It has been one hell of a ride! I am truly grateful to have been able to lend your ear for the last 5 years through my radio show, Love From The Hyp, but the time has come to take pause, and so this will be my farewell broadcast. I created this show after a long and hard fight with Pemphigus Vulgaris, because I finally understood the most important ingredient of healing, and it is self-love. I knew this was something the majority of the world suffers from not having. And so, Love From The Hyp was born, and I chose topics; some heavy, others controversial, alongside amazing guests, who either shared their own inspirational journey to loving themselves, or shared their wisdom to empower you to help yourself, and understand you are not alone.

So let’s come full circle, what began with love will finish will love, as Steamy Contemporary Romance Writer, Christina Braver joins us.

Christina will share how becoming a romance author has allowed her to help others who are stuck still in a purity culture heavily rooted in sexual shame, why she chose to write romance, why romance novels get so much slack, how romance writing has changed in the last 10-20 years, and who the readers are.

Plus she will reveal where she gets her hot and steamy ideas from, and divulge a few writing tips with you!

In addition, Christina will share some juicy details from her latest book of her contemporary romance series, all set here in the PNW, called “Your Turn”. You won’t want to miss this interview, it could get hot and steamy and maybe a little teary-eyed too

It is easy to confuse happiness with joy. Happiness comes as a result of something that we enjoy, like, or find fun. Joy resides deep in our soul always. Happiness comes and goes, but Joy, when you understand and can find it, and place it in your heart, will always be there holding you steadfast and strong even when what is going on around you does not feel happy. 

Joy is a constant. It is not dependent on circumstances or situations. There is no doubt that all want to be happy, yet, if we hold an understanding of joy deep in our heart we will also find happiness more often.

On our final episode of Love From The Hyp presents The Conscious Coaching Hour with us intuitive coaches, Sakura Sutter, Rory Reich, & Jeanette Dames, as we discuss Living In Joy and how to find lasting joy in your heart no matter what is going on around you.

Sense of smell has been more closely linked to memories than any other sense. Behavioral studies have shown that smells trigger emotional memories and are better at inducing the feeling of nostalgia than images themselves. Even the lack of a sense of smell can result in the loss of an important sentimental pathway to memories.

Memories happen to be most stored by smell in our first decade of life, from infancy to 10 years of age.

Smells can bring back forgotten memories. In fact, research has shown, individuals suffering from PTSD, are more prone to smell triggers.

Implicit memories are trauma related reactions like sweating, heart racing, trembling, and other physical and emotional responses. They require no conscious memory of the event to be experienced and are the most accurate memories. So if a smell, which is a surprisingly good one, makes you feel bad for no reason, it’s worth exploring why and recovering the memory, in order to move forward in your life.

On this Encore Edition of Love From The Hyp (originally aired 8/14/19) Lisa Solterbeck, an intuitive Empath and Clinical Social Worker, shares her story of how a smell recovered traumatic memories for her, she not only had no recollection of, but also dug rather deep. Listen in as she takes you through what she uncovered, how it was affecting her life and her work, and how she eventually ended up working through the trauma. Also hear how she recommends others work through their blocks, and uncover traumatic memories, as well as more amazing healing wisdom she has to offer. You won’t want to miss it!

Our police officers and first responders are burnt out and their morale is exceptionally low. Rightfully so, as our nation faces a serious staffing crisis, so much so, they are offering hiring bonuses. Meanwhile crime is at an all time high in big cities, at 134% higher than the national average right here in Seattle, which is only drastically slowing down response times. Gun violence has also increased substantially since 2020. Not to mention, suicide ideation has risen among law enforcement and first responders due to the trauma of the job, and the lack of mental health and wellness support to address it.

Listen as Retired Police Officer & Author, Rodger Ruge returns to share the truth about the situation with our law enforcement, and why nobody wants to take the job. He will also reveal the hidden truths of the job, and divulge what is really being said from the line. Rodger will also emphasize what we, the public, really need to know and consider, and how we can get involved and help our police in turning things around and trying to get ahead of all this heinous crime.

Public Safety Chaplain, Ron Perkins will also offer up his perspective of the job behind the badge and the trauma that comes with it, as well as how he assists law enforcement and firefighters as a Chaplain, and how he deals with his own trauma of the job.
