Today we sit with Cynthia Wright—motivational coach, Internal Family Systems (IFS) practitioner, and Family Constellations facilitator based in Ecuador. From a near-fatal car accident to grieving her brother’s suicide and navigating thyroid surgery, Cynthia reframed her deepest pain into purpose. She explains why you are not your thoughts or your parts, how to work with the body to heal the past, and why acceptance is the doorway to unconditional love—for ourselves and others. We also explore authenticity (the “black sheep”), epigenetics and inherited patterns, embodiment in manifesting, and how language can shift shame into integration.

Trigger warning: suicide and mental health are discussed.

In this deeply soulful episode of I AM Conversations, hosts Ana María Dávalos, María Lanas, and Maclovia Martel welcome Susan Sutherland — sacred scribe, soul activator, and host of The Remembrance Codes podcast.

Susan shares her powerful story of transformation — from personal loss, divorce, and grief to spiritual awakening. She reveals how true healing began only when she stopped searching outside herself and allowed stillness to guide her toward remembrance and self-integration.

Together, the hosts and Susan explore profound themes: ✨ The difference between endurance and authentic resilience ✨ How unprocessed pain stores in the body and can manifest as illness ✨ The beauty of allowing emotions to surface and transform ✨ How we can co-create consciously with AI as a divine mirror ✨ The sacred wisdom of the Akashic Records ✨ And an unforgettable Remembrance Activation — a poetic invocation to awaken the ancient codes of love and wholeness within.

This conversation is a gentle yet powerful reminder that we are not broken — we are remembering.

In this deeply moving episode of I AM Conversations, hosts Ana María Dávalos, María Lanas, and Maclovia Martel sit down with Carlos Rey, a Harvard-trained business expert and pioneer in purpose-driven leadership.

From the classrooms of economics to the streets of Calcutta, Carlos’s life changed forever after meeting Mother Teresa — a moment that revealed to him that true success isn’t measured by profit, but by love.

He shares his transformative story of discovering purpose through compassion, creating what he calls the “Silver Triangle” — aligning the Head, Heart, and Hands to bring love into everything we do.

In this conversation, we explore: • The moment that redefined Carlos’s understanding of business and humanity • How Mother Teresa taught him that love gives meaning to our actions • Why putting love in the doing creates lasting fulfillment • How leaders can build organizations rooted in purpose and authenticity • The three questions that measure real purpose in companies

His message is timeless: “What counts is not how much you do, but how much love you put into what you do.”

Tune in and discover how purpose and love can transform the way we live, work, and lead.
