In this episode, I sits down with my husband, Matt, for a raw and refreshingly honest conversation about spirituality, partnership, and what it really looks like to grow together when you're evolving in completely different ways. We explore the tension between wanting to be deeply seen in your healing journey and learning to honor the individuality, pace, and language of the person you love. I open up about the ego patterns that surfaced in my awakening, the messy desire for validation, and the tenderness of learning to stand in my truth without needing my partner to mirror it. Matt shares his grounded perspective on spirituality, emotional labor in relationships, and the realities of holding space during someone's rock bottoms. Together, we break down communication, boundaries, business, nervous system regulation, and why authenticity matters more than alignment that looks good on the internet. If you've ever wondered how to navigate a relationship where one person is “more spiritual,” or if you've been craving a down-to-earth conversation about love, personal growth, and the hard moments in between, this episode is for you. You'll walk away with new insight into sovereignty, acceptance, and how to honor your path without losing connection in the process. Take a breath - this one goes deep in a really beautiful way. We also talk about: - Why wanting your partner to be “more spiritual” often comes from fear - The ego's desire for validation and belonging during awakening - What it feels like to be the emotional “rock” during someone's deep healing - How to communicate when triggers and projections get activated - The difference between individuality vs. shared identity in partnership - Why spirituality is deeply personal and impossible to measure - The emotional consequences of Lauren's Sedona year and how they rebuilt - Navigating pressure, burnout, and regulation while running a business together - Letting go of performance on social media and embracing realness - Building a relationship rooted in respect, sovereignty, and actual teamwork

What if everything you've been searching for is already inside you — just waiting to be remembered? What if the exhaustion, the blocks, the patterns that keep repeating aren't signs that something is wrong with you, but simply energy that needs to be cleared? You are not broken. You never were. You are your own best healer. In this extraordinary episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with Oliver Niño — The Spiritual Activator, one of the most sought-after energy healers working today. Oliver didn't choose this path. He was a serial entrepreneur building and scaling businesses when his gifts suddenly activated during a trip to Sedona. What followed was a complete life pivot, and eventually the discovery that he came from a long lineage of healers in the Philippines. Oliver helps others do what once seemed impossible — clear decades of pain and activate spiritual gifts they didn't know they had. Together, we explore the energetic reality behind manifestation and why so many people struggle to create what they want despite doing all the “right” things. He reveals how unprocessed energy — from childhood trauma, environmental stress, and even generational patterns — blocks our natural creative power. When we remove these blocks, we stop forcing and start flowing. Life becomes easy, abundant, and aligned. We also dive into teachings from his book, Do This Before Bed: Simple 5-Minute Practices That Will Change Your Life, which offers practical ways to release the energy you've absorbed throughout the day, reset your vibration, and tap into your body's innate ability to heal and restore while you sleep. This episode is an invitation to remember what's always been true: that healing doesn't come from outside of you — it begins within you. Key Moments You'll Love:

Karl walks us through the tracks, the creative process, and the hilarious visual that pops into his mind when he explains the band name.And in true Karl fashion, we naturally veer off into aliens, UFOs, meteors, interstellar objects, Christmas albums, and even a wild story about his project Mother Vinegar playing a show at a strip club.Karl also shares his thoughts on the analog vs. digital debate, what bringing the upright bass into his repertoire has opened up for him (including the chance to play with three completely different bands), and how a trip to Sedona inspired both a track on the album and the full color scheme of the cover.And that's just part one.Hilarious, nostalgic, and packed with surprises — you're not going to want to miss it.

Send us a textWhat If Nothing You See Is Causing Your Suffering?This episode begins with a radical invitation: What if the world isn't doing anything to you? Not illness, not aging, not politics, not your relationships—nothing. Instead, what if every emotional charge is an echo of rejected feeling returning to be received and released?From this starting point, we walk a living path of transformation:Feel before you think—let sensation rise first, without attaching a story.Refuse to justify your feelings—and watch the false undo itself.Stop managing life, and start allowing love to reinterpret every experience.Along the way, we dismantle the hidden beliefs behind:Aging, sickness, and health anxietyProductivity culture and exhaustion cyclesPolitical outrage and social warfareRelationships that trigger deep longing, fear, or controlYou'll hear real-life stories—a luxury restaurant that forgot our table, an IRS audit, a viral comment storm—and watch each one turn from tension to laughter to miracle with one simple shift in perception.We redefine productivity as a state of rest in God, expose why you can't “fix” your life using the same mind that believes it's broken, and show how defenselessness is the greatest safety you'll ever know.We also go straight into the topics the ego uses to divide us: war, racism, crime, politics, gender. Not to choose a side, but to reveal the root belief in separation playing out beneath every narrative. When you stop arguing with your projections, compassion becomes your natural state—and joy starts leading the way.If you're ready to: ✨ Stop fighting your own thoughts ✨ Feel deeply without defending yourself ✨ Let joy override fear—without needing anything in the world to change…then this dialogue will meet you perfectly.Support the show

Title: Nordic Angels, Exit Points, and the Divine Blueprint — A Conversation with Peter AnthonyIn this soul-stirring episode of The Consciousness Dialogues, Grant Cameron and co-host Cindy Voll welcome Peter Anthony—TV producer, psychic detective, numerologist, and near-death experiencer—for a riveting exploration of life beyond the veil. What begins as a recounting of Peter's extraordinary journey quickly unfolds into a multidimensional transmission on synchronicity, divine intervention, and the architecture of consciousness itself.Peter's story defies conventional boundaries. From a career launched by a chance TV appearance to his work alongside Dan Rather and Diane Sawyer, his life was already steeped in synchronicity before a near-death experience in 1987 radically altered his trajectory. That event not only stripped away his artistic talents but replaced them with mathematical downloads—Pythagorean codes and repeating number sequences like 1111, 222, and 333—that would become the foundation of his spiritual work.But what truly sets Peter apart is his encounters with what he calls “Nordic Angels”—tall, androgynous, blue-eyed beings who appear at moments of crisis, often during what he terms “exit points.” These are not full-blown NDEs, but critical junctures—car crashes, mountain falls, shark attacks—where death brushes close but doesn't claim. In these moments, Peter describes being physically saved by these luminous beings, who vanish as mysteriously as they arrive.The conversation dives deep into the metaphysics of these encounters. Are these angels? ETs? As Peter shares, their presence is unmistakably divine, yet their origins defy easy categorization. He recounts telepathic exchanges, the inability to retain their names, and the overwhelming sense of peace and purpose they impart. Grant draws parallels to the “Third Man Effect,” a phenomenon documented in survival literature where unseen presences guide individuals through life-threatening situations.Cindy adds her own resonance, having received a numerology reading from Peter that profoundly impacted her path. She also shares insights from Jim Semivan and Dr. Eben Alexander, suggesting that near-death experiences may be gateways to contact with non-human intelligence. The trio explores how experiencers often return with heightened psychic abilities, a sense of mission, and a deepened connection to universal consciousness.Throughout the episode, themes of gratitude, faith, and surrender emerge as central pillars. Peter describes his annual 11:11 ritual—traveling to global vortexes like Sedona and Stonehenge, offering himself as a vessel for divine service, and recording synchronicities in a gratitude journal. He emphasizes that the more we live in gratitude, the more grace flows into our lives.This episode is not just a conversation—it's a transmission. It invites listeners to reconsider the nature of reality, the role of trauma in awakening, and the possibility that we are guided by unseen hands. Whether you're a seasoned experiencer or newly curious about the intersection of consciousness, numerology, and the paranormal, Peter's story will leave you inspired, expanded, and perhaps even activated.Tune in for a journey through the veil—and discover why Peter Anthony believes we are all part of a divine blueprint, unfolding one synchronicity at a time
Send us a textLet's talk about LOVE. The most precious and powerful force in our world. This episode addresses what love is, what it does, where we can find it, and where we would be without it? Aligning ourselves with the healing frequencies of love, is the primary reason for this podcast. To elevate our relationship with love, is to heal ourselves and our planet. Love is a living energy that births the infinite. It's the innocence of nature transforming our visual universe. To provide us with an understanding of our divine place with all things. So let's talk about when Love is absent from the moral fabric of our lives. And what we're going through at this time in our human evolution. How we'll heal the wounds of human assault on the heart of all living beings. To shift into a new way of being, and escort in a New Earth. Because LOVE, cares for us like a mother cares for her child. And when we live in her presence... the whole world opens up to us.To Support the production of Heart Sense please use the following Link. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1888298/supportOriginal Music by Tyler Carson - Fiddlerontherock.com - Celtic Dreams - Song: Don't Worry https://youtu.beRDDX2WSUUM?

