Our Special Guest: Singer/Songwriter John Stringer

John Stringer is a life teacher, speaker, Billboard-charting singer-songwriter, healer, and award-winning International Bestselling author with a passion for music, community, expansion, and limitless love & light. A graduate of Morehouse College, he currently serves as Founder of PolyPlat Records, Partner at Healing Arts Management , Founder of ConsciousSongwriting.com, Partner at ConsciousSongwritingRetreat.com, Co-host of Awakened Pillow Talk podcast, host of The Alignment Podcast, Co-Founder of MasterMomentMakers.com (an intuitive training membership site), and he served as a True Collaboration℠ leader at BandingPeopleTogether.com (clients include leaders at Netflix, Focus Brands, Home Depot, Cisco, Microsoft, NASA, ESPN, SunTrust and many more).

He began receiving direct knowing from Source / Spirit on-demand (aka channeling) with his wife, Kathy Stringer, in 2008, using the practice daily for their own personal guidance and eventually sharing guidance anonymously on a now non-existent website for a few years. When Kathy and John first asked the name of the collective consciousness (or guides) he initially channeled, the simple reply was: “I am Reality and I am Love. Yes. My name is less important than your focus on what I bring.”  Over time, the guides helped him realize how to align with Source so that he channels from his Higher Self / Divine intelligence. John aligns to speak publicly, write music & lyrics; serve others in group, remote & one-on-one channeling sessions; and write content for his websites and books that share the teachings he continues to receive.

John has written and recorded several albums (including a co-written top 10 best-selling Billboard chart hit single with his former rock band, State of Man) and has performed throughout the world (including tours for U.S. Armed Forces). His music has been featured on major network television and he has also appeared in national print ads (Rolling Stone, VIBE, SPIN, Vanity Fair, etc.).

He now travels extensively, speaking and playing at concerts, colleges/universities, workshops, spiritual centers, churches, conferences, retreats and festivals while sharing his uplifting and healing music and message through songs from both his debut solo album, “Limitless Love & Light,” which features the 2017 Posi Award-nominated song, “That’s Love;”  and his follow up album, “Moment to Moment;” along with channeled teachings found in his book, The Abundance Vibration: A Guide to Alignment and his most recent award-winning, international bestselling book, the INside effects: How the Body Heals Itself, Volume 2. His music is currently being used for the theme songs at the Canadian Institute for Natural Integrative Medicine, Life University, the City of Hapeville, Special Needs Certified, Orlando Pranic Healing Centers and other wonderful organizations spreading love in their own way.

Between enjoying his wonderful wife and children in Atlanta, GA, John continues sharing his life and following where Source leads.

Life’s Goal: To be Limitless Love & Light from Moment to Moment

Our Special Guest: Coach Kathryn Dixon. This is a REBROADCAST from March 2025

Before The Work of Byron Katie®, my life was an endless search for truth, understanding and love. Since the spring of 1997 when I attended an afternoon workshop in Salt Lake City with Katie, my life has been an endless discovery of truth, understanding and love.

Problems – big and small truly melt in the liberating light of self-inquiry. If I want to know the truth, these questions deliver without fail.

I founded Clarity Coaching Institute in 2003 to offer this amazing process to anyone it might serve, and it is purely and simply one of my heart’s greatest joys to do so.

Our Special Guest: Author Christie Walker Bos

My Inspiration
My novels are about everyday people.

My inspiration comes from friends, family, my pets. travel, and new experiences.

My History
I've been writing since I was seven years old, and since I'm in my sixties, that's a very long time, indeed.

Freelance writing for magazines and newspapers transitioned into a job as an editor, and then finally my foray into fiction, which I absolutely love.

When writing non-fiction, I have to quote people and report on actual events and stick to the facts.

When writing fiction, I drop my characters into situations and make them say and do whatever I want. Being a bit of a control freak, this is the ultimate rush.

