May is skin cancer and melanoma awareness month. I am focusing on this awareness series in honor of the past outstanding and inspirational melanoma survivors that have been on the show. I will also introduce new guests to inspire you by sharing their lives and how they have found their strength and others to inform you of the importance of sun protection and what you need to know to stay safe.

I hope you find this series for Skin Cancer and Melanoma Awareness valuable. Anything that can be done to educate and share the importance of sun protection and survivorship is critical. When you are proactive and protect yourself from the beginning, It can be prevented. Skin cancer is bad, melanoma can be deadly. Remember, “It's not just skin cancer”!

Change your life! 

We all have had those moments in our life of feeling overwhelmed and stressed. Have you ever stopped to think where that feeling is coming from? What past event is at the core of those emotions?

Trauma can be stored in the body and will eventually show up in a number of ways. If you pay attention, you will start to notice this.

So, what do you do now?

My guest, Ann Hince, is here today to discuss her experience and what she did to help herself through those moments. Using EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique, she found there was a way to get through past trauma, to reverse the physical side effects of her deeply stored emotions and start living with a new perspective. 

By seeking out her truth, she did a course correction and found her inner peace in life. We all have the incredible power to release the trauma from past memories and to venture into the subconscious mind to release tension stored in our body, simply using the power of awareness.

When we find ourselves plucked out of our reality with a sudden and tragic event, we have to make that one important decision - to sink or swim.

Today we learn the emotional and touching story of Ryan Rae Harbuck rising out of her vulnerabilities and finding her strengths.

Ryan had to make that choice her junior year of high school after becoming paralyzed following a car accident. From healing her injuries to accepting to live her new life in a wheelchair, she learned the lesson that anything is possible. Turning her struggles into victories led her to discover the surprises life had for her.

Her life in a wheelchair helped her understand her purpose in a whole new way. Her power of perception opened a new world to her, allowing her to live her life in an extraordinary way. Throughout everything she has experienced, she truly believes in joyfully following the path that was given to her.

Ryan has turned her tragedy into triumph.

For more information about Ryan or her book, visit her website at RyanRaeHarbuck.com or follow the links in the episode description.

You can find her book “When I Grow Up, I Want to be a Chair” as well on Amazon.

Have you ever felt your mood change when someone walks into a room? Without a single word spoken, you pick up on the energy. Do you feel like you're extremely aware of your surroundings and situations? Have you ever been told you are too dramatic?

These all may be signs of being an empath or a highly sensitive person.

My guest Graciela Moore will light the way for us and discuss what that means and how it can affect our lives. Graciela is a certified life coach  and a highly sensitive person.  She understands what it feels like to be in tune with ourselves and will give us some tools to find out if you are a HSP and how to become less anxious and more self-aware.

In this episode, we learn how to manage, protect, nurture and harness the power of your energy. If you are struggling with your feelings and can’t explain why, your intuitive nature is most likely signaling to you.
