I don't know about you.....but, as an empath.....I feel the energies deeply.  Have you been feeling it?  It's intense.  How do we hold space for an abundance of fear coming from all sides of the coin?  How do we love people when they are frustrated at our apparent lack of concern or concern for the wrong things?  How do we speak our minds, & pursue our passions, & HEAL, when everyone is so angsty, sad, anxious, and unsure of where we are all headed as a humanity.  

And....we are just supposed to keep going.  We are supposed to keep showing up.  We are supposed to keep courageously healing.  We are supposed to keep letting go of our destructive thought patterns.  We are supposed to start meditating now.  We are supposed to give up our addictions.  We are supposed to listen to uplifting podcasts.  We are supposed to get healthier and happier.  We are supposed to ignore the FEAR & YELLING....and keep going after our goals & visions.  

Wow....that will be a task.  It has always been a task.  It will always be a task.  To live in this world....and to not be drowned in the chaos & worry & landfills is a task.  And we each have the strength inside of us to choose to be messengers of love, one day at a time.  To move forward, even though we are also afraid.

Idara and I met in 2011 when I went to speak to her student government class in high school.  I remember being touched by her honesty that day.  We reconnected via social media recently, and I was super excited to interview her and learn more about the transformative & healing work she is living & creating today.  Thanks for coming by and listening to our conversation.

OUR HEALING VOICES Episode 16 features NATHAN SERVILICAN.  Nathan and I met at Cougar Town back in 2011.  Cougar Town offered high school students an opportunity to learn about their unconscious prejudices and to discover how they can be messengers of unity & love in our diverse world.  Nathan was a camp counselor and I was an adult counselor that year.  Fast forward 9 years, and Nathan and I reconnected on Facebook about this natural wellness world, and after diving into conversations with him I asked him if he would be willing to share his voice here.  I enjoyed my interview with him and I know you will walk away feeling encouraged to continue making courageous daily choices for yourself, for all of us, & for the Earth.

OUR HEALING VOICES Episode 15 features OLIVIA AVANZATO.  Olivia and I met in the summer of 2014 at the Odyssey Teen Camp! We were both working as counselors & did what we could to be a positive presence for the teenagers there! I was amazed at the way Olivia and her partner, Nadia, facilitated their healing workshops that summer! I am grateful for the friendship that has grown since then!

OUR HEALING VOICES Episode 14 features JADE MAGHONEY.  Jade and I connected back in 2007 when she was in my student council class during high school!  I remember Jade's positive energy and smile.  Her passion for making the school a more loving place for all attracted an incredible group of friends around her!  After her sophomore year, Jade moved across the country with her mom & 2 sisters, and I remember crying because I was so sad to see her go, & because I was grateful for the influence she had had in my life!  After losing touch for a bit, fortunately Instagram re-connected us a few years ago.  Since then we have been exchanging life updates from time to time that have inspiring to me.  And a couple years ago, my wife Sara and I were blessed to meet Jade for a coffee when she was out in California!!

OUR HEALING VOICES Episode 13 features VICTOR J. IRIZARRY.  Victor and I met about 12 years ago when my lovely, long-time friend Sarah began dating him.  We all connected for a few coffeeshop hangouts, I gave Victor a couple massages, and each time we had the opportunity to connect, I left feeling excited about life, love, and unity.  For me, if you leave someone feeling those things, you ought to continue getting to know them better.  Fast forward a little bit and I asked him to be on the Our Healing Voices podcast.  One, so that I could get know him better, and two, because I felt like I wasn't the only one that needed to hear his voice.

OUR HEALING VOICES Episode 12 features ELIZABETH OLDERSHAW.  Elizabeth and I met in this last five years because of our passion and excitement for essential oils.  We were blessed to enjoy a long weekend retreat in Carlsbad in the summer of 2019, that gave us each unique gifts & wisdom.  Elizabeth is about to release her first book in November 2020, and we thought this would be a great opportunity for us to have a conversation to learn more about her book & her life journey.  If you have walked through losing someone dear to you, or are walking through it currently, I believe that you will want to listen to Episode 12 & have dive in more with Elizabeth in the days and months ahead!
