Sara is a dynamic soul who has lived a few lifetimes in one. She has experienced the heart wrenching pain of her partner leaving in the middle of the night, survived living in the depths of a Brooklyn ghetto and then transformed her existence to live a successful life in Corporate America. Her journey has been vast and colourful. She loves with her whole heart and emphatically holds space for every soul she meets. She has completed a soul searching world tour and has found a home in Bali, Indonesia where she is a Transformational Breathwork Guide and Aura Photographer.

I just met her for the first time this morning, and already, I love her. She is a light, with a heart full of truth and laughter and love. She radiates, and while her story is windy, it's full of blessings and interesting turns. I sat down to chat with Sara about her story, breath work, and aura photography. She's in NYC (at the date of this taping) until the end of 2019. Be sure to grab an appointment and have your aura portrait taken. NYC Aura Photography dates that remain are December 28, 29 and 30!

When I heard about The Brave Heart Center, I knew I needed to know more because if there is one thing that calls me in, it's a brave heart. I loved learning about the center, and all of the offerings, and I brought Dawn Campagnola in to tell me a bit more about the center, specifically sharing about one of her group offerings, The Daring Way™. I was happy to hear she is going to offer the group online, for those who aren't in the area.

Read more about Dawn, in her own words:

When I first met Lisa Levine, it was during my HT4 training at Maha Rose. I said hello, and though our interaction was just minutes, I noticed that she had the brightest eyes and smile. I met her again, just a few days later, while interviewing Breathwork Healer, David Elliott, at Maha Rose North. She kindly invited my son and I to take a walk around the property and check out the dome. So today, on our third meeting, I was excited to finally sit down and talk with her. She is wonderful... a lit up burst of sunshine. It makes perfect sense that she leads The Joy Vibration, amongst other beautiful practices.

I loved chatting and laughing with her. Listen in to hear all the interesting things we spoke about, including how she got started on her incredible path.

Here's a bit more info about Lisa, from the Maha Rose page:

Lisa Levine MS LAc is a licensed acupuncturist, Reiki master, a natural healer and an artist as well as the founder of Maha Rose. The tools she uses are needles and moxa, touch, shiatsu, Reiki, guided visualization, the breath, laughter, and on very full moons - a song.

She wants you to remember who you really are; letting go of everything that isn't serving you and connecting with your more radiant Self. She specializes in mental and emotional disorders as well as trauma and major life changes. She is available for acupuncture, reiki, bodywork and breathwork and group breathwork and laughter sessions. She also offers spiritual business coaching and consulting.

Lisa completed her Reiki Masters with Padma Gonzalez in 2008, her Breathwork Healer Training certificate from David Elliott in 2009 and graduated from Tri-State College of Acupuncture in 2013.

Me and Dave sat and talked about Thanksgiving, our traditions and other related things. I'd write more, but it's early and I'm tired.

After having the opportunity to visit and meet the wolf dogs at Howling Woods Farm, I knew I had to share the story of the farm, the truth about wolves, and ways that we can meet, experience and help these gentle creatures. This is one of my favorite places on earth, and I am so happy to share it with you.

There are so many things to know about wolves and wolf dogs, and all you ever wondered is answered here. We spoke with a staff member named Shannon, and also had the opportunity of spending time with the wolf dogs. You will hear them howling at the end of the recording.

I met Dox at a health food store in Basking Ridge and, as we spoke about food, I knew there was much more to the conversation. I invited him to come talk on the podcast, and am left in complete awe over our conversation. He is the REAL DEAL.

Dox Diggla, aka: Brick Citi Buddha, is the founder of MedEd, a comprehensive health & wellness service based on principles of yoga such as mindfulness, as well as meditative techniques that have a positive effect on all sheaths of the self: emotionally, spiritually, physically, energetically.

Born Jeffrey Gay, Dox was raised in a devout Christian household near one of the most notoriously violent urban areas in the U.S. He was a very inquisitive child with a unique perspective that was often rejected. He was frequently kicked out of Sunday school for asking what was perceived as blasphemous questions and once he realized how uncomfortable his perspective made others, he bottled them up until he began writing poetry as a teenager.

During his adolescent years, people noticed how talented he was as a writer. At the age of 13, he made a name for himself as one of the youngest poets to step food on stage at some of the most well known venues in the tristate area. As he entered young adulthood, he went on to college and had evolved into a very gifted author and speaker, but something was still missing.

He had witnessed God transform the lives of loved ones, notably his own sister, which inspired him to further delve into what his parents had been forcing onto him for the majority of his life. By the age of 19, he was giving full sermons throughout the state and making a name for himself in the realm of preaching, but once he began to uncover contradictions within the Bible’s holy text, he walked away from Christianity and the church. His family turned their back on him, forcing him to embody the role of the ‘black sheep’. Shortly thereafter, he dropped out of school and began pursuing rap and got involved in the streets.

He became addicted to women, alcohol, weed and fast moneystruggling with depression and suicidal thoughts. He was then faced with kidney failure and impaired vision. On the verge of dialysis and, a kidney transplant whilealmost completely blind, he hit rock bottom. His music career was failing, he lost jobs and relationships and was now well on his way to his 2nd suicide attempt. But in the nick of time, a friend of his found him on social media and offered him his online meditation course.

Through meditation, he learned how to process, release and transmute pain into power. Dox threw himself into the practice so deeply, that he was able to heal his kidneys, something the doctors said was impossible. He was also able to reverse complete blindness in his left eye.

He studied this practice to heal himself, but at a retreat he attended, he received orders from Spirit that it was time to share what he had been given. Reluctant but obedient, he started his free “Peace in the Park” community meditations in Newark. His first class had one attendee, but as he continued to honor Spirit’s orders, one evolved into fifty attendees. His class was the now the talk of the community.

As a primarily self-taught yogi, counselor, life coach, public speaker and artist, Dox has developed a keen ability to make esoteric teachings palatable, understandable and plain to his audience. He has helped himself, as well as hundreds of his clients.

Many clients give Dox credit for saving their lives as he was able to open up their minds hearts without intentionally taking on the role of a teacher. His purpose is, and continues to be, simply guiding those who need direction toward discovering the divine teacher within themselves.

I enjoyed chatting with Juliet Patsalos-Fox and hearing her beautiful story, in her own words. She has had quite a life, and comes from a very interesting family. Her desire to create a beautiful experience for everyone who walks through the doors of Ride + Reflect is clearly translated during our conversation. Have a listen.

Ride + Reflect shares:

Juliet Patsalos-Fox, our founder, was born and raised in London. She studied at Oxford and worked as a management consultant before moving to the USA in 1996 with her husband and three children. Throughout her life, Juliet has led an active lifestyle, but after being diagnosed and beginning treatment for colon cancer in 2010 faced an enormous challenge to regain her health. As part of her goal-oriented recovery, she set herself the ambitious target of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. After attending numerous seminars and reading extensively on the topic, Juliet realized that attaining this goal would only be possible by improving her mindfulness in tandem with her purely physical fitness.

Over the following year, Juliet relied heavily on a combination of indoor cycling, yoga and meditation to help get her in shape for the weeklong climb to ~19,000 feet above sea level. In October 2012, Juliet successfully reached the summit and completed her climb, capping off a remarkable recovery from surgery and chemotherapy. After returning from her trip, Juliet was inspired to bring a new concept in fitness to Somerset County. Ride+Reflect was founded to give area residents unique access to classes that would help them develop their fitness and mindfulness, empowering them to better tackle life's challenges.
