— "The first step required to change something is to bring awareness to it. Then we can bring some choice around how we act. There is a lot of unconscious shame around our 'disavowed' Feminine qualities and longing to reconnect to something we often can't even name. By naming 'it', normalizing the experience and understanding that this is part of the heroine's journey, we can start to release that shame and empower ourselves to take action to reclaim our 'full' femininity."

Valeria interviews Nathalie Cordell — She is an accredited transformational coach with an MA in Psychosynthesis leadership and organizational coaching.

After a 20+-year successful career in a global pharmaceutical company, she now runs her own business (Cordell Coaching), as a coach and facilitator.

She is passionate about helping professional women in midlife reclaim their feminine wisdom and power so they can blossom into their full authentic self-expression.

Her thesis, 'The wounded feminine', explores how the imbalance we see in the world reflects our systematic devaluation of feminine qualities and how restoring the balance starts with doing our own inner work.

— What happens if one day, a doctor tells you, " I'm sorry but you have cancer." When you learn you have cancer, you may feel like your life has been turned upside down. It can seem overwhelming at first, but knowing what to expect may help you feel more at ease. Whichever way a person with cancer decides to move forward with their healing is completely valid, whether natural, integrative, or conventional. Through her cancer struggle, Katrina was frustrated and overwhelmed by all the contradictory information while facing the many challenges of finding answers. She didn't know what to eat or who to turn to. Even in comparing sources of weight loss advice, she was presented with pure chaos in discerning what to do for lasting results.

If you've ever been frustrated with symptoms such as joint pain and weight gain that you can't seem to get under control, there are potential root causes you probably have not heard about that may be hijacking your health. It's not your fault. It's just a lack of awareness.

— "We want you to enjoy the contrasting experience, just like you enjoy the contrasting buffet. And we want you to reach the place (and practicing Virtual Reality will help you to gain this confidence) that whenever you're in front of a buffet that has so much that you do like to eat, as well as some that you don't like to eat, you don't feel frustrated that there are things there you don't want to eat. You don't feel compelled to put them on your plate and eat them; you just pick the things that you like. And the Universe of thought is the same way. You can choose from it the things that you like." ~ Ester Hicks 2003

— In the history of mankind, hypnosis has been used for healing purposes for thousands of years. People have long known that their thoughts can influence their bodies' functions and behavior. In most cases, hypnosis has been mistakenly labeled a mystic practice. Using hypnosis, humans can change their beliefs and the commands they have given to their subconscious minds.

For pain management and for the treatment of mental illness, hypnosis was used during World War 2 and the Korean War.

In 1955, the British Medical Association recommended the use of hypnosis during childbirth. Several medical schools and post-graduate programs recommended instruction in hypnosis after the American Medical Association recognized hypnosis as a field of study on Sept. 13, 1958.

Many countries around the world, including the royal family, have used hypnosis during childbirth since the 1950s.

The popularity of hypnosis continues to grow. In neuroscience, cutting edge research shows that hypnosis exists. Hypnosis is becoming increasingly accepted as a technique for improving a wide range of personal aspects in life through change work. The treatment is completely natural and free of drugs.

— Is it possible that you could have prevented your father's death if you had saved him? In spite of the fact that this was what he wanted, wasn't that difficult? "

When we die, how do we want others to remember us? In our final days, how do we want to be treated?

Death is nothing new to Yvonne Caputo. In her early thirties, she was able to name seventeen family members and friends who had passed away. Claude and his son Jimmy, both dead by suicide, her cousin Alan, murdered in Central Park, and her brother Mark, killed in a car accident, were among those who died. Each of these deaths left her with many questions, the most important of which was: Why don't we talk about the end of life before the end of life?

While working in a retirement community, Yvonne learned about the Five Wishes®, a legal document that expresses a person's end-of-life wishes beyond an advance directive. She decided to broach this difficult subject with her dad. What would the outcome of discussing such a dark subject be?

Yvonne Caputo's first book, Flying with Dad, was about her father's experiences in World War II. But this wasn't what readers focused their questions on. Instead, they asked her about how she and her dad talked about what he wanted for his end-of-life experiences, how she walked him through his Five Wishes document and how, when the day came, she stopped the paramedics from reviving him.

In Dying with Dad, Yvonne shares the joy she felt when her father died on his terms. And the reason she knew what those terms were was because they had had a heart-to-heart conversation about it before it was too late.

Dying with Dad inspires us to think about meaningful discussions for when we or our loved ones are aging or preparing for death. Discussions about death and grief, but also about crossing the finish line joyfully and triumphantly.

You can have the conversations that matter, before it's too late.

Valeria interviews Yvonne Caputo — She is the author of Flying with Dad: A Daughter. A Father. And the Hidden Gifts in His Stories from WWII and Dying with Dad: Tough Talks for Easier Endings.

Yvonne Caputo is also a psychotherapist, corporate trainer, a consultant, and she has been a teacher and the head of a human resource department in a retirement community. She has a master's degree in education and clinical psychology.

— Through Patti's own personal journey, she has developed a unique approach to helping people regain their mental and physical health. There is a tendency for many of us to take life a little too seriously. Our tendency is to push ourselves too hard, believing that once we gain that new job, buy that bigger house, let go of those extra fifteen pounds, or finally end our physical pain, we will be happy. We all want new things in our lives, but what if we could obtain them by being fully grateful for what we already have?

Patti believes happiness is a choice, rather than a destination. It might even be a behavior. The choices we make each day determine how we feel and behave. Our beautiful human experience includes both moving mountains and resting and recovering one day at a time. Do you dream of having all the health, happiness, and abundance you have always wanted? Would you like to gain more emotional intelligence and gain more control over your life? This episode will inspire you reflect and take action toward your wellness and greatness!

Valeria interviews Patti Norris — She is a Registered Massage Therapist, Certified Life Coach, and Faster EFT Practitioner specializing in the resolution of anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.

Through her own journey with anxiety, depression, and chronic pain along with treating hundreds of patients throughout her career with chronic stress-induced illness, Patti Woodworth-Norris realized the profound impact that stress physiology has on all aspects of health. By rewiring her brain and rebalancing her nervous system, she was able to free herself from anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and many other physical symptoms and stress patterns. She has since helped many clients do the same with diverse health issues, traumas, and self-sabotaging patterns.

Patti is now a firm believer that everyone with a chronic health issue will benefit from neural retraining, and in many cases, it is critical to healing.
