Guest: PAOLINA MILANA; and Musical Guest: LAUREN LOGRASSO

PAOLINA MILANA

Embarking on her latest book, Committed: A Memoir of Madness in The Family (She Writes Press, May 4, 2021), author, speaker, podcaster, and founder of Madness To Magic, Paolina Milana’s mission is to share stories that celebrate the triumph of the human spirit: To unleash the power that lies within each of us to bring about change for the better. 

Milana’s professional background is rooted in journalism where as a features writer for a major daily newspaper in the Midwest, she told the stories of other people. Then she moved to the field of PR/media and digital marketing as an executive in both corporate and non-profit environments. Given her experience in an emotionally tumultuous household where she was put in the position of caregiver to unstable family members, she is uniquely qualified to serve as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for children in foster care and as an empowerment and resiliency coach, using storytelling to help people reimagine their lives, write their next chapters, and become the heroes of their own journeys. 

Paolina has won awards for her writing, including her first book, The S Word, which received the National Indie Excellence Award. Her self-help picture book for adults, Seriously! Are We There Yet?!, and her holiday fiction novel, Miracle on Mall Drive both published in late 2020. Paolina is first-generation Sicilian, married, and lives on the edge of the Angeles National Forest in Southern California.

PRAISE FOR COMMITTED:

“COMMITTED is a must-read for anyone struggling with mental illness…This raw memoir brings to light the reality of madness — both in terms of what may surround us and that which may lurk within us.” – Samantha Dunn, author of Failing Paris and Not By Accident

“Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review. This book easily earns all the stars! It’s probably one of the best books on mental illness that I have ever read. Paolina Milana tells her story of having a mother, then later a sister, with paranoid schizophrenia with such honesty and passion. The toll that being a caregiver has on her is completely understandable and she shows real courage. I highly recommend this book!” ~ Librarian

“A modern-day ‘Girl, Interrupted’ but with family. Paolina Milana is an incredible writer and is very brave for sharing her story with us. Mental illness is still seen as taboo and she is breaking down what happens when we are taught to keep it all in the family and never air dirty laundry.”  5 out of 5 stars ~ NetGalley

“Life Skills That Have a Measurable, Positive Impact,” with Guest, Economist, Sociologist, Founder of Core IQ, and Author of Post-Traumatic Thriving, Dr. Randall Bell, and Musical Guest, Violist and Jazz Vocalist, Karolina Naziemiec aka KaroliNa on The LIFE CHANGES Show #630

Guest: DR. RANDALL BELL; and Musical Guest: KAROLINA NAZIEMIEC

DR. RANDALL BELL

Dr. Bell is the founder of Core IQ. As an economist and sociologist, his research has taken him to 50 states and seven continents. His cases include the World Trade Center, the Flight 93 Crash Site, the BP Oil Spill, Hurricane Katrina, the Nuclear Testing on the Bikini Atoll, and tragedies such as Jon Benet Ramsey, OJ Simpson, and the Heaven’s Gate mass suicide mansion.

The media often calls Dr. Bell the “Master of Disaster.” This experience has given him unprecedented access and insights into the cycle of disaster, recovery, and prosperity. He is known for his ability to analyze complex situations and present his findings in an interesting, organized, and intelligent way. Dr. Bell’s work has generated billions of dollars for his clients.

In Dr. Bell’s own words:

Having researched over 1,000 damage cases around the world, I can say that the world is a tough place. I’m in a pretty good position to “tell it as it is,” however I rather focus on “telling it as it can be.”

I imagine a world where everyone has full access to the life skills we all need but are not always taught in school. I see a world where everyone has access to the skills of goal setting, time management, conflict resolution, leadership, personal finance, etiquette, stress reduction, and much more. I’m convinced that these skills could have prevented some of the disasters I have seen. More importantly, they provide the foundation for people to not just survive but thrive.

The problem is that historically training for these skills has been limited to executives and the super-elite. However, everyone needs them. I founded Core IQ as a non-profit, educational foundation with the goal of providing these essential life skills to all, and never at any charge.

With Core IQ, I see a place where people can get authentic insights from top experts on life skills that have a measurable, positive impact. Our team is committed to continually researching new topics, producing more episodes, and working to increase the Core IQ of the world.

All we ask is for your feedback on how to improve, and to help spread the word.

“Modern Alchemy to Unlock Infinite Abundance,” with Guest, Entrepreneur, Thought Leader, Author, and Podcast Host, Brandon Beachum; and Musical Guest, Award Winning Harpist / Recording Artist, Peter Sterling, on The LIFE CHANGES Show #629

Guest: BRANDON BEACHUM; and Musical Guest: PETER STERLING

BRANDON BEACHUM

Brandon Beachum is a podcaster, entrepreneur, author, philosopher and truth-seeker. He originally made his way to California from the East Coast when his former band received a development deal with Elektra records back in 2001. Brandon has been a serial entrepreneur since childhood, and in 2010 while living on a friend’s couch, he founded his first significantly successful company, ResortShare. In August of 2015, ResortShare was named the 569th fastest growing private company in America in the annual Inc. fastest growing companies list.

