After being diagnosed with Crohn's disease, Auna opted to turn to wholistic remedies and harnessed the energy to bring endless abundance and manifestations that, not only brought her healing, but also allowed her to help thousands. Auna chose to deviate from the typical medical treatments and turned to spiritual healing from within and was able to significantly cure herself, without surgery or medication, with the power of her mind/body alignment. Auna shares with us the healing capabilities within each of us by tuning into our bodies and focusing on taking care of our individual needs. We talk inflammation, bloating, gut health, vitamins, juicing, movement, problematic foods like gluten and trying various methods to bring about our body’s highest functionality. Listen in to see how what we eat can completely change our physical and mental well being and for some actual deep breath work practice. Auna teaches us “Deep breaths are like love notes to ourselves.” Auna now dedicates her life as a nutrition coach to helping others work through the challenges of dealing with chronic diseases and relieving stress and shares with us some of the most important changes that brought her the biggest impact. As Auna says, “Mindset is everything” and her powerful story is a testament to it!

Shattering every darn glass ceiling they tried to put over our heads, our guest today was named one of the 30 Hottest Women in Politics by the Washington Times. Lisa Daftari shares how her relentless passion and purpose gave her the sense of mission in pursuing a path of journalism and becoming a political commentator. Lisa asks us to reflect on not how successful we are but whether we use all we have in this lifetime to make a difference. It’s a life journey to find what our gifts are- often times it’s the very talent that we take for granted. Lisa talks about how she finds her courage in covering challenging stories abroad and handling death threats for her views, by focusing on the people who thank her for being the voice for those who don’t have one. “This isn’t a career or a job,” as Lisa says, “it’s my calling.”

Bio on Lisa:

Lisa Daftari is an award-winning investigative journalist, political analyst and commentator frequently appearing on Fox News, CBS, NBC, PBS, Al Jazeera, Voice of America and SiriusXM focusing on foreign policy topics such as the Middle East and North Africa, terrorism, national security, human rights, and cyber security. Lisa also serves as director and founding editor of The Foreign Desk, a news platform covering stories and analysis from around the globe with an emphasis on their impact on U.S. foreign policy. She publishes a popular daily top-10 email briefing with the day’s most vital foreign affairs stories, reaching 250,000 monthly subscribers. Her exclusives appear on The Drudge Report, Fox News, The Telegraph, Newsweek, CNN, The Huffington Post and The Washington Post.

She is regularly called upon to give briefings and expert testimony to government and private entities and has worked for several think tanks in Washington, where she has written exclusive reports for the Pentagon and other government groups. Lisa speaks fluent Farsi, Spanish and English.Lisa has been named one of the 30 Hottest Women in Politics by the Washington Times. She grew up in a suburb of New York City and currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband and baby boy.

My key takeaways from my talk with Lisa: Allow yourself the rip and repair of life to build your emotional muscles to handle anything. Anything is possible with an authentic connection with our why and with hard work behind it! Everyone has a talent- if you cant find your gift its because you’re probably taking it for granted. We don’t have any excuse to not be courageous because of the sacrifices the generation before us went through to be in this free country. What if we looked at life not with the lens of how will i have the strength to do this but how could i live with myself if I didn’t. Knowledge is power- there is nothing more powerful we can do to fight the good fight without being informed!

Tune in to hear the remarkable story of how one man’s search for personal depth lead him on the path of bringing light to those battling with addiction. “They are us” says Rabbi Joseph Shamash, as he sheds light on the hard reality that, while not all of us may be addicts, in the technical form, we all do share similar stories with parallel challenges in finding purpose to fill our spiritual voids. Where do we turn to in filling our sense of brokenness? Many turn to drugs, alcohol, work and yes, even shopping. But what we ALL seek, as Joseph teaches, is universal: to find awe in life. Rabbi Joseph Shamash guides us on how he completely changed his own life around and in doing so learned that we can bring back that natural high in our lives as we search for meaning deeper than emptiness at the surface. This conversation touched my soul deeply- you just can’t miss it.  Connect with Rabbi Shamash via email: [email protected] or phone:310-204-5200 ext 261. Or join him, in person, for a Shabbat service at Beit T'Shuvah every Friday nights at 6:30pm.