Send us a textThe outer world keeps changing—new cities, new housemates, even a pile of clutter beside your pillow—and yet peace remains available in every breath. In this Wisdom Dialogues episode, we step into a Sedona season of daily practice and non-dual exploration, where spiritual concepts are tested in real-life scenarios: sleeping next to a messy workspace, navigating old food beliefs, feeling heartbreak ripple through the nervous system, and living alongside a neighbor convinced he's fighting demons.The invitation is simple and radical: nothing outside you is the cause of anything. Thoughts that disturb peace are the only obstacles—and they dissolve through awareness, humor, and a willingness to feel.Over seven weeks of transformational bridging, we explore:Taking life less personallyWatching lack evaporate and abundance reveal itselfMoving from “dry and frugal” conditioning into a juicy embrace of presenceHealth as devotion to awareness—not rulesHigh-fat foods, fascia release, and compression as tools, not idolsReleasing the pride–shame loop in favor of gentleness and receptivityWe reframe agreements, calendars, and productivity as peripherals already handled when we listen to Spirit. Even heartbreak and demon narratives get rewritten. Fear is projection. Love is the ground.Food becomes a playful practice—not moral, not controlled—just guided by peace in the moment. Coffee headaches, fried snacks, and anti-aging lasers reveal how the mind gives power to belief. Withdraw the belief, return causality to mind, and joy returns to the simplest bite.We also explore key ACIM principles, including:“You need do nothing” as an active state of trustThe integrity of Spirit guiding relationshipsHow joining in love shifts the entire perceptual fieldCome for Sedona stories.

In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic Podcast, I'm sharing one of the most powerful transformations I've ever experienced—what happened when I met my Inner Critic face-to-face in the vortex energy of Sedona. From the moment “Worrying Wilhelmina” showed up, trying to make everyone happy and fix what wasn't mine to fix, I was invited into a deeper truth: that real safety doesn't come from control or perfection—it comes from presence, trust, and self-compassion.
Send us a textA short trail host, a 214-mile finish, and a brutally honest look at what it really takes to cross a 200-mile line with your head still on straight. Franc returns fresh off the Mammoth 200 to unpack the race that started as a joke and turned into a test of logistics, mindset, and pain tolerance. We talk about the fast first day that had him mixing it with the leaders, the sandy fire roads that shredded his feet, and the moment—somewhere around mile 114—when he had to find a real why or walk off the course.We go deep on the parts most recaps skip. How do you structure sleep so you stop dozing while walking? What does smart foot care actually look like under constant sand—washing, lube, taping, sock swaps—and how fast does neglect ruin a great engine? Why does some pain feel worse when you walk than when you jog? Franc shares what worked in his fueling (steady gels and real food, zero stomach drama), what didn't (delayed foot fixes), and why crew can make or break a second night. We also zoom out to the front of the race: how Jimmy Elam proved 200s can be fast and how Rachel Enterkin's relentless push hints at a new era for the distance.Training takeaways are clear and actionable: build volume patiently, treat heavy strength work as a durability cornerstone, and test your sleep and foot systems long before race week. We touch tough edges too—microdosing debates, WADA rules, appetite suppression risks, and the boundaries of sobriety—without glamorizing shortcuts. If you're eyeing Sedona 125, Cocodona, or any race where days blur and aid stations feel like islands, this conversation gives you a roadmap and a reality check.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a trail friend, and leave a quick review so more runners can find it.

With Sedona, if you know SQL, you know GIS. Rakesh Gupta is Principal Consultant at SketchMyView in London. He tells us about how to set up Apache Sedona in Microsoft Fabric in 2 lines of code. It was a privilege to have his time for this tutorial as he showed how easy it is to get up and running with a powerful, free spatial analysis system that leverages Apache Spark for scalable compute. He also touched in the new SedonaDB, released last month. This is a significant development for the geospatial economy because it is a database created with geospatial data as a first class citizen. This means we have our own database library that is only a pip install away:pip install "apache-sedona[db]"Something to consider as a replacement for DuckDB. More here and here.

