Ignite Your Spark

Yes friends, Meditation is powerful. Now, you all who are listeners, probably know that. But do you practice?  Meditation is key to balance, grounding and gaining the ability to handle what comes in a calm and less agitated manner. It's true....the science says so. 

In this week's episode with Pam Seelig, we talk about how simple it is to meditate (haha, not for some of us). However, Pam navigated her way through Bells palsey years ago, with the practice of meditation. Leading a high stress job in Manhattan, in the financial arena, Pam found herself with her face half paralyzed. Through meditation she was able to discover what was really important to her, and spoiler alert, it wasn't the fast paced life she had been living and leading in  NYC . 

Meditation led her to the practice of yoga, and she eventually opened her own yoga studio. Now she has written a beautiful book, "Threads of Yoga: Themes, Reflections, and Meditations to weave into your practice. The book is great for anyone interested in a yoga practice or anyone who wants to lead a more fulfilled and grounded life.

Pam also teaches meditation via Zoom, since sometimes we need a nudge in the right direction!

I have vowed to renew a "real" meditation practice after speaking with Pam and hearing her calm and inspiring story. I hope she will ignite your spark to meditate as well.

Sparklers....in case you are interested. I threw my hat in the ring for a contest sponsored by New Beauty Magazine. They are looking for someone who is FAB OVER 40. And I declare that I am Fab WAY over 40 as are any of you in that age bracket. So if you think I am, I would appreciate your vote. You do have to be logged into Facebook in order to vote.  I want to make sure to spread the message that you are NEVER too old to follow and pursue a passion. Because when you do so, you will ignite your own SPARK. And then, guess what? You will ignite other people's sparks and then the ripple effect will take place and WOW, we will light the world on fire! (not literally of course).

I aspire to live a SIMPLE life, not as many things, clothes, junk.....but I don't really do it.  My guest today is JoEllen,  and she ignites my spark through her blog and instagram account. 

JoEllen is the traveling minimalist mom on a mission  - That mission is to prove that we can live a simple life without sacrificing beauty and style. I consider her more of a lifestyle guru though.

She and her husband and her 4 children have led a wanderlust lifestyle for the past 5 years. Meaning some of us lust after the lifestyle of world travel and living abroad that they have embraced. And more than that, JoEllen is a force for positivity. She finds joy and shares it every day.

 JoEllen and her family had to downsize when they moved to New Zealand five years ago,  getting rid of the big house, the furniture and all of the possessions we think we need. Then they pared everything down further when they travelled the world for a year. Six people lived out of 4 suitcases. She also learned to home school her children, not an easy task as those of you with kidlets know.

 So let’s get to it shall we and hear about living a simpler life and so much more……here’s JoEllen.

Shine on!

And if you are enjoying my podcasts, I hope you are sharing your light with others. And meanwhile remember to like, comment and share IGNITE YOUR SPARK.....I appreciate you!

You are getting sleepy, very sleepy......when you think of hypnosis, doesn't that image just pop into your mind?  It does for me, someone with a pocket watch swinging in front of your face.  

However, I know that you, my listeners, are well aware that Hypnosis is so much more. In fact in this episode with Hypnotherapist Namrata Dagia, we learn the difference between hypnosis and hypnotherapy. I was not aware ! 

Namrata began her career as a trained Psychologist in India and decided to take a little course in hypnotherapy because it interested her. She loved it and totally saw the value it added for her clients. Fast forward a decade or so, and now Namrata not only works with clients using hypnotherapy and psychology, she also trains others in the modality.

In this episode we learn why people are not always willing to have a hypnotherapy session - fear of the unknown it turns out, and we learn how valuable it is to explore our subconscious. All our solutions to problems such as anxiety, insomnia or those habits we want to get rid of, are inside of us. Namrata helps us release and change our habits through hypnosis.

So if you are interested in changing an unwanted habit, or are just curious about the practice of hypnotherapy, you will enjoy this episode.....you are getting sleepy, very sleepy!

If you are getting sparks ignited and learning something from my podcast, I do hope you will share, comment and like......time to get sparks flying everywhere!

Shine on...

Ok, so math is not my strong suit, BUT I love numerology and what numbers can tell us. Numbers have energy, they carry a frequency and vibration that carry data and information, as I learned from  my guest Dr. Felicia Bender.  We all have many numbers which determine different facets of our life. Felicia tells us how to figure out our life path number (simple math!) and then she shares a little about each number's qualities.

