Chezel speaks with raw honesty about the personal experiences that led her to coaching, the role of forgiveness as a tool for liberation rather than condoning harm, and how energy and frequency work alongside traditional coaching to create deeper, more lasting healing.

On this episode of the Journey to Purpose Podcast, Sandra Mossman shares her remarkable journey from Latvia to Los Angeles — from an IT career to astrology, and from social expectations to a life shaped entirely by honest self-discovery and personal responsibility.

Sandra's story spans continents and careers, and the thread running through all of it is the courage to be honest with herself about who she is and what she truly wants. She reflects on the cultural perspectives that travel opened up for her, the challenge of starting a business in a new country, and why keeping certain goals private while you're pursuing them can protect your energy and momentum. Her path from technology to astrology is not as unlikely as it sounds — both, at their best, are tools for understanding patterns and finding meaning.

Sandra's move from Latvia to California — navigating rejection, persistence, and new beginnings
Transitioning from an IT career to astrology as a business and a calling
How social expectations and cultural pressures shape the choices we make — and how to break free
The power of personal responsibility in designing a life that is truly your own
Using travel and cross-cultural experience to broaden your perspective and deepen self-knowledge

On this episode of the Journey to Purpose Podcast, Dr. Mort Orman — a leading expert in anger and stress management — reveals why the emotion we call anger is never really about what we think it's about, and how understanding the hidden filters through which we perceive reality can fundamentally change how we feel and respond.
 
Dr. Orman draws on decades of personal and professional experience to walk through his four-step process for identifying and managing anger, explaining why most people look for the source of their emotions in the wrong places. He makes the compelling case that our perceptions are shaped by invisible filters — and that questioning those filters, rather than reacting to what they show us, is the key to genuine emotional freedom and lasting inner peace.
 
Key Topics
 
Why anger originates internally — not from people or events outside us
The invisible filters that shape how we perceive reality and trigger emotional responses
Dr. Orman's four-step process for identifying and transforming anger
How personal development and self-awareness change the way we relate to our emotions
Practical tools for questioning your perceptions and taking back control of your emotional wellbeing