Since discussing and continually exploring what he refers to as “the ultimate nature of reality” is something he is passionate about and feels called to do, he decided that launching a podcast would be the best avenue to pursue his calling, and to help bring this increasingly popular topic of conversation to a broader audience.

So in May 2015 he launched The Positive Head Podcast. The show’s aim is to help listeners consistently maintain an elevated vibration. In an effort to help the listeners achieve that aim, every

Wednesday, he interviews a different author, director, artist, blogger, scientist, entrepreneur or other notable personality who is out there making a positive impact on the world. He’s had the privilege to interview some amazing and highly-respected guests such as Dr. Eben Alexander, Charles Eisenstein, Marian Goodell, Kevin Kelly, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Nassim Haramein, and Sahara Rose. On the other four weekdays, Brandon and his co-host openly share about how they incorporate these spiritual concepts into their day to day lives, give interpretations of their favorite quotes, take questions from the audience, and dig into any other mind- expansive topics that they feel will help keep the listeners’ souls fed on a regular basis. The Positive Head Podcast has steadily grown over the years and has consistently been recognized in the top five podcasts under the “Spirituality” category on Apple Podcasts and currently has over 15M downloads.

In July 2019 Brandon began stewarding a communal property in Venice, CA called The Mystic Manor, where, up until COVID, he regularly hosted weekly retreats and also began filming Positive Head’s evolution on a new late-night style, consciousness-elevating variety show Optimystic which consists of soul-share interviews, visionary artists live painting, musical performances, and fan co-creation, all recorded in front of a live audience.

In an effort to continue to help others to shift their perspectives to innerstand the “ultimate nature of reality” and create more of what they want to see in the world, Brandon released his first book in January 2021, The Golden Key: Modern Alchemy to Unlock Infinite Abundance. In it, Brandon shares the 8 keys of abundance, which he has unlocked over 25 years of experience and deep exploration. He is gifting these keys to the world via the audio or ebook to help others unlock their own divine potential.

Brandon is also a Co-Founder of a new discount travel platform that is powered by Priceline called HelloVacay which will be launched in the Summer of 2021.

“Social VR – The Next Generation of Co-Creation,” with Guest, Media Shaman and VR Evangelist, Michael Newton; and Musical Guest, Singer-Songwriter of Devotional Music, Kirtan Wallah, Multi-Instrumentalist, Jens Jarvie on The LIFE CHANGES Show #628

Guest: MICHAEL NEWTON; and Musical Guest: JENS JARVIE

MICHAEL NEWTON

Born in Yorkshire, grew up in South Wales. I loved music from an early age, and I learned many instruments while playing drums in a punk band. I was accepted into College at 16 years old to study music and electronics.

I graduated 1980 during the beginnings of electronics and computers in music.I had an exciting career commuting between LA and London. So I started out an early adopter of tech when a revolution was happening. I met my wife in San Diego. We had a great life. My wife suffered with depression that became worse, so we relocated to the rural Midwest to be closer to her Mom and sister. I got a regular job in IT, so I could be a better caregiver. Several years passed, and I suffered a stroke. Shortly thereafter, my wife’s sister and mother died accidentally. This was all too much for my wife’s mental state so she took her own life.. 

This left me 2 dogs and 2 cats stranded in the rural Midwest with no support and less than adequate health facilities or therapists. So I turned to music as my therapy. I first had to figure out my recording systems, and I entered music in step time because my tremors in my right hand made playing impossible. I wanted to document my progress in music and to date have written nearly 1000 tracks on Soundcloud created whilst volunteering for a theatre post production audio and scoring a series of local radio plays. However my reading, writing, and speech needed help. I cussed a lot, which is a normal symptom post stroke, and people say I am blunt. This amount of trauma will do that to a person.

I managed to contact an old friend musician Lightyear in Florida, and via Skype, embarked on a book study every Sunday until my reading and speech improved. I went to therapy groups and was just about to venture into the real world when the pandemic hit.

If I wasn’t isolated before I was now. I had been using a virtual reality headset for exercise and meditation, and although I had worked with 3D modelling software in my career, I still lacked the motor control to build anything in VR. I discovered Social VR and with the help of music industry friends like Lightyear who were dealing with challenges due to COVID 19 persuading them to join me in building worlds in VR. Group therapy and support meetings began to flourish covering all kinds of mental health issues in a tailored space – people say they feel more present  compared to zoom.

 Using social VR i have reconnected with old industry friends and made new ones. The VR community is growing organically with community input. New experiences are being created in media, education and support groups. I have seen theatrical productions conceived, cast and rehearsed in VR gone to comedy clubs talk shows all created by the VR community.

 To this end, I help co host a weekly event virtual discussion of content creation where we help foster the community in our story-based mentorship. Whether you are a seasoned professional, content creator, or just curious, this is the place for you to turn dreams into reality, and it is truly a mind blowing event.