An investigation into whether the city of Sedona's police chief and its former mayor harassed each other has come to a close. The Arizona Supreme Court ruled that the secretary of state does not have to follow a law governing how state agencies make rules when he creates a biennial rule book for local election officials. Plus the latest business, education and metro Phoenix news.
I'm so delighted to share this episode with my dear friend, Amanda Romania. Amanda is a master Oracle of the Akashic Records, an international author, and a visionary teacher who has been guiding people for over 20 years. She's based in Sedona, where she works one-on-one with clients, leads sacred site journeys, and teaches students how to safely navigate the Akashic field. I HIGHLY recommend Amanda. I have been using her exceptional services for years myself! In this conversation we go deep into: ✨ How Amanda first stumbled into the Akashic Records through past-life initiations at ancient temples ✨ The five “libraries” of the Records: past lives, present life, future lives, the life between lives, and cosmic lives ✨ What happens in the life between lives — and how unfinished business affects your soul purpose now ✨ Accessing future life timelines as a call to action in the present moment ✨ Why so many people sensed something big before COVID arrived in 2020, and what that has to do with collective evolution ✨ Galactic heritage and starseed lineages — and how to honor them while still living your human purpose ✨ Staying grounded as gifts open, especially in a time of accelerated awakening Amanda's way of working with the Records is beautifully unique. Instead of the typical prayer formula (which she tips her hat to with reverence), she draws on her initiations through Atlantis, Egypt, and other sacred temples to open the Records in a mystery school style. For her, the process is more about frequency, guardians, and codes. I love Amanda's practical, grounded approach. She brings galactic wisdom, soul purpose clarity, and multidimensional vision — while always reminding us that our human life matters most. Resources:
In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic Podcast, I'm diving into what it really takes to move through the unknown without letting fear or control run the show. As I prepare to lead a retreat in Sedona, I'm exploring why our minds grip so tightly when life feels uncertain—and how that tension in our thoughts, emotions, and nervous system keeps us stuck in old loops of survival. When we learn to regulate our body, release the old identity that fears the unknown, and anchor into the calm trust of our future self, life begins to open in ways we could never have planned. ✨ If you've ever felt on the edge of a new chapter but afraid to let go of control, this conversation will help you step into trust, alignment, and the peace that comes from letting life lead. Your weekly reflection questions: When you think about the next chapter of your life, do you notice your mind trying to control the unknown—or can you let yourself trust what you can't yet see? What stories does your Inner Critic tell you when things feel uncertain, and how do those stories show up in your body? If your future self—calm, grounded, and trusting—were here right now, how would she breathe, respond, or move through this moment?
On today's newscast: Sedona releases investigation into harassment complaints between the police chief and former mayor, Mohave County supervisors are backing an attempt to undo a rule they say limits local access to public lands, Coconino County steps in to ensure families don't lose access to food assistance during the government shutdown, and more.

What happens when a military-trained investigator, woodsman, and lifelong hunter finds himself face-to-face with something that shouldn't exist? In this gripping episode, we sit down with AP, a seasoned outdoorsman from Missouri and a former military police officer, who shares a series of chilling encounters from the Roby area and the surrounding Mark Twain National Forest. From a glowing red orb floating out of an abandoned farmhouse to a deep, vibrating voice that seemed to punch him in the chest, AP's story unfolds with eerie precision and military-grade detail.But the story doesn't stop there. In a spontaneous open mic session, listeners from around the country share terrifying experiences: a woman on Clear Creek Road hears blood-curdling screams and tree knocks, a Maine man describes hearing screams and seeing twisted oaks on his mountain property, a Northern California logger watches a Sasquatch pace his truck at 40 miles per hour before uprooting trees near his house, an Arizona hiker spots something massive trying to camouflage itself on the way to Sedona, and a Missouri man from St. Louis recalls the day a Bigfoot spoke to him and left him gifts in return.This is a patchwork of the unexplained — voices from across the country, each adding another piece to the mystery. From whispered warnings in the woods to roars that silence the insects, Episode 921 is a chilling chorus of firsthand encounters that will leave you questioning what walks just beyond the treeline.

Afraid of AI? We share how to start small and take control using AI fear-free. Also: bear attacks in Missouri and British Columbia raise outdoor safety concerns, and women bronc riders are defying rodeo stereotypes. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Real Fear, Real Change: Why It's Time to Embrace AI, Respect Wildlife, and Cheer on Women in Rodeo Don't Fear the Future: How to Start Using AI in Everyday Life Without Feeling Overwhelmed Curious about AI but a little nervous to try it? Learn how to start using AI fear-free with beginner-friendly tools, simple tasks like meal planning, and trusted platforms to get you started. Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn't just for tech experts, coders, or Silicon Valley. In fact, AI is already helping everyday people solve everyday problems—and you can start using it right now, even if you're a complete beginner. If you've been feeling hesitant or even afraid of AI, you're not alone. But the truth is, learning how to use AI doesn't have to be intimidating. With the right mindset and a few simple tools, you can start making your life easier today. Why Are People Afraid of AI? Many people fear AI because of myths and misunderstandings—like the idea that it's going to take over jobs or turn into science fiction-level robots. In reality, AI is more like a helpful assistant. Think of it as a calculator for your brain—only smarter, faster, and more versatile. The key is learning how to work with AI, not against it. Beginner-Friendly AI Use: Meal Planning & Fridge Rescue Let's start with something simple and familiar: food. AI can take the stress out of cooking and shopping with easy tools that help you: 1. Plan Your Weekly Meals Instead of scrolling endlessly for recipe ideas, you can ask AI to: Create a weekly dinner plan based on your dietary needs (gluten-free, keto, vegetarian, etc.) Generate a shopping list based on your meal plan Suggest quick recipes for busy nights Try This Prompt: "Can you create a 5-day dinner meal plan for two adults, under $75, that includes leftovers for lunch?" 2. Use What's in the Fridge Don't throw away food just because you don't know what to do with it. AI can suggest creative, safe, and delicious ways to use ingredients before they expire. Try This Prompt: "I have eggs, wilting spinach, a half-used onion, and some shredded cheese. What can I cook tonight?" You'll be surprised how helpful and creative AI can be! Tips & Tricks to Start Using AI Fear-Free Here's how to dip your toes into the AI pool without diving headfirst: 1. Start With Low-Risk, Everyday Tasks AI is great for: Making grocery lists Writing polite emails Summarizing long articles Brainstorming gift ideas Budget planning The more you use it for small tasks, the more confident you'll feel. 2. Use Clear, Friendly Prompts Don't overthink it—talk to AI like a helpful assistant or a friend. Instead of: "Build me a machine learning model to predict market trends" Try: "Can you explain what inflation is in simple terms?" Safe AI Tools & Websites for Beginners Tool What It Does Why It's Good for Beginners ChatGPT (OpenAI) Answers questions, helps plan, write, learn Very conversational and user-friendly Google Gemini Similar to ChatGPT, connected to live web Great for real-time info Pro Tip: Always double-check anything AI gives you—especially when it comes to food safety, finances, or health. Think of AI like a smartphone app: it's here to make your life easier, not harder. Starting small—with simple things like meal planning or organizing your week—can build your confidence and save you time. You don't need to become an AI expert overnight. You just need curiosity, a willingness to try, and a safe place to start. Tragedy in the Ozarks: Bear Attack Confirmed Authorities have confirmed that a black bear was responsible for the tragic death of a camper in Newton County, Arkansas. 60-year-old Max Thomas of Springfield, Missouri, was camping alone at Sam's Throne Campground in the Ozark National Forest late last week. Thomas had been sleeping on an open-air cot—completely exposed—when he was attacked overnight. Family members grew concerned after not hearing from him for several days. Before communication stopped, Thomas had sent them a photo of a black bear lurking near his campsite. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission initially suspected a bear due to the nature of his injuries and signs at the scene. Now, it's confirmed. Using Thomas's photo and trail cameras set up after the incident, officials tracked down and euthanized the bear believed to be responsible. It's a rare and tragic reminder of the risks of camping in bear country—especially without proper protection. This marks the 2nd Missouri fatal bear attack in a month after 25 years without any.

