• SLOW the medicine of slowing and practices to increase our sensitivity – Sheryl asks how this works for those with a busy schedule and Julia distinguishes between slowing down our lives and slowing down our racing minds and reactionary habits
• BODY the medicine of embodying and practices for embodiment that help even the most disconnected of us return to ourselves

Peggy Sue Skipper, Intuitive, Healer, Author, Founder of The Consciously Curious, and Member of the Conscious Co-Creators (http://www.loveandkindnessworld.com) chats with host Sheryl Sitts, MPA, BA, Possibilities Coach & Holistic Practitioner (http://www.sherylsitts.com) about:

• What it means to her to shift from being consciously curious to fully embodying being a conscious co-creator in life
• Peggy Sue speaks about the importance of recognizing what we are “feeding” (our attention and energy) and how that is exactly what we create
• How can we cultivate greater awareness to catch ourselves when we are being triggered and shift our response? Both Peggy Sue and Sheryl weigh in on this important topic
• What is the difference between discernment and judgment? Which is appropriate and how can we tell where we are in that spectrum?
• They discuss the importance of taking a pause when emotionally triggered, stepping away, and allowing emotions to calm before returning to a situation so as to be able to think more clearly and choose the best next words or actions
• Peggy Sue discusses in her book The Art of Conscious Evolution how the practice of hand analysis guided her to greater awareness around her life lesson and life purpose and inspired her to read others hands. They discuss the importance of knowing these and acknowledge that we attract others with similar or complimentary life lessons and life purposes, and talk about how we can get stuck commiserating about our life lessons rather than learning and healing through those.
• Sheryl talks about the big shift and aha she had after having her hands read and how that will impact the show and her business later this year in exciting new ways!
• Their conversation shifts to the planet and how urgent it is that we begin to live in alignment and harmony with her rather than the destructive practices that she can not continue to endure, and how families can begin to embrace more eco-friendly sustainable practices in their homes to create this shift

…and so much more. Enjoy!

Dr. Jeremy de los Santos, DC, Owner/Operator of Simple Life Chiropractic & Wellness in Montgomery, Texas (http://www.simplelifechiro.com) is the chiropractor of choice for host Sheryl Sitts, MPA, BA, Possibilities Coach & Holistic Practitioner (http://www.sherylsitts.com). This week she interviews this native Texan family man who specializes in pediatrics and family care, is Certified in Peripheral Neuropathy, Chronic and Intractable Pain by the American College of Physical Medicine, and passionately supports and educates his community in optimum health without drugs or surgery. Specifically they discuss:

• Why Dr. Jeremy became so passionate about not only living a holistic life but facilitating this lifestyle for others
• Sheryl recalls in her 20s when she was living the wild life, having car accidents, partying, and generally not treating her body well, and how chiropractors were not as well recognized for dealing with these situations then, so fast forward 50 years and her body now has a lot to do to heal from this. She invites Dr. Jeremy to speak about why someone should not wait until they are in pain to visit a chiropractor. There is another 90% of the body (the nerves) functioning outside pain registration that means waiting for pain takes much longer for the body to stabilize and recover
• Dr. Jeremy discusses the advances in technology that have produced non-invasive scans like Dr. Jeremy uses in his practice to evaluate a patient and learn much more about what is going on within the body, especially where stress and tension is building within the central nervous system
• They discuss how we have become accustomed to wanting fast results, and natural medicine works different. Dr. Jeremy expands on this.
• Gut health and functional nutrition are being more widely acknowledged as critical factors to overall health. Sheryl references her previous interview with Renu Agrawal (available at https://www.journeyofpossibilities.com/exploring-possibilities-holistic-health-nutrition-with-renu-agrawal/)
• Dr. Jeremy explains why he is so passionate about pediatric chiropractic care and starting as young as possible to get and keep children healthy. He references Dr. Tony Ebel’s Perfect Storm workshop (https://www.premierwellnesschiro.com/getting-out-of-the-perfect-storm/) and how chiropractic care can significantly benefit not only all children but especially children on the spectrum to relax their central nervous system, the impact of proper nutrition and now to get ADD / ADHD children off Adderall and functioning well
• Dr. Jeremy shares a personal story about his cousin who was otherwise physically fit but became a a bilateral amputee because of diabetic neuropathy, inspiring Dr. Jeremy to study and become certified in peripheral neuropathy, chronic and intractable pain to help patients feel better and also educate them how to slow the progresion of this chronic disease
• Dr. Jeremy is also eager to spread the word that active military, wounded warriors and gold-star dependents as well as family members can receive free chiropractic care through The Patriot Project (http://www.patriot-project.org), a movement started by chiropractors to ensure veterans know that chiropractic care is included in veterans’ health benefits
• Electro Regenerative Technology has arrived