Tess Booker & Bob Vetter

Brilliant Minds & Beautiful Souls |Thriving in Business Grounded in Wellness

In this soul-centered conversation, Bob Vetter shares what 45+ years in traditional Native healing systems has taught him: healing isn’t curing, it’s coming home to yourself.

We talk about:

Sacred reciprocity in the healing journey

How Indigenous traditions see suffering as initiation

Why your story—your pain—is also your path to power

💬 Reflection Questions:

What story from your life has felt like a wound… that might actually hold medicine?

Have you experienced healing without a cure?

How does community support your personal wellness?

🌀 “Healing is not what you think it is—it’s much more.”

This conversation is part of a growing movement to uplift meaningful voices in healing, emotional clarity, and soulful leadership.

🙏 Thank you Bob Vetter for sharing your wisdom with the Brilliant Minds community.

In this episode of Hearing Steps Wellness, Dr. J and Mei dive into how food truly acts as medicine for your body, brain, and long-term health. They unpack why nutrition is the foundation of the six pillars of a healthy lifestyle and why you really can’t outrun a bad diet.

​

You’ll learn:

- What “nutrient-dense” eating means beyond labels like vegan, keto, or plant-based.

​ - How high-fiber, whole-food, plant-based meals help with blood sugar, neuropathy, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation.

​ - Why ultra-processed foods, refined carbs, oils, and excess dairy can drive inflammation, low energy, mood changes, and weight gain.

​ - Easy label-reading tips for sodium and added sugar so you can shop smarter in minutes.

​ - Simple principles: GBOMBS, “eat the rainbow,” and hitting 30 different plant foods a week to nourish your gut microbiome.

​ - Practical habits like spacing meals about 4 hours apart, cutting down on snacking, and slowing down to really chew and enjoy your food.

​

Mei also shares how she brings this message to life with community cooking demos, tasty high-fiber recipes, and a focus on making healthy food colorful, appealing, and fun for the whole family. You’ll hear about the Lotus Health Foundation’s virtual community, cooking events, community garden, produce prescription work, and the Community of Wellness Symposium and Gala.

​

If you’re ready to reduce inflammation, support blood sugar, boost energy, and make healthy eating sustainable (and delicious!), this conversation is for you.

In this inspiring conversation, Denise, The Menopause Mentor, sits down with Lindsay to explore the fascinating intersection of neuroscience, visualization, and AI-powered identity transformation for midlife women. From tech frustrations to future-self breakthroughs, they discuss how visualization tools like AI-generated images can help women reshape limiting beliefs, see new possibilities, and step into who they’re becoming with clarity and confidence.

Lindsay shares her “Future Self Formula” and her experiences meeting the Dalai Lama, while Denise reflects on her own visualization success story, how putting herself on a vision board led to a real-life television opportunity. Together, they reveal how small shifts in mindset, daily habits, and identity can spark profound change.

Tune in to discover how to align your mind, energy, and actions with your future self and start living her life today.

Learning Objectives

- Understand how the brain’s Reticular Activating System (RAS) influences perception, focus, and success.

- Learn how visualization and AI-generated imagery can accelerate identity transformation.

- Discover the “Future You 3x3” practice to act, think, and feel like your future self every day.

Key Takeaways

- Visualization is not wishful thinking—it’s a powerful reprogramming tool that rewires your brain for success.

- Identity shifts must come before behavioral change; you can’t create a new life from an old mindset.

- Small, consistent steps—your stepping stones—create the pathway to your future self’s reality.

Tess Booker & Garret Rhea

Authors Corner: Living Library w/ Tess Booker

In this episode of Authors Corner, host Tess Booker sits down with educator and author Garret Rhea, president of Ninja Science Academy, to explore the intersection of science, storytelling, and emotional awareness.

Garrett shares how his passion for teaching science to children is rooted in helping them experience awe, curiosity, and connection — not just memorize facts. Drawing from over 15 years in elementary education, he explains how hands-on learning, storytelling, and family engagement can transform the way children understand the universe and themselves.

The conversation centers around Garrett’s children’s book, The Story of Circle and Square, a gentle yet powerful story about two shapes who grow apart because of their differences — only to rediscover their shared essence at a deeper level. Together, Tess and Garrett explore how science, intuition, and emotional intelligence can work together to foster holistic learning and meaningful connection in both classrooms and families.

Many professionals feel they “don’t have time” for regular workouts, yet they worry about losing muscle, strength, and energy. This live session with Dr. J explores the concept of “Zero‑Time Fitness” — integrating brief, strength‑supporting movements into your existing day so you can build and maintain muscle without extra gym time.

Using a lifestyle medicine lens, we will look at movement as one of six key health pillars (along with nutrition, sleep, stress management, social connection, and passion/purpose) and discuss how these interact to protect against muscle loss and support long‑term function. You’ll hear practical examples of how to fit movement into workdays and home routines, and why stress, sleep, and community support matter for staying consistent.

This event is part of the broader work of Lotus Health Foundation, which delivers community‑based education through symposiums, cooking demos, brain‑health initiatives, and ongoing monthly gatherings. It is ideal for busy professionals, healthcare colleagues, and community leaders who want realistic, sustainable strategies to stay strong and healthy over time.