Wilderness According to Outdoor Life, an elk hunter in southeastern British Columbia is lucky to be alive after a serious encounter with a grizzly bear near Fort Steele last Thursday. Authorities say the man, whose name hasn't been released, was critically injured after a sow grizzly—believed to be protecting her cubs—attacked him. The hunter had been using elk calls, which officials believe may have unintentionally drawn the bear family to his location. The man reportedly got off one shot during the attack, but it's unclear if the bear was hit. Due to the severity of his injuries, officials haven't been able to speak with him yet. He was airlifted to Kelowna General Hospital, where he is now listed in stable condition. Conservation officers used thermal drones and helicopters to search the area but found no sign of the bear afterward. The investigation is ongoing, with help from predator attack specialists and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The town of Fort Steele lies approximately 60 miles north of the Canadian border, and not far from the town of Whitefish and nearby Glacier National Park in northwest Montana. Officials say elk season is currently in full swing in the region—reminding hunters and outdoor enthusiasts to stay alert in grizzly country. Reference: https://www.outdoorlife.com/survival/elk-hunter-attacked-grizzly-bear-bc/ Women Bronc Riders Bucking Rodeo Stereotypes From wild rides to world titles, women bronc riders are rewriting the rodeo rulebook — and they're doing it with grit, guts, and a whole lot of heart. Riders like Tup Forge, who flew in from Australia and won gold at Cheyenne Frontier Days on just three hours of sleep, are proving that this sport isn't just for the boys. It's been less than a decade since women were welcomed back into rough stock competitions after nearly 90 years of exclusion, originally sparked by a tragic accident in 1929. But these modern cowgirls aren't just here for show — they're serious athletes competing in one of the most dangerous events out there. They ride what they rope in — using ranch saddles instead of the typical rodeo gear — and often spend more than they win. Yet despite the bruises and empty pockets, they keep showing up. Why? Because they love it. So next time you see a woman riding high on a bucking bronc, remember: she's not just breaking barriers — she's making history. Ring in 2026 in true Western style at Leather & Lace: A New Year's Rodeo & Party! Watford City, North Dakota will come alive on New Year's Eve with a one-of-a-kind celebration featuring grit, glamour and good times!

Of course there were still prickly pear cactus everywhere, it was refreshing to see so many juniper cousin trees! We rented our first tiny home at the Pines Resort outside of west Sedona and love it! These little homes offered all the amenities of home!

(00:00) Weather and Golf Post Ryder Cup This chapter brings us to the picturesque Pine Canyon in Flagstaff, Arizona, where we share a mix of personal experiences and reflections on recent golf events. We recount the unexpected hailstorms and flooding in Arizona, painting a vivid picture of the unusual weather conditions that recently swept through the region. Amidst this backdrop, I took the opportunity to savor a quiet day on the golf course, capturing videos and appreciating the scenic beauty before the onset of winter. We then shift our focus to the Ryder Cup, highlighting the challenges faced by even the world's best golfers in alternate shot formats. The discussion emphasizes the psychological pressures of playing not just for oneself, but also for a partner and country. We explore how the European team's familiarity with match play contributed to their superior preparation and performance, leading to a decisive advantage in the initial rounds against the U.S. team. (12:08) Ryder Cup Crowd Behavior Discussion This chapter takes us through a candid conversation about golf, regional attitudes, and sportsmanship. Jeff Smith joins from Flagstaff, Arizona, as we discuss the challenge of playing at Bethpage Black, one of the toughest courses. We reminisce about Michael Michaelides, who worked there and his New York grit. The discussion turns to the notorious behavior of some New York fans during the Ryder Cup, reflecting on the negative stereotypes of the "ugly American" and sharing personal anecdotes from living in New York. We explore the tension between being a sports fan and maintaining respect, especially when witnessing the unprecedented face-off between the world's top two golfers. As someone who spent my teenage years in New York City, I share insights into the sometimes brusque nature of New Yorkers, illustrating the contrast with an amusing story about our move from Boston. (16:34) Golf Techniques This chapter offers a delightful blend of sports commentary and musical nostalgia. We share our appreciation for the professionalism of broadcasters Terry Gannon and Dan Hicks, while also distinguishing Dan Hicks from the country singer of the same name, known for his hit "How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away." Our discussion then transitions to the golf world, focusing on Brad Faxon's insightful commentary and the notable absence of Keegan Bradley from a major tournament despite being the 13th ranked player globally. We speculate on the challenges and pressures that might have influenced his decision not to play, and reflect on the relentless nature of armchair critics. Additionally, we ponder the minute differences in skill and precision that can determine success in golf, particularly during high-stakes competitions like the Ryder Cup. (32:07) Sound Analysis and Sporting Events This chapter explores the nuances of sound in golf, particularly how experienced caddies like Jim "Bones" McKay can discern the difference between an average and a perfect strike, as demonstrated through the example of PGA Tour winner Tyler Duncan. We also touch on travel experiences, discussing scenic and not-so-scenic routes across the United States, from the engaging landscapes of Sedona to the tedious drive from Phoenix to Palm Springs. Additionally, we reflect on the recent disappointment at the Ryder Cup, despite high expectations, and share plans for an upcoming road trip across the country. Alongside these discussions, there is an exciting mention of attending a concert, with a hint of humor regarding who the performers might be. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of VISITORS, Kelly sits down with Juergen Hess—aka Hoodoo Tall—fresh off earning his Ph.D. in Metaphysical Sciences, a milestone that formalizes years of disciplined fieldwork around Sedona and the Bradshaw Ranch. Known for blurring the lines between researcher, experiencer, and storyteller, Juergen shares wisdom shaped by a long friendship and mentorship with the late John Lear, as well as first-hand time “working with” Lear on investigations. He also opens a window into his friendship with author Lou Baldin, a singular (and sometimes polarizing) voice whose ideas are resurfacing—and that some in the UFO community, including Richard Dolan, have been highlighting as worth a closer look. What makes Hoodoo stand out isn't just the footage or the archives—it's the way he leads with empathy and kindness, modeling how to ask brave questions without dehumanizing the people behind the stories. That's why Sam and Kelly have been proud to share Hoodoo's work with their girls: as a living example of pursuing your passions with courage, integrity, and curiosity. And if the stars align, we hope to experience Hoodoo's work in person on our next trip to Sedona—right where so much of this high-strangeness begins. If you're new to Hoodoo Tall, this conversation is an ideal entry point; if you've followed him for years, you'll hear fresh context—from Lear's influence to Baldin's thought experiments—framed by a researcher who never forgets that people come first. For more on Hoodoo's recent work and appearances, see his VISITORS episode and recent interviews exploring Bradshaw Ranch phenomena.

