About Kristen Himm
Kristen — or “Ms. K,” as many of her students affectionately call her — is a lifelong educator, mom, and founder of ABQ Homeschool Connection. After 17 years teaching in public schools and becoming a parent in 2012, Kristen experienced a powerful shift during the pandemic that led her to reimagine what learning could look like for both her students and her own children. Guided by the belief that kids learn best when they’re free to follow their passions, explore their strengths, and collaborate with others, she stepped away from traditional education to create a space rooted in curiosity, connection, and community. Through ABQ Homeschool Connection, Kristen and her growing team of partner teachers offer classes and experiences that support natural learning — where play, discovery, and real-world engagement drive growth. Her work centers around nurturing a love of learning for children of all ages in a multi-age, collaborative environment that values curiosity over competition. When she’s not building community or facilitating learning experiences, you’ll find Kris spending time with her two daughters, continuing to learn right alongside them.

Episode Summary
In this inspiring episode of Journey to Purpose, host Philippa Bagley sits down with Robert Heath Sr., CEO of Legacy Leadership Consulting Group, Marine Corps veteran, educator, and author of Courageous Communication. Robert shares his personal journey from growing up “hood adjacent” in Chicago to becoming a Marine Corps officer, teacher, lawyer, and leadership consultant. Together, they explore how leaders can define success for themselves, create “brave spaces” for growth, and navigate the tough but transformative conversations that move people forward. Listeners will leave with practical tools, fresh perspectives on influence, and a renewed sense of clarity about their own purpose.

• “Human beings can endure almost any ‘how’ if they have a ‘why’ that’s strong enough.” (quoting Nietzsche)
• “We can’t control other people, but we can influence them. And it starts with how we choose to show up ourselves.”

Episode Summary
In this episode of Journey to Purpose, host Philippa Bagley sits down with Dr. Joy Pedersen, a spiritual healer, coach, and author, to explore the hidden layers of energy, subconscious beliefs, and spiritual practices that shape our lives. Dr. Joy shares her fascinating journey from Hollywood publicity to spiritual healing, explaining how the Law of Attraction, subconscious programming, and past life experiences influence the outcomes we create. Together, they unpack the challenges of letting go, the duality of light and dark, and how forgiveness and alignment with higher consciousness can clear obstacles. Listeners will walk away with practical insights into releasing emotional baggage, embracing change, and creating a path toward greater peace, balance, and abundance. Key Takeaways

• Spiritual healing uncovers subconscious blocks that can prevent the Law of Attraction from working effectively.
• Letting go and forgiveness are essential steps in healing—Source cannot fully help us until we forgive ourselves and others.
• Our subconscious beliefs, past lives, and ancestral trauma all shape present-day experiences; clearing them creates freedom for ourselves and others.
• Duality and balance—between light and dark, masculine and feminine, giving and receiving—are central to personal and collective growth.
• Change begins within; transformation is an “inside job” that requires releasing old patterns and embracing higher awareness.
• Practical tools like meditation allow us to access inner wisdom and shift energy toward alignment and peace.
