🎙️ Episode 2: Dr. Barbara Dennis: Ancient Medicine for Modern Souls

In this heartfelt episode of the Raise Your Connection Podcast, our host Marcus Thompson sits down with the one and only Dr. Barbara Dennis, a licensed acupuncturist and founder of Natural Paths Acupuncture, for a soul-nourishing conversation that flows from ancient healing to modern disconnection, and how to bridge that gap.

Barbara brings decades of holistic wisdom to the table as she and Marcus unpack what it really means to live in alignment with nature, each other, and ourselves. From the energetic power of acupuncture to astrology, seasons, Yin and Yang, and even Human Design… this episode covers it all.

They also dive into the idea that we’re not as divided as we think we are—and that maybe, just maybe, healing begins by simply sitting down and talking to one another.

This episode also features a hands-on (literally) moment where Dominika Thompson, Raise Your Media’s own CEO and podcast producer, receives a live acupuncture treatment and shares what it feels like to be energetically reset by Dr. Barbara.