And we, deep down, know what those things are, but sometimes we still cling to those things that we are not, right, because it feels comfortable.Lesley Logan 0:20 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:59 All right, Be It babe. I'm so obsessed. I'm so obsessed with today's guest. Like, there's times I'm like, oh, I love all these people. And then there's times I'm like, okay, this guest, I want to be friends with. I want to have coffee with. I want to have a weekly date with. When I enter her, I'd say, like, she is like, this beam of light. And I'm telling you, she's a beam of light, and she really, really, really creates this amazing space for you to step up into the woman that you are wanting to be it till you see it. So Wendy Valentine's, our guest, super, super fun. She's the host of the Midlife Makeover Show, and I was on her show. So if you want to go check out that show to get to know her more. And you know, that's a good episode to start with, because obviously you trust me, so there's that. And then you can, like, go through all of her catalog. She's just so amazing. So I'm gonna let us get into this episode so you can get all the good stuff coming from Wendy Valentine. Lesley Logan 1:45 All right, Be It babe, today's guest and I are already having too much fun. She's only in Sedona right now, so she's not too far off, but I feel like we should be hanging out in real life. Wendy Valentine, you're just, tell everyone why you're just such the magical like beam of light that we all want to be around and be your best friend.Wendy Valentine 2:16 How much time do we have?Lesley Logan 2:21 I mean at least 30 minutes of you telling us why you're so amazing.Wendy Valentine 2:27 There is one word that I hear all the time. It's a word that's used to describe me the most. No, it's not crazy. I do get that sometimes, but it's energy, energy, energy, energy. And I was thinking about this this morning, because, as we know, like, energy cannot be created or destroyed. Yeah, it's only transformed into something else, right? You had an ice cube on the pan back there in the RV, and then it melts into water, and then eventually it goes into steam. And I think that's like, I feel like, for myself right now in my life, like I am becoming that steam and moving into the universe. That sounds all so voodoo, but it's like that constant evolving, which I think is so magnificent, and just moving into the energy of it all.Lesley Logan 3:18 Yeah, I think that's so cool. So how did you become someone who is, like, known for energy? Like, how did this like, have like, were you born this way? Was this your job when you were in your 20s? Did this just happen?Wendy Valentine 3:30 Well, you know, I mean, good question. I mean, as you know, we're all energy, but I think it's when I really started to own, to own it, to own who I am and to create who I wanted to be, not to family and friends and society and all that other crap wanted me to be. It's when I finally stepped into my true self and my true calling. And I think you know what? Like that whole like, be your authentic self, be your true self, that's all like being thrown around a lot these days. We're like, what does that mean? What does it mean, really?Lesley Logan 4:04 I know, but tell me how, but tell me how. Because I was born like I was raised in like, follow these instructions. Do this work. If you do all these things, then everything works out, which is bullshit and so and then people go and then be your authentic self. And I'm like, okay, but how? Because I don't think I've ever been, I was never taught to be authentic. I was taught to follow the rules. Wendy Valentine 4:23 Yeah, you know what though? It's more about it's not learning who you are to become. It's learning who you are not. And I love the analogy of Michelangelo and the beautiful statue of David. Let's all picture him for a moment. Oh yes. But when they when they asked Michelangelo, how did you carve the statue of David? He's like, oh, that was easy. I just carved away everything that was not him. So if you think about it, you should always have that chisel in your hand in the nicest of ways, but constantly and consciously be chiseling away the things that are not you. And we, deep down, know what those things are, but sometimes we still cling to those things that we are not, right, because it feels comfortable. Even though it's uncomfortable, it's comfortable, it's like, but this is who I am. This is my identity, yeah.Lesley Logan 5:14 Well, and I think, like, I think a lot of people, you said it's my identity, it's their identity, to be always going through drama, to be always like, to always have a shit day at work. Like, can you believe it? Can you believe this happened? Like those, it's that's some people's identity. And, like, I get so annoyed with myself when I, like, hear myself repeating the same negative, bad thing that happened, and I'm like, is this becoming something that has, like, a growth on my shoulder, or like, like, is this becoming part of the of like, of the not the costume, but like, what is Lesley? Because it's like, I don't want to hear this anymore, so I definitely don't want to stick around. So I love the idea of a, I go a visual, physical chisel going no, no, no.Wendy Valentine 5:58 Part of you know that is not you. There's that quote from Marianne Williamson, it is my fave, and it's got me through the toughest of times, or gotten me to where I'm at now. And she says, our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us, because you think about it, if you were to step fully into your light, what does that mean? Like what does that look like? Right? Because that would require, possibly, just like myself, it would require maybe a divorce, maybe quitting a job you hate, maybe moving, maybe buying an RV like I did. Maybe, I mean, it's going to require you to actually move and do some shit in your life if you truly stepped into your light, but, or you could just stay right there in the dark because it's more comfortable, because it's predictable. The darkness is predictable, the the uncomfortable comfort zone is predictable, predictable, right? Yeah.Lesley Logan 7:03 Yeah, I mean, I don't know who said it, but, like, there is, like, that story of, like, why does a dog, like, not move off of sitting on that rock? It's like, well, the rock isn't uncomfortable enough, you know, and so a lot of people wait to, wait so long, and so they're so uncomfortable, and then they shed it all, and then they step into this light. And that, it can be scary. Like we interviewed Gay Hendricks on this podcast, and he is the, I know, I fucking love him, he's such a sweet man. He's just, he, like, every time I go to Cambodia, he's like, did you get some milk fruit? Like, he's just, he's like, it's the best fruit. And he is right. It is the best fruit. And it's only available half of the time, so I'm never there, but I got to have it. But at any rate, he talks about your big leap is, like, because, like, when you are in your comfort zone, you can even, like, he even called like, your your like, zone of genius, and you're like, okay, well, that's a good spot to be in. Like, that's like, amazing, but it's or zone of excellence, excuse me. Like, of course I would like to be there. Like, that sounds really good, but like, that's actually still uncomfortable, but like it's comfortable, like it's actually not where your light is, that you're talking about, it's like, it's like, there's another layer, there's an outer ring, there's that ring of light around Saturn, and you're supposed to be there. Wendy Valentine 7:03 That's just like, dipping your toe in the water. Lesley Logan 7:13 Yeah, but then he and he talks about, like, how, well, when you get to that zone of genius, when you get to that outer ring, you get to your light, then there's, like, a few things that we do to just fuck it all up and bring us back to that comfortable discomfort, you know, like that self-deprivation.Lesley Logan 7:13 And a comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there.Lesley Logan 8:38 Oh, Wendy Valentine, say it one more time.Wendy Valentine 8:44 Soak it up. Soak it up. A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there. So if you want to grow, I know y'all do, you have got to get out of that damn comfort zone. You know, I want to say though, I was on the treadmill this morning, and I was thinking. Lesley Logan 8:58 Do you have a treadmill in your RV or do you go the gym? Wendy Valentine 9:04 No, I'm actually at this nice resort. I mean, RVing has come a long way, y'all, thank God.Lesley Logan 9:09 I mean, we live in our van like it's it's not so bad. Sometimes it's better than the hotel.Wendy Valentine 9:12 We got, we got hot tubs, we got swimming pools, we got food trucks. I mean, we don't mess around over here. But yeah, I was at the gym this morning and I was walking on the treadmill, and I was thinking, I love the name I have since the moment when I met you and I heard about your podcast. I love the name of your podcast. Be It Till You