Today I talk with Justin Imbastari about his near death experience. Justin went into cardiac arrest while surfing in San Onofre California. Nearly drowning Justin was put on his board and pushed into shore where he would collapse. After multiple heart surgeries and a couple miracles, Justin is still with us today and did not suffer any brain damage. His second lease on life is powerful and can teach us all to be more present and loving. Some questions we pondered are God, the Afterlife, NDEs, and how almost dying changes your perspective on life.

Today I talk immigration with two of my close friends Scott griffin and Tony Rodriguez. Scott immigrated from Scotland and was recently granted United States citizenship. Tony’s family swam across the rio grande river from Mexico to the United States.

Looking into America’s future, are we heading in the right direction?

I quote, “removing stigma and shame allows room for understanding and acceptance of challenging events. This sets the stage for true healing and forgiveness to occur.” Some themes we discussed are split identities, relationships, love, cheating, social drinking, substance abuse, suicide, getting in trouble with the law, and overcoming trauma. Thank you for tuning in.

Today I sit down with Republican Jaymie Scott and Democrat, Alex Long. I wanted to construct a conversation where a conservative and liberal individual sit down and have an open discussion about various hot topics. This was not constructed with the goal of getting heated or bashing one another but rather to display that Americans with differing viewpoints can come together and have a constructive conversation. Some of the topics we discuss are abortion, immigration, climate change, affirmative action, equal opportunity, and the future of America.

Eating Disorders - Erin battled for years with what is defined as a “binge eating disorder” and was able to break her unhealthy habits and develop a positive relationship with food. She wants to communicate the message that if you’re out there struggling, you’re not alone. If she was able to overcome so can you. For the first half of the show we focus on her personal story and testimony. The second half we start breaking into societal factors and the importance of focusing on being healthy, rather than trying to achieve a certain image. Your relationship with food has an immense impact on your life and Erin’s story testifies to that fact. Out of all mental illnesses, eating disorders have the highest mortality rate, above schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. My hope is to bring awareness to the subject and I thank Erin for having the courage to share her story.
