Jennifer O’Neill is a graduate of The Institute for Integrative Nutrition and is on a mission to help women free their bodies from the pain of dieting and negative body image, and lead them to a life of freedom, balance, and joy around eating and fitness. She put herself through diet hell for nearly 30 years of her life and knows that it’s simply not worth it. She guides her clients to take action around food, fitness, and body image from an aligned place of love instead of hate. It is only by changing our minds about ourselves that we can then begin to learn that the love we are so desperately seeking is already inside of us. She is also the host of the newly launched podcast, Free Yourself From Body Prison, where she’s created a safe space to discuss body image, binge/emotional eating, weight loss, exercise ad finding the balanced middle ground between diet culture and anti-diet culture. Her primary focus is helping women create a more loving (or accepting) relationship with their body image, food and exercise.
In this episode, Jennifer shares her personal journey to create a healthy relationship with her body, food and exercise. A huge turning point in her journey occurred when she read and studied A Course in Miracles (which also plays a foundational role in everything I teach!) as this is what shifted her relationship to her body, food and exercise from coming from self-hate and judgment to loving and accepting herself. It’s what helped her realize her worthiness did NOT come from how she did or didn’t look. This is a HUGE lesson that so many have yet to learn…mainly because our society does not teach us this. In fact, it teaches the opposite. I’m happy to have Jennifer on the podcast so this message of worthiness reaches more and more people.
We also discuss what diet and anti-diet culture is (I had no idea this was such a polarizing issue, but, with the times we’re in, I’m also not surprised), what body neutrality is (I love anything that helps us see from a more neutral perspective!), how NOT to give away our power to “the scale” and how to dig deep into understanding why we self-sabotage, binge and emotionally eat (truly understanding the root of our emotions so our core beliefs about ourself can be healed).
Ultimately, this is a message of empowering others to find what works for them without being swayed by all the noise that comes from the various camps of what one should or shouldn’t do when it comes to diet, exercise and healthily relating to our bodies.
Jennifer offers one-on-one coaching to help you heal your relationship with your body, food and exercise. She’s also in the process of creating courses to support you in this process. Check out her website for more information. You can also follow her on Instagram @luminouswellnesswithjennifer.

I’m excited to announce that we have our first returning guest, Jessicka Herman! In Jessicka’s first interview, Balancing Love & Wisdom, we primarily focused on her personal spiritual journey as well as how she came to channel a group entity known as Vagrein. This time we’re talking about the powerful information that came through Vagrein that has now been beautifully organized in their book, Vagrein: Seeking Ends When Sharing Begins (available on Amazon).
This book is a masterclass on unity consciousness (balanced love and wisdom) with relevance to wherever you are on your individual journey of awakening. Whether mastering unity consciousness is your intention or goal for your life or not, this book powerfully shifts our perspective on all major topics that each of us deal with in our daily life, which is where I focused our interview.
In this interview, we go into the parent-child relationship, the romantic relationship (including how attraction works as well as it’s purpose on our soul journey to know ourself more fully), our relationship with money and the overhaul that our financial system is undergoing through the collective awakening, our relationship to our body (specifically how chronic ailments and health challenges are serving as a learning tool to turn us inward), how to properly understand and use our emotions to better align with our true nature, understanding our own inner power to co-create our lives through intention as well as how humans are increasing the speed with which we can learn and process information.
When we’re able to frame all of the above within the context of moving toward unity consciousness, we begin to understand the inner workings of our relationship to life itself. And in doing so, we’re able to use our new understanding to quickly resolve all the ways we’ve been living out of alignment with higher truths about ourselves. This always leads to greater inner peace, fulfillment and joy.
I see this information as the instruction manual for understanding life, where, for centuries, it has only been available in spiritual texts focused on the higher path. We’re living in a time of great awakening, where this information is finally being delivered to the masses. I hope you’ll join us in conversation where this much needed information is finding it’s way into the world in a much more widespread manner.

Jordan Simmons is a shining example of being a light in the world despite personal tragedy. I don’t think this choice between following the expression of light or falling into darkness can be more challenging than when we’re faced with life’s injustices. For Jordan, this has come in three different forms of loss all within a very short timeframe. Some people lose the rest of their own lives over the loss of another. Fortunately, Jordan found the inner strength (aided by her father’s advice and a simultaneous promise she made to him) to move forward in a way that has allowed a greater vibrancy and vitality to be lived and expressed through her being. Today, she knows she’s not only here to survive, but to thrive. She knows she’s here to make a huge impact on the planet and has dedicated her life to being an agent of change in the ways she feels led.
I want to thank Jordan for being willing to graciously share her story with all of us. It’s not easy to talk about the traumas we’ve been through but she has courageously chosen to do so as a way of helping others process pain and inspire them to live from light.

