Listeners, we're back this week with Maydelli Mendoza.

Maydelli is the founder of Healing with Self Love and Raw Love by May. She is passionate about healing at all levels, this comes from her own personal struggle with depression after finding out she was undocumented. Her journey to healing came from a variety of places. As she healed at a spiritual, mental, emotional and physical level, she became a Reiki Master and a Soul Synchronicity meditation expert from the Oneness University in India. Maydelli graduated with a B.A. degree in Sociology and she is eager to start her Master Program in Clinical Psychology. With more than ten years experience in the Restaurant Industry, she hopes to revolutionize the way we look at food which is the reason why she started her Vegan Catering company Raw Love by May. Maydelli realized the major role her food choices were playing in the way she felt physically. Once she understood that, she made food one of her healing tools. She wants others to find healing from past childhood traumas, traumatic events thru yoga, meditation, energy healing, good high vibrational foods and finding their way back to self-love. As well as helping other women to live on purpose for their purpose.

Maydelli shares her incredible story with us and we can't wait to hear your thoughts.

Hello listeners, we're back with another rapidín episode and this time I've been dragging sharing it because talking about my spirituality is hard for me. Also, because this podcast is not about that, however, I've been called to share this story and I hope you find it useful.

During this rapidín, we learn about the ancient Hawaiian practice of clearing Hoʻoponopono:
I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you.

I chat about the beautiful voice of Carrie Grossman and I play a bit of her amazing song Thank you. You can find the whole song below and I invite you to sit and meditate while you listen to the words: http://bit.ly/carriegrossmanthankyou

Ah, let me know your thoughts on this episode and always always stay shining!

Ali leads advocacy and public affairs, which includes managing government affairs operations across seven states and in Washington, D.C. Her national advocacy and engagement strategies have successfully advanced federal priorities that preserve and expand access to care for the underserved, positioning PSJH as a leading advocate for mental health, advance care planning, and the Medicaid program.

Ali and I chatted about the services Providence St Joseph Health provides to the community, where can people find them and who can receive services.