See It. And I got choked, people were probably like, why is that lady over there balling on the treadmill? And you know, right now, I'm reaping the benefits of what I sowed years ago and getting outside of my damn comfort zone. But you know, what's so cool? I might cry right now. I did not put on waterproof mascara, but I am seeing it in my life, all those seeds I planted years ago, and that amount of time. I watered and watered those damn seeds. It's like, I'm seeing it. It's like, it's so freaking cool when you get to that other side, and yes, you will, is so it is beautiful. It's much more beautiful. And, and yes, you will grow when you get to the other side of it. If you want, I can take y'all back to my breakdown to breakthrough. Lesley Logan 10:22 I was just gonna say, I think we need to go back to the seed planting days, or at least, like, the days before the RV, the day before the book, the days before the podcast. Like, what, what? Like, who were you? How did because we love you now. But like, we loved you then. But like, what? What was the reason for all what was the reason for all this, you know, seed reaping? Wendy Valentine 10:43 And we all love a good breakdown and a breakthrough story. Lesley Logan 10:46 Yeah, we do. Wendy Valentine 10:47 But make sure everyone grab your violin, (inaudible) sad song right now. So let's see. For about 45 years old, here I was. I was living in Virginia, going through a divorce, empty nest. I had chronic illness, black mold toxicity, Lyme disease. We'll toss in a little menopause, just, for fun.Lesley Logan 11:10 Yeah. I mean, for sure, probably, yeah.Wendy Valentine 11:13 Yeah, yeah. I was at least 150 grand in debt, unemployed. Let's see what else. Oh, within a six week period, I had to watch my dog die, my cat die, and my brother die. And then from all of that, I started experiencing panic attacks, anxiety, and needless to say, I went into a massive, deep, dark, awful depression. So here I was, 45 years old, and I was like, shit, now what? And, I mean, I kept thinking, I was like, I only turned 50. That's like, like, that, that halfway mark, if you're that lucky that it's an halfway mark, right? And I don't know if anything could have gotten worse for me in that moment. And let's, let's just all imagine the scene. I literally was laying on my bathroom floor, like laying there, bawling my eyes out, feeling sorry for myself, I'll admit, and I was thinking, What the hell am I going to do? And all of a sudden, like, and it was part of me like this, this vision popped in my head, and it was, it was a little bit of an escape, I'll admit, but it was a beautiful escape. And I was like, wouldn't be nice to just get the fuck out of here? You know, like, I just want to escape my my life that I was in. And I was like, I want to drive an RV across the country. And then I'm like, man. And then, of course, that nagging voice in my head was like, yeah, you're broke, you don't have a job. How that? How are you going to do that? And but then I was like, you know, I just want to sit here and think about this dream. It was the only thing that gave me hope. And so I thought, you know what? What the hell like my life. I was already down here. The only way was going up, right? I was like, let's just go for it. What's the worst that could happen? I'm gonna fucking go for it. So I got up and I started applying for jobs all the way across the country, like I was, I was so desperate. I was like, I'll take anything. Okay, I'll sell popsicles in Mexico. I don't care, whatever. So then I get a job offer a week later, selling, you'll probably, you're probably familiar with his name, Pulte, Pulte Del Webb, I got a job offer with Pulte to sell new construction homes in Chicago. And I was like, Chicago. Never been there. I didn't know how to sell homes, but what the hell. I pack off the U-Haul. I drive from Virginia to Chicago. I start my job on Monday. About a year later, I went from making $0 to a half a million dollars. Obviously, paid off all my debt, bought this RV that I'm sitting in right now. Now, mind you, okay, I love Pulte, and it was a great, beautiful company. But I am not a corporate girl. I am not. Like, that's a chisel where I was like, girl listen here, you're not you, you know. And I will have to say, that's a lesson in itself, right there. Don't be afraid to try something. That does not mean if you try something, you can't pivot, okay?Lesley Logan 14:33 Right and also, like, can I just, like, say, like, I mean, clearly, Pulte was, like, quite the bridge to show you what you're capable of, and it get was a one, the fact that in one year, you can make that much money, going from zero to that much money, and not become someone who doesn't like, take your dreams the next level. You actually like, used it to launch yourself. I think it's like, I think it's so cool. Wendy Valentine 14:57 Yes and how easy would it have been for me to stay there. Lesley Logan 15:00 Oh, yeah and so. Wendy Valentine 15:01 Everyone was like, why are you gonna leave this job that you're you're killing it, killing it. I was like, yeah, but this is not for me. The chisel.Lesley Logan 15:09 Well and also, yeah, the chisel, I love that. And also, like, we had a lot of people that are like, I want to do this thing. I'm just gonna go all in. And I'm like, honey, if you can't pay for your bills, you can't pay your food, you are going to put pressure on this dream you have. Go get a job at Starbucks, make sure your bills are paid, have health insurance, all the things, and then use every other minute to make this thing happen. So I actually think it's really cool that not only you did it in a year, but that you, at a year, were able to, like, evaluate and go, I gotta chisel this off, because this isn't me, and not listen to the family who's like, you should just stay and make all that money. Wendy Valentine 15:46 Yes and remind yourself, if you are in a job you don't love, you're you're in a relationship you don't love, you're living in a place you don't love, remind yourself this is temporary. Everything is temporary, right? I mean, all in all, everything is temporary. Just remind yourself like this is just for now. This is just for now. Like, every day when I'd be, like, driving in the snow in Chicago, heading to this job to, like, talk about granite countertops. I was like, It's okay. I can do this. I cant do this. But then, yeah, I was like, all right, well, what am I going to do? I don't want to work for corporate. I and I was like, you know, I've always, I want to be a writer. I always knew I would become a writer. I was like, I want to be a writer. How am I? How am I going to become a writer? And I always wanted to have my own show. So I was like, how am I going to do this? And I had to be able to work remotely. Obviously, because traveling in an RV, I had to be able to work remotely, right? So I was listening to Cathy Heller's podcast and she was interviewing Stephanie Gass. And something, you know, it's like, if you get that funny feeling in your tummy, that gut instinct of like, I need to move on this. I don't know what it is, just do not question it. Just go for it. I hired Stephanie Gass, and within 30 minutes, I knew exactly what my niche was going to be and what my podcast was going to be called. And I was like, that's it. I had I had it. I was like, I'm going to talk about midlife. I'm going to talk about not even just midlife, but transforming your life. Because I did it, like, I was the guinea pig, right? I'm like, I did, I know how to do it. So I kept my day job, and then at night, I started working on my dream business. I started working on the website and then the photography and the the podcast, all, all the stuff, you know, right? Started doing my research and just little by little, and then eventually, the RV, finally, I ordered it like eight months before, finally arrived and it was go time to quit my job and take off into the Sedona sunset.Lesley Logan 17:51 Okay but also, like, I think it's so, I wanted to say, like, I think sometimes we, like, underestimate what we can do in a short period of time, because you just celebrated 50. Am I correct?Wendy Valentine 18:01 Yeah, yeah. So it took me, well, actually, I'm 52. It took me from the moment, like when I moved to Chicago, to taking off in the RV, it took me approximately two and a half years, and then I've been on the road for three so, yes, it takes time. And is it easy? Hell no. Is it worth it? Hell yes.Lesley Logan 18:23 Yeah, yeah. I mean, like, there's, you know, like, I think things happen faster than we think, and some things are a little slower than we expected. Like, the time, we never get the timeline exactly right. But also, like, it would have been so like, could you imagine on the bathroom floor being like, well, it's gonna take a long time. I don't know. Like, I bet, you know what I mean, I think we just take, we talk ourselves out of things so and we also think, well, I'm at this age. I should be already. Like, I should be doing this program. I should have this already. I