Benita is a former professional ballet dancer, a former personal trainer and an advertising industry expert with 20 years of experience supporting and guiding the careers of creative people.

She has designed a unique and radically loved life with her husband and son and is thrilled to share the approach with others.
In this episode, we talk about how intuition has played a significant role in guiding her in and out of each phase of her life starting with moving to NYC at 17 to pursue ballet. She also shares her journey to sobriety and how it doesn’t always look like a traditional rock bottom moment as each person’s threshold for change depends on their desire for it, which, in fact, applies to anyone’s desire to create change on any level in their life. Overall, we talk about the various phases of her spiritual journey and how it’s deepened over time to create her full alignment with a life lived in service to others. This is a beautiful story-based conversation chock full of spiritual lessons and insights meant to help others normalize similar lessons in their own journey.

In this episode, Shanna speaks with long time friend and partner on the personal growth path, Ricardo Flores-Clar. Ricardo grew up in El Salvador, and in the 11th grade, decided to learn English so he could pursue his higher education stateside (specifically at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, TX). He has spent his career in business, often working in leadership roles for companies like Sony and The Scooter Store. No matter where he has worked, he’s always connected his role to a higher purpose, whether through the company’s mission or his personal mission to lift others up. He is the embodiment of a heart-centered, servant leader always recognizing his role in connecting his team to a mission greater than themselves, while simultaneously developing and revealing an individual’s highest potential.
Even though faith, family and community have always played a dominant role in his life, a 10 day spiritual immersion retreat in Bali, in 2010, revealed another layer of his personal purpose: creating a movement called Profoundly Free. In witnessing a prevalence of “not enoughness” in our culture, Profoundly Free aims to heal this sense of lack.
Join Ricardo and Shanna as Ricardo shares the various elements of what must be moved through and shed in order to step into the personal freedom of truly feeling “Profoundly Free”.

We have an inspiring episode this week with Crystal Harris, one of my oldest and dearest friends! Who can't use an extra dose of inspiration during these unusual times?!
Crystal and I met when we were 15. I really don’t remember a ramp up time to our friendship. I have a vague memory of meeting and then I have consistent memories over the past 25 years that include her.
Memories ranging from hanging out at each others house in high school to being her “fourth roommate in college” to actually living together in our early 20s to spending most of our 20s and early 30s single and carefree to sharing a recent FaceTime cocktail hour during this pandemic!
But one memory I’ll never forget is receiving a call from a friend of hers on December 21, 2012 saying she’d been in an accident. My heart dropped and my mind raced as I waited to hear what had happened. “She’s going to be okay. She’s at the hospital” her friend said. Well that quelled the worst of my fears but she was in no way out of the woods. She spent the next three weeks in a burn care unit at SAMC (San Antonio Medical Center) recovering from third degree burns and skin graft surgery after falling backwards into a fire pit (she shares the full story in our interview).
What most impressed me about her recovery was her ability to move through the emotional journey with grace. When things of this magnitude occur, some people emotionally crumble never to come out of that negative space. Others temporarily crumble before finding the strength to move through. Crystal never crumbled. She never fell into despair or depression over what occurred and the scars it left. She’s not once let this stop her from living her best life (and two of the best things in her life were yet to come when this accident occurred).
Crystal has always been a bright light in the world but the fact she moved through her accident with such grace puts her in another category of shining lights…those who continue to shine, despite what life throws at them.
Her story inspires us to minimize the trivial and to focus on the good in our life.
It reminds us of the choice to move through our challenges with grace and gratitude, instead of resistance and frustration.
It reminds us of our deeper soul nature, the place where qualities like grace, acceptance and love lives in us.
All of which is extremely relevant to the current pandemic we're collectively experiencing.
Join us in this powerful episode on moving through the unexpected with grace.

Hemma Haridin is a Healer and Entrepreneur. She is the author of From Homeless to Healer: A Journey through Entrepreneurship, Awakening and Merging with my Higher Self. In her healing practice, she specializes in removing energetic blocks that are keeping people from launching their Start-up or Creative Venture. Her purpose is to show others how to access their divine power as a Creator in order to experience the life they truly deserve using their Soul's Unique Blueprint. She's the Founder of the Ascended Entrepreneur Mastery School, an online Spiritual and Business Incubator for Awakened Entrepreneurs, which shows people how to bridge the gap between their spiritual practice and their business so they can change the planet and upgrade our civilization.

Hemma is one of the rare souls who is coming from a place that has transcended personal desire. So much can be learned by understanding the energy she's coming from in the actions she takes in the world. It's quite counter to the fearful place most are accustomed to acting from. We go into understanding this state and more in our interview.
