Raditude

Sandra Combe is a retired corporate executive turned author, speaker, and healing arts entrepreneur. As a woman climbing the corporate ladder, she knew she had to stay sharp, and at 48, in the midst of a career at ExxonMobil that would span decades, she went back to school and earned her MBA. Her fast-paced lifestyle quickly came to a standstill when she had two near-death experiences: a heart attack at 49 and a triple bypass at 50. Those two occurrences shifted her mindset. She realized that what she needed more than work was to look within herself. In the years that followed, Sandra co-founded a wellness business with her daughter and began immersing herself in energy medicine and spiritual study. She also penned a memoir, Stop the Bypass, which details her extraordinary story and journey to becoming a healing arts entrepreneur.

In this episode, host Robert Radnoti sits down with his longtime friend and ExxonMobil co-worker to discuss her book and the key moments that led to her new career. Their conversation covers her strict upbringing, young marriage to professional baseball player Jeff Combe, corporate experience in a male-dominated industry, and the health crisis that forced her to slow down. She also talks about the inspiration behind her book, sharing intimate details about the traumatic swimming pool incident that led to a three-day coma and the vivid experiences she had during that time. She even opens up about her experience as a new author dealing with honest family opinions. To close, she explains her daily ritual in what she calls her "Be Still" chair and what she learned from years of studying with spiritual teacher Derek O'Neill.

Tune in to episode 68 of RADitude to hear how Sandra Combe turned a health scare and a life-altering near-death experience into a mission to help others stop bypassing their own truth. You’ll also get the practical, grounding advice she offers anyone feeling burnt out on autopilot.

What if your struggles aren’t just psychological—but spiritual? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Howard Wolin shares why he left psychiatry to confront the hidden energies keeping people stuck.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Howard Wolin, a board-certified medical doctor, psychiatrist, and psychoanalyst who now works as an intuitive spiritual healer. After decades of practicing conventional medicine and psychotherapy, he redirected his focus toward energetics and spiritual wellness, helping people release negative energies, possessions, and inherited traumas. Drawing from Native American healing traditions, kinesiology, and crystal work, Dr. Wolin specializes in remote intuitive readings and energy clearing, often working with clients he's never met in person. His practice centers on liberating individuals from cycles of self-sabotage, addiction, and emotional suffering by restoring energetic balance. Now based in Naples, Florida, he supports clients worldwide through the Wolin Wellness Center.

Throughout this episode, Howard offers a transformative perspective in the episode as he shares how his own path unfolded—from traditional psychiatry to a spiritual healing practice focused on clearing energetic disturbances.

During our conversation, Howard gives clear examples of how he identifies and removes “possessions” that often underlie persistent life challenges. He emphasizes the need for openness in healing and explains how, guided by spirit allies, he helps individuals find clarity and freedom—even when they’re halfway around the world. His approach invites listeners to reconsider how we define mental and emotional health through a broader, more spiritual lens.
