Putting up Episode 4, after a bit of a gap! Honored to have Adam Gohn, Creator of the podcast “Conversations and Higher Vibrations” as a guest on my podcast, Conversations with Friends! Adam starts by discussing the relaxed nature of the podcast and his intention of exploring lived experiences leading to life insights. We talk about Adam's path to spiritual healing and growing awareness, which began online through social media connections and his engagement in spiritual content, plus more. Adam shares his process of giving up alcohol, finding inner peace through therapy and spirituality, and how he started practicing healing sessions. He explains various spiritual practices, emphasizing the power of declarations over traditional prayers, and shares successes from his healing sessions, including a few where he helped his own children. Both Adam and I reflect on the significance of family, authentic connections, the importance of the biofield and balancing the spiritual with everyday life. I share a profound experience with spiritual healing, showcasing the transformative power of belief and intention. (full video: https://youtu.be/Y4dkgUJlD-Q?si=W5pzhxaIPuQUg7lz)

In the first episode of 'Conversations with Friends', host Jill Woodworth sits down with Tonya Matthews to discuss her profound journey as a passionate, big hearted individual who takes seriously the value of every child. While she is a former foster mom, and that is the majority of what we discuss on this episode, Tonya has had a multitude of lived experience, from which she has learned and grown and continues to operate in many realms. She brings this depth into everything she does. In this interview, Tonya shares her experiences caring for children with significant needs, navigating the intricacies and systemic challenges of the foster care system, and the emotional highs and lows of fostering and adopting. The episode dives into topics such as the impact of faith, maintaining relationships with biological parents, and the resilience required in foster parenting and systemic breakdown and compartmentalization that creates challenges that are not necessarily for the good of anyone involved. Tonya operates with much finesse holding this knowing and working against the grain to do what is right and from the heart. This candid and heartfelt conversation highlights the dedication of foster parents and the lasting impact they have on children's lives.