 My life has had its challenges,but I am optimistic about the future. Social VR, I believe, will be the next generation of media,

“Awaken to the Divine Goddess Within and Unconditional Love,” with Guest, Speaker, Coach, Mentor and Spiritual Guide, Eden Amadora: and Musical Guest, Singer, Songwriter, Stella Moon on The LIFE CHANGES Show #625

Guest: EDEN AMADORA; and Musical Guest: STELLA MOON

EDEN AMADORA

Eden Amadora is a speaker, coach, mentor and spiritual guide. She is a featured author in The New Feminine Evolutionary, Sacred Body Wisdom and Divine Reunion. She is an ordained 13 Moon priestess, master facilitator, archetypal channel, a mystic and a muse. 

After 20 years of yogic and shamanic training Eden was led to finding her heart at home in the Divine Feminine mysteries and the 13 Moon Mystery School. She left behind a jet set lifestyle in the music business and a high six figure income as an international model to pursue her soul’s calling. She is now an Ordained Priestess, ecstatic embodiment guide, and an initiator in catalyzing the remembrance of other’s authentic voices and fully embodied expression.

As a ceremonial facilitator, sound healer and prayer-formance artist Eden also enjoys leading sacred song and ritual circles using sound and voice as an alchemical tool for transformation.​

Eden’s greatest joy is in witnessing the life-changing transformations that occur in her ceremonial spaces, offering women an embodied experience of engaging with the archetypes of the Divine Feminine and offering men an initiatory experience of working with the archetypes of the Sacred Masculine. Her elevating programs free her initiates from old patterns that no longer serve like paradigms of competition and comparison and initiate them into a new world of embodied wholeness, cooperation and self-sovereignty. 

Eden serves the great awakening on Earth by uplifting, inspiring and supporting all to return to the center of their own true beauty to fully embrace themselves as nothing less than unique and precious embodiments of the Divine. This is the radiant heart of her successful trainings.

Her clients acknowledge and praise her as, “One of the most extraordinary facilitators in the arenas of archetypal embodiment and sound and movement.” She is highly regarded as a pure and seasoned “presence of transforming love” and raises a uniquely effective call to awaken our authentic selves and sets a high standard for men and women to show up in all of their sacred power and balanced wholeness, fully-embodied and aligned with their heart essence and soul wisdom. 

Eden offers a profoundly safe and sacred space as a spiritual guide on this journey of awakening through the Sun Heart Initiations, the 13 Moon Priestess Initiation Circles, retreats and private and group mentoring for women on the priestess path and men on their journey of soulful mastery.

“Watch What You Eat and Drink, Mindfully,” with Guest, Holistic Nutritionist, Reiki Master, and Intuitive Energy Healer, Scarlett Curtis; and Musical Guest, Singer / Song Writer Riley Silos on The LIFE CHANGES Show #624

Guest: SCARLETT CURTIS; and Musical Guest: RILEY SILOS

SCARLETT CURTIS

My name is Scarlett and I am a Holistic Nutritionist, Reiki Master, and Intuitive Energy Healer. I help people heal and move forward on their path through a combination of energy healing, nutritional guidance and spiritual support.  

My journey into the realm of holistic health and healing started nearly 11 years ago in 2009 when I was searching for ways to heal myself from a number of imbalances including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), adult acne, food allergies, chemical allergies, bulimia, hormonal imbalances, insomnia, chronic depression and anxiety.

Over the years, I experienced fatigue, heart palpitations, hypoglycemia, adrenal burnout, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), chronic yeast infections, constipation, UTIs, Baker’s cysts, viral autoimmune and parasitic infection. It literally felt like I had everything wrong with me.

I also had a lot of built up emotions from growing up in a toxic household. On top of that I was a deeply empathic child, very sensitive to energy and was overwhelmed by the ability to sense the emotions of everyone around me. I felt very alone. I was raised atheist, which made it difficult for me to recognize that I could see, hear, and sense both energy and spirits around me. I thought everybody was like this. I didn’t know I was different. 

Searching for health answers, emotional balance, and self acceptance lead me to discover my passion for holistic nutrition, herbs, meditation, and my gift as an intuitive energy healer, guide and empath. I accepted the fact that I could see and feel energy, and had a deep connection with Spirit. I stopped hiding my gifts. 

​By 2014 I was certified as a Reiki Master Practitioner, Master Clairvoyant Reader and Energy Healer. After years of studying natural healing on my own to heal myself, in 2015 I completed my first certification as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Nutrition Response Testing practitioner with the goal of helping others to heal themselves too. I am also happy to announce that in Spring 2020 I completed a M.S. in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine. 

Today I have the pleasure of working with people of all different ages and walks of life, including both adults and children. Sometimes we are working with the physical body on building health through natural approaches, while other times the sessions stay primarily in the emotional and spiritual realm– cleansing the energy field and nervous system of various past traumas, built up emotions, outdated habits, karma and any negative thought patterns acquired through out the course of our lives and daily interactions.

I also love working with children and teenagers. I always think, “what if I had the coping mechanisms and spiritual tools I have now when I was growing up?”…how much less suffering I might have gone through. This is why it is so important to me to support empathic, sensitive children who are going through periods of sadness, confusion, stress, self hate, anxiety, anger etc. while extending guidance to parents who seek it.  

​My intention is to provide an integrative approach to healing that supports each person mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
