Aaishwariya Gulani has always been avidly involved in her surrounding community. As she progresses through her medical education, she has had the opportunity to provide care all around the world for underprivileged populations.

What is spiritual health? Checking in with YOURSELF. During this pandemic, our anxieties have been through the roof. Jenny and Ashley talk to Kelly Mosser, an intuitive tarot advisor, who is able to walk us through our feelings and give us a little guidance.

Jayme Hunter is the definition of resilient. From divorce, to losing a parent, to balancing work with being a mother, she's endured many different obstacles at only 30 years old. Jayme walks us through grieving different types of losses, including loss of a job. Sometimes our lives pan out to be completely different than what we had always pictured, and we have to learn to adjust. We can either dwell on it, or accept it, and move on to become greater than our circumstances. Jayme inspires us to do just that.
