Baratta explores hope as a powerful energy and a personal contribution we can make to our world. He also discusses the idea that we can all be healers of a kind - no matter what our work may be. With callers, Baratta talks about the issue of entitlement as a response to fear, dealing with the voices within that hold us back in our chosen work, and reclaiming the imaginative and intuitive self when it has been lost. In the midst of the show, Baratta helps us to participate more actively by sharing the loving energy from our hearts, connecting with every other listener.

Baratta welcomes returning guest Tysa Goodrich for this evening's show devoted to people who have lost loved ones. Baratta and Tysa talk with several callers, with Tysa providing an emotional bridge for communication between them and their loved ones. Baratta also speaks with callers about "clearing the decks" emotionally in preparation for a new job, and healing grief that never seems to end.

Baratta speaks with callers about: moving beyond the fear of making mistakes when the stakes are high; building more trust in ourselves; connecting with the love in what we do; letting go of perfectionism; making the choice to have children or not; experiencing emotional depth as part of “A Luscious Life“; going into the unknown of our lives with a new depth of feeling; self-forgiveness and the freedom that can be found on the other side of it.

In this evening's show Baratta talks with callers on a variety of subjects, including: facing the unknown, with its fear as well as its excitement; detoxifying our physical bodies by clearing ourselves of toxic emotions; grounding ourselves solidly in a new level of success. During the show, Baratta receives a call from a family who has just lost their beloved father and husband. Baratta enlists the help of Tysa Goodrich, a writer and musician who also has the ability to sense those who have crossed over. Together, Tysa and Baratta assist the family in a loving communication with their departed loved one.

Baratta speaks with callers about many aspects of "A Luscious Life": feeling emotions intensely, being adventurous in life with a sense of abandon as well as responsibility; changing our relationship with fear to a positive one; receiving and evaluating personal messages from non-physical sources; the rational mind and its role in the wholeness of self.

In the premiere, Baratta introduces the idea of “A Luscious Life” as an expression of ourselves that is unfettered by convention, habit, or conformity – a richness of truly being ourselves. This evening’s focus is on finding ways to give the full range of our emotional being a home in us - to give ourselves a safe place in our lives to “breathe” emotionally.