We only go into the Life Path number because that is the number that determines our overarching life purpose (even if it may not always appear so when you listen to the description.) There are many more numbers in our "chart", such as your karmic debt number, your personality number, etc.

Who knew that Pythagoras -  you know the theorem guy - had so much info about the energy of numbers and what they can reveal about our nature, life purpose and lessons we need to learn.

I guarantee everyone will learn a little more about themselves in this episode. Once you determine your number, you will want to listen carefully, stop, pause and rewind, to learn about yourself, your friends and family.

Felicia Bender is The Practical Numerologist  who is devoted to helping people uncover their life's purpose - and so much more - with Numerology.

She is the author of Redesign Your Life: Using Numerology To Create The Wildly Optimal You as well as Master Numbers 11, 22, 33: The Ultimate Guide.

Felicia is the resident numerologist for AstroStyle.com and is featured in many media outlets, including Refinery 29, Women’s Health, elephant journal and more.

Who doesn't want to feel their optimal best?  Haha, trick question because I know you all do.

Food gives us such joy - it nourishes our body, gives us strength and energy and has the power to heal us as well.  However, we may be eating so-called healthy foods that cause inflammation in our bodies, leading to weight gain, aggravation of auto immune diseases, arthritis and more.

My guest today, Lyn-Genet Recitas discovered a ground breaking anti-inflammatory protocol and is the NYT best selling author of The Plan and The Metabolism Plan. She's been featured on many TV shows talking about this breakthrough. - Dr. Oz, NBC, CBS, etc.  and in publications as well.

She has a staff of doctors and nutritionists who have helped hundreds of thousands of people, world wide, reach their best health by finding their chemical responses to food....not by counting calories.

Lyn-Genet is the CEO of her company, a sports nutritionist, NMT, Holistic Health Practitioner and yoga teacher.

We have such a great conversation about how everyone's response to food is different and we need to determine what causes inflammation in our own body in order to get our health in gear!

And if you live in, or near, Manhattan - you lucky person, you can visit her restaurant, Lyn-Genet's Kitchen and get some avocado fries. Ok, she serves more than that of course....

Shine on friends!

OK, well this was so much fun! I love a good story.  As my guest today says, a good story will teach us something and we will be changed after hearing it.

Corey Rosen joins me on the podcast to talk about just that. Corey is a Bay Area celeb, having hosted over 105 live events for The Moth Story Slam in San Francisco and Berkeley. Fun fact - he won the first ever Bay Area Moth Story Slam in 2014.

He is an Emmy award winning writer, an actor and a visual effects editor and now author. He began his career at Lucas Films as a visual effects editor and worked on a few of our favorite films ie: Star Wars and Mission Impossible - Corey has performed with my favorite Improv Theatre center, BATS and has written for Comedy Central, Jim Henson Productions and Lucas Films.  So yea, he's a cool guy and I was honored to have him on my podcast.

If you think you don't have a story, think again. We all have stories and at some point we may be called upon to share them. Whether preparing a toast for a wedding or other celebration, or simply sitting next to someone at a gathering, you may need to share a life snippet. We talk all about that and more in this engaging conversation.

Oh yes we also talk a. bit about Corey's new book. Story, Well Told.

How good are you willing to let it get?

Not only is that an awesome and thought provoking question, it is also the name of my guest's new book and card deck.


Sarah Seidelmann is a 4th generation board certified physician turned shamanic healer, mother of 4, wife, author and life coach.  Feeling unsatisfied in her career as a Surgical Pathologist, she searched for answers as to what was next for her during a sabbatical. Spending time in nature fueled her fire and her creative spirit. Finding inspiration in the art of decoupage and unleashing her creative nature via vintage cards featuring animals, Sarah found her way to the healing practice of Shamanism.  As Sarah wandered through nature, she stumbled into the ancient idea that the wild animals that cross our path might have messages for us. Enter a walrus, an elephant and the inspiration for her six books.

I ask you again, HOW GOOD ARE YOU WILLING TO LET IT GET...tune in and see what you think.

If you are enjoying these podcasts, I invite you to share, comment and rate, so we can help the world, one person at a time, SHINE!

Shine on!