mean, like, I kind of think it's really cool that you were the guinea pig and you can actually, like, guide so many women who, for sure, are, I said, someone on the podcast, she's like, I'm a bird launcher. I'm not an empty nester. Like, I want I like, I launched some birds. And she's, you know, but you can take the.Wendy Valentine 18:24 That's what I did. I was like, shoo, shoo. Get out. Lesley Logan 19:05 Yeah, get out of the nest. It's mine now. But like, I think that there's a ton of people who work, not given the opportunity or encouraged when they were moms and wives and partners to be selfish and do their thing like I do believe that there's a ton of women who did and so, so if you're listening, yay for you, but I think a lot of people were not, and they had to wait, and then they waited, and then they're like, well, I don't even know who I am, and everyone says to be authentic. And so I feel like you asked to be you to help people so you're right and then you have this amazing podcast, which, I got to be honest, is amazing. And it's like, but it's mid it's called Midlife Makeover. Correct? Wendy Valentine 19:51 Yep, The Midlife Makeover Show.Lesley Logan 19:53 Yes. Okay, so let's talk about like, do you feel like you do what you do? Do you feel like you'll ever run out of topics to talk about when it comes to midlife? Like, what are you and then, and then also turn it into a book. So let's go into, like, how you've, like, really made this whole thing happen.Wendy Valentine 20:10 You know, what I love about my niche is that there's so much going on in midlife. I mean, like, if I had to talk about one topic every day, oh, my God, I could not stand it. I mean, yesterday I interviewed a lady where, like, it was about grief. She lost her daughter. Daughter was 17 years old when she died. The day before, I got to talk about hormones and menopause, and then the day before that, I got to talk about divorce, like there's so, because there is so much going on. And I love, I love being the catalyst to help other people make their dreams come true. I love that I can provide that hope, whether it's with me or with a guest, or whether it's just simply, I mean, right, the best way we can teach others is by example. Like I don't, I don't fluff anything like you, what you see is what you get. Like, I didn't just say I did it or say that I'm gonna do it. Like, here you go, you know. And you know, I, what was I going to tell you? Oh, I did create the acronym for you. I have four little lessons to teach you today.Lesley Logan 21:16 Do you want to teach us now or do you want to put in the Be It Action Items?Wendy Valentine 21:20 I'm gonna teach it to you really quick. Lesley Logan 21:21 Okay, let's do it. Wendy Valentine 21:22 It's, it's the Be It, right? And this is what I just told you, that story, these are four little guide posts that you can follow so that you, too, can actually, no matter if it's a little tweak in your life or a big tweak, a big change, you can make it happen. So the B in Be It is become your own BFF like you have got to be so nice to yourself, and you have got to listen to that ticker tape of thoughts running across in your mind. And you've got to stop that ticker tape of thoughts and replace it with some really good, friendly thoughts. Because this right here, I'm pointing to my head with my large head of hair, this will either be your best friend or your worst critic, and you are the one that decides, not Instagram, not your mom, not your dad, not your partner, not your kids, it's you like that is the one thing that you have, not one, but one of the many things you have control over. And actually starting there, it's a ripple effect of everything else in your life. If you can get that under control, and yes, you can, you change your thoughts, you change your beliefs. We've all heard it before, but do we really apply it and really try it? So, yes, become your own BFF, just love the shit out of yourself. The E is envision. You've got to envision who you want to become, not the what it's great to, to, like, dream about things and RVs and (inaudible) right, but who do you want to become? Journal about it. Think about it. Take a walk and just imagine the woman that you would want to become and without limitation, right? The I is invite her in. You have got to literally, every single day, and this is exactly what I did, because my Aunt Annie said to me, when I was like in the down, down in the dumps, in depression, and I'm sitting on the couch when she goes, darling, you have always wanted to be an actress, so why don't you just start acting like the woman you want to become? And I was like, oh, I can do that. And I thought about that, right? Like we're all we're all brainwashed. We're all brainwashed into whoever we are, but we can brainwash ourselves into becoming whoever the hell we want to be. Lesley Logan 23:39 Yes, yes. Wendy Valentine 23:41 Yep. So I did. I was like, you know what? How, like you, imagine a drone flying over your head and observing you all day long. How is this woman, this powerful, amazing, gorgeous woman? How does she walk? How does she walk into a room? How does she talk? How does she eat? How does she sleep? How does she, what did she do when she first gets out of bed? Like, is she like, oh my god, I think I'm so grateful I'm alive. Thank you. Thank you. Observe her like and and be her like, literally when you put your shoes on, you put your slippers on or whatever, imagine that those are her shoes and that, and literally act like her, even if someone else is like, why she acting so funny? Just keep doing it.Wendy Valentine 24:26 Yeah, no. I mean, let them, let them wonder why you're acting so funny. Wendy Valentine 24:27 Yes, yes, exactly. Lesley Logan 24:28 They'll just wonder. They get to wonder. And if you want to go talk about it to people like, I thank God for my time in L.A., where I learned, like, all publicity is good. Like, there's no such thing as bad, you know. Let them talk on how weird you are.Wendy Valentine 24:45 (inaudible) Yeah. Finally, T is take action. I think you even say that in your intro about taking action, right? You have to, like, how do you get courage? By taking action. Like if you, if you had a jar, an empty jar, and I have an empty jar, how do you fill up your jar of courage? And how do I fill up mine? We each have to do that on our own. I cannot hand courage. It would be great, right? If like, here, here you go, Lesley, let me give you some courage. You have to do that your own. And you do that by taking action, even if you fall on your face, even if you fall on your face. I didn't know how to even drive an RV. I was like, oh my god. So you figure shit out, right? Like, leap of the net will appear. Like, leap you will figure this stuff out. And that's how you become so resilient and strong. And then it's the tiniest of things I don't know about you, it's like the tiniest of little accomplishments. You're like, that's right. I did that. Like, that's right. I just actually figured out how to dump the dumper on the survey (inaudible) things. I'm like, I did that. (inaudible) So don't forget to celebrate yourself.Lesley Logan 25:53 I believe, all of a sudden, I think like, that is where confidence comes in. Like, people think like confidence comes like, you have to wait for you, once you're confident, then you can do the thing. It's like, no, actually, you get confident by doing the thing. Like, I remember we bought our van, which is not even as big as an RV, we don't need a special license for it. It actually fits in parking spaces. I mean, it's the it's the longest and the tallest of the vehicles that you don't need another license for. And the first time we took it on we took we drove it. I had no problems driving out of the gas station. I had no problems. Like, once we were like, pointing the right direction, like, I'm like, I got this. But one time we were needing to go, and Brad was asleep, and I'm like, I have to hit reverse. There's no rear view mirror. Like, I gotta do this with this tall vehicle. I'm super long. I got a white like, I and it has a camera. It's like, just follow the camera. I'm like, I can't even it's like, this big, just the camera? What, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I hope it beeps. If someone's wrong, I like, what if there's a pole, you know, like one of the, so I like, literally, get out of the car, got out of the car and I do a walk around. I'm like, okay, there's no poles. So the worst thing that happens is that someone or something drives behind me while I'm doing this, and it's supposed to beep, and I'm gonna trust that, and now I come back anytime I want, like, but you I had to, I could not, Brad's telling me you can do this. Like you used to drive jeeps, like, you know what you're doing. Like, he's like, you can none of that confidence and courage being told at me helped me get the confidence, like actually reversing the car and doing it myself.Wendy Valentine 27:32 And sometimes it's the tiniest of things that just gives you a little boost.

