Our podcast series focuses on open discussions and explorations that educate, inspire, enlighten, and support each of us on the quest to actively bring joy forward everyday. Join Shannon Dias, CPC, Ramona Crabtree-Falkner, Stacy Piccolo, Marlisa McLaughlin, and Shannon Brown as we journey together.
Please note that our episodes are marked explicit because we are adults who cover a wide variety of topics and we never know what will come up or how we'll say it. Authenticity abounds. You have been warned.
You can find us online at bringjoyforward.com, and in our private community facebook group, where we provide opportunities to add peace and potential into every day. Our offerings include creative visualizations, yoga nidra, meditation, energy balancing, stress management, grief support, sound immersions, EFT tapping and so much more. Join us on our quest to Bring Joy Forward, see you soon.
