  • 013: From Fear to Freedom: Dana Croschere's Healing Journey

    Dana Croschere is an award-winning filmmaker and passionate storyteller whose newest documentary, RESCUED HEARTS, is a dream that has been years in the making.

  • 007: Exploring Resilience, Empowerment, & Spiritual Awakening with Anne Bayford

    In this episode, we are joined by Anne Bayford, a holistic, intuitive therapist and psychic medium, to discuss resilience, empowerment, and spiritual awakening. Anne shares her transformative journey from a challenging childhood to discovering her intuitive gifts, including a life-changing near-death experience. She offers insights into the unseen dimensions of existence and the power of intuition in overcoming adversity. Listeners will learn techniques for cultivating joy, mindfulness, and personal growth as Anne emphasizes the importance of trusting in one's inner strength and purpose.

    According to Anne, here are some key ways we can feel more empowered in facing life's challenges:

    1. Believe in your own strength and resilience. Anne emphasized that even through her difficult upbringing and health challenges, she never saw them as punishments, but as opportunities for growth and development. Adopting this mindset can help listeners tap into their inner power.

    2. Take things one step at a time. Rather than getting overwhelmed by the big picture, focus on small, manageable actions you can take each day. Take it "one step at a time."

    3. Look for signs and synchronicities. Pay attention to the subtle messages and guidance the universe may be providing. Developing this awareness can help us feel supported and connected.

    4. Practice gratitude and focus on the positive. Anne shared the importance of reflecting on the small joys and beauties in each day, rather than dwelling on the negative. This can help rewire the brain towards a more empowered mindset.

    5. Believe in your ability to heal and transform. Anne's story demonstrates the power of the mind and body to overcome immense challenges. Trusting in your capacity for growth and change can be deeply empowering.

  • 005: A Spiritual Awakening with Suzanne Giesemann

    Suzanne Giesemann is an author and teacher of awakened living. She has been included on Watkins' list of "100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People." A former U.S. Navy Commander and aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff with a Masters Degree in National Security Affairs, today she shares "21st Century Spirituality," merging the latest scientific understanding about consciousness with ancient spiritual wisdom. Her work provides stunning evidence of our essential interconnectedness. She teaches proven methods that anyone can use to connect with the many levels of our multidimensional reality.

    She has authored 15 books, six best-selling Hemi-Sync recordings, and YouTube videos, reaching millions of viewers. She produces the Daily Way inspirational messages on the Awakened Way app and hosts the top-ranking Messages of Hope podcast. She leads classes, workshops, retreats, and Awakened Way cruises, and serves as faculty with The Shift Network and Humanity's Team.

    Suzanne is known for her joyful, down-to-earth style of making deep spiritual concepts easy to understand. She laces her teaching with evidence-filled stories of the greater reality and practical tools that produce the personal experience of our multidimensional nature. Her connection with those across the veil has been scientifically validated in laboratory settings. Her messages bring hope and healing that go straight to the heart.

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • Practice the "vagus nerve breath" - Breathe in slowly through the nose, count 1, 2, 3, 4, then exhale slowly through the mouth, counting to 6. Those extra two counts put pressure against the rib cage and against the vagus nerve, which triggers the relaxation response in your body.
    • Ask for help/guidance from your guides or loved ones when feeling distressed.
    • Shift your perspective by saying "Isn't that interesting?" when facing a fearful situation. This helps you step back and look at it from a higher, less reactive viewpoint.
    • Read stories of near-death experiences, as they can provide perspective on the greater reality beyond just the physical world.
    • Engage in meditative practices and expand your consciousness to experience the soul's perspective, rather than just identifying with the human experience.
    • Surround yourself with a community of like-minded people who can support you in living from a place of love rather than fear.