You can listen. You can also watch the Be It Pod, you guys, we're on YouTube as well. You know, it's, I know, it's this fun thing. You do this thing for audio, and then people want the visual. So you we gotta do it all. Wendy Valentine 32:01 Give them the visual. Give them the visual. Lesley Logan 32:01 Okay, I love your acronym. So if you want that to be your Be It Action Item, we can replay that, that is totally fine. But if there's anything else we have to give these women that helps them ditch perfection, take that messy action, what bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted steps should they take, what else?Wendy Valentine 32:23 I would have to say, this is, I'm adopting this from Deepak Chopra, because I used to go to a lot of his retreats. And there was one thing he said to me, it's in his cute little accent, and he goes, you have to feel your way through life. I was like, what does that mean? I was like, feel my way through life, and we're so used to thinking everything through and probably overthinking, right? But ask yourself, no matter what it is that you're doing or thinking about doing, how does it feel to you? And most importantly, how does it feel to this new person, this new woman that you are creating in your life. How will it feel? Does that align with her? Does she like that? Does she not like it? And just enjoy. I mean, this, you get this tiny little we're like little blip of time on eternity in eternity, right? Like, just live it up in this little space and print in these parentheses. Just live it up and enjoy and stop overthinking. Just feel your way through life. Lesley Logan 33:25 I love that. And I actually really love him. He, I listened to him, remember, Oprah would actually release like, interviews on her like, podcast channel? And I listened to him talk about this time when he would go be a monk, right? Like his like, you know, go for like, I don't know, 30 days or something like that. And he the monk, his like, monk guide, was like, Oh, how was it walking through the jungle? And he's like, well, it hurt my feet. You know, it hurt my feet. And he and the guy goes, oh, well, when your foot is not on the ground, does it hurt? And he goes, No, I don't think so. He's like, well, then think about the other foot, right? Anyways, my husband is gonna love it. I have remembered that. Out of everything he said, I have remembered that so much because whenever my husband's like, oh, my knee hurts, I'm like, maybe you should think about your other knee. And I'm sure he's like.Wendy Valentine 33:26 Yeah or yeah, my arm hurts when I move it, like this, well stop moving it. Lesley Logan 33:35 What is your other arm, like, he like, heard something and I like, hit the other arm, and he's like, what are you do doing? I'm like, distracting you. It's from Dee it's from Deepak, fill the other one.Wendy Valentine 34:29 Refocusing, refocusing. You know? Lesley Logan 34:31 But I do agree. I think, like, you know, I know, I know the listeners, and I one of the reasons I want to have you on the show after I met you, is like, I know the women here will love listening to you, because we all came from this like time of overdoing overthinking. Have to map it all out. Has to has to feel like the right time, but not feel because we're not listening to our feelings, we're thinking our feelings and and so thank you for that. Be it actually, because I think we. Actually have to get into the feeling more, the actual feeling more, not the brain thinking feeling more. Wendy Valentine 35:04 Yeah, exactly. And especially since RVing, like, I'm on the no plan, plan like I don't. I used to plan everything in detail, and if I did not have that plan in place, I would not make a move. Now I'm like, I mean, 90 days is probably as much as I can plan, even though I like to dream and envision and things like that. Planning out too much does not leave room for miracles and spontaneity and the fun stuff. So don't forget to have fun and just enjoy, yeah.Lesley Logan 35:31 Yeah. Uh, I adore you. We'll have to run in, we'll run into each other someday, because I also love to get to we're gonna, we're gonna head down on our Summer Tour into Arizona, so maybe if you're still there, you know it's it's a little more than 90 days.

In the early morning hours of July 9, 1993, police in Sedona, Arizona received a dispatch call from 911 regarding a domestic violence related shooting at a home on Coffee Pot Drive. When they arrived at the home, officers found thirty-one-year-old Russell Peterson performing CPR on his longtime girlfriend, Stephanie Wasilishin, who was lying on the floor of the couple's bedroom with a large hole in her neck from a .44 caliber bullet. Also present in the bedroom was the couple's four-year-old daughter.At first, Peterson told investigators that Stephanie had fired the gun at him in the living room, then retreated to the bedroom, where the two struggled over the gun, during which Stephanie was shot. Later, however, Peterson changed his story, telling detectives he couldn't remember what happened, but he thought Stephanie shot herself. Further complicating matters was the couple's daughter, who told detectives “Papa killed her.”For decades, the Wasilishin family has sought justice for Stephanie, but that justice and the answers to their questions have remained elusive. With the passage of time, is it possible for investigators to close the case on Stephanie Wasilishin's death, or has too much time passed for a resolution to present itself?Looking to sign the petition?