My Dream
Someday, somehow, I'd love to see one of my romantic comedies turned into a movie. Hey, it could happen.

If you love my stories, and you know someone who can make my dream come true, let them know about my books.

But don't wait too long, though.

I'm no spring chicken.

Join Dr. Ali Benjamin as she creates conversations with soul-centered people who channel their attention, energy, and resources into supporting others and helping the world come together in love.

This week Ali is joined by Sheila and Marcus Gillette

Sheila Gillette is a direct voice medium for THEO, best-selling author, speaker and spiritual teacher.

A near-death experience in 1969 marked the beginning of Sheila’s psychic experiences, the culmination of which saw her become the channel for 12 archangelic beings collectively known as THEO. While channeling was anything but mainstream at the time, Sheila’s unwavering devotion to spreading the transformational wisdom of THEO has remained steadfast to this day. Since then, hundreds of thousands of people across the globe have received life-changing guidance from THEO via Sheila’s in-person events, online programs, intensive retreats and books.

Through Sheila’s channeling, THEO’s transformational wisdom has been considered a prominent catalyst for the collective awakening and dimensional shift currently occurring. As a channeling pioneer, Sheila both paved the way for, and personally taught, other emerging direct voice mediums to awaken their innate abilities, most notably Esther Hicks, the channel for Abraham.

During this period of grand transformation, Sheila and THEO’s impact and influence on the collective consciousness of the world is undeniable.

This is a rebroadcast from 1/13/2025

Our Special Guest: Singer Ginger Coyle

GINGER is a spiritual activist and beloved singer songwriter to the Philadelphia area & beyond. Her new record “Higher Frequency” explores personal vibrations through the chakras and invites humanity to take responsibility for their contribution to the collective frequency. Immerse yourself in a soulful record that offers introspection, conscious contemplation, positivity and themes of oneness and Universal Love.

In 2025, Ginger is stepping into a new role: motivational musician. Offering keynote concerts that combine the music of Higher Frequency with metaphysical insights, she is bringing her message of empowerment, healing, and unity to retreats, conferences, and educational settings. These transformative events merge the power of live music with the deep teachings of a metaphysical mindset, inviting attendees to reflect, grow, and take responsibility for their role in shaping the world around them. Ginger’s concerts provide not only a musical experience but also an opportunity for introspective thought and conscious engagement, as she empowers others to elevate their own vibrations and create positive change in their lives.

Alongside her work as a motivational musician, Ginger is currently working on a new album of spiritual chants—a project that will further deepen her exploration of healing, energy, and consciousness. These chants, designed to connect listeners with higher states of being, will blend sacred sounds, harmonics, and uplifting vibrations to guide people on a journey of inner peace and spiritual awakening. This new album reflects Ginger’s ongoing commitment to offering music as a tool for personal and collective transformation.

Ginger Coyle identifies as a spiritual activist, using her music and teachings to ignite change on both an individual and societal level. She is deeply committed to raising consciousness and empowering people to step into their own power as co-creators of a more harmonious and loving world. Through her work, she encourages others to use their voices, actions, and thoughts as tools for transformation, not only for themselves but for the collective good.

Drawing from influences like Nina Simone’s raw emotion, Stevie Wonder’s innovation, Tori Amos’s introspective lyricism, and David Bowie’s fearless reinvention, Ginger’s music continues to evolve, blending deep personal reflection with powerful musical arrangements that inspire conscious contemplation. Her artistry is a reflection of her own journey, and with Higher Frequency and her upcoming album of spiritual chants, she invites listeners to explore their own power to shift their thoughts, words, and ultimately, their world.

Now an independent artist with a growing fanbase, Ginger remains committed to her mission: soul music for conscious souls. As she prepares for new releases and performances, her message of healing, unity, and universal love continues to inspire and elevate all who hear it. Ginger’s music is not just a reflection of her own journey—it is a call to action, a reminder that each of us plays a role in the greater frequency of the world.
