11 of the top 50 albums in a single week. He has performed on over 6000 recordings, more than 100 top ten albums and 38 US & UK No.1 records, including the recent BTS global smash "Dynamite." A natural progression along the way was into record production, and he has produced (or co-produced) over 250 commercial releases, and co-written many of the songs. Indeed, he has had over 500 songs published, including songs for artists as diverse as The Spice Girls (he co-wrote their early songs), Odyssey & The Three Degrees. In recent years he has focused on building and selling a number of businesses in the music and technology space. Johnny also enjoys employing his communication skills and experience through writing and speaking, and is the Founder of Elite Music Camps - offering week-long residential music courses taught by some of the finest musicians in the world.

What happens when we die, and what if it's more beautiful than we've ever imagined? In this episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with John J. Davis, a man who died for 7 minutes during surgery... and came back with memories that will change how you see life, death, and what truly matters. What he experienced during his near-death journey is a powerful glimpse into the afterlife, complete with spirit guides, life reviews, soul contracts, and a reunion with loved ones (and pets) on the other side. John takes us beyond the white light to the "Orientation Center", a place souls go after they pass, to remember who they really are. He shares visions of cosmic libraries, planning rooms where we choose our lives, and the deep truth that no one comes to Earth by accident. This story is a breathtaking reminder that we are never truly alone and that our lives are more purposeful than we often realize. If you've ever wondered what happens when we die, what your soul came here to learn, or why life's challenges might be part of a deeper plan, this conversation will speak directly to your heart. === Guest Bio: John had a life-changing experience when he was 21 years old, which we now call a near-death experience. He was met by his spirit guide and given a tour of Heaven or the Other Side. During his experience, he was given a message to tell us that there is no death. Website: http://johnjdavisnde.com ===
What if one of the best-performing investments over the last few decades wasn't stocks, real estate, or gold — but LEGO? It sounds absurd, yet when researchers tracked the resale value of LEGO sets, they found returns that beat many traditional investments. We begin by looking at which sets gain value, why they do, and what makes some toys unexpectedly valuable. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0275531921001604 Life rarely goes according to plan. Careers shift, relationships change, health issues arise, and unexpected events force us to adapt — often before we feel ready. Since change is unavoidable, the real question becomes: how do you respond when life throws you off course? Maya Shankar joins me with powerful insights on navigating uncertainty and finding meaning when plans fall apart. Maya is a cognitive scientist, former senior advisor in the Obama White House, Senior Director of Behavioral Economics at Google, host of A Slight Change of Plans, and author of The Other Side of Change: Who We Become When Life Makes Other Plans (https://amzn.to/4qAad5U) Time is one of the few constants in life — yet our experience of it is anything but constant. Why does time seem to fly on vacation but crawl in traffic? Why do many people feel that time speeds up as they get older? And what is time, really? Sten Odenwald helps untangle these questions. He's a longtime astronomer, Director of NASA's STEM Resource Development Project, and author of The Essential Book of Time (https://amzn.to/3N6qNfm). And finally, legendary relationship researcher John Gottman says long-term relationships don't succeed because of romance, passion, or even communication skills alone. Instead, they hinge on just two essential qualities — and without them, relationships are likely doomed. Listen to find out what they are. https://www.businessinsider.com/lasting-relationships-rely-on-2-traits-2014-11 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dr. Maya Shankar is a cognitive scientist, host of the podcast “A Slight Change of Plans,” and author of “The Other Side of Change.” This conversation explores the challenge of navigating involuntary change, whether it's injury, loss, or a future that suddenly collapses. We discuss identity and attachment, the illusion of control, why our brains resist uncertainty, the end of history illusion, rumination, and practical tools to help us see change not as a burden—but as a revelation. Maya also opens up about her own identity crises, a career-ending injury at 15, and later pregnancy losses that forced her to confront who she was beyond her deepest aspirations. Change is coming for all of us, whether we like it or not. Maya's goal is to give you the companion you need along the way. Enjoy!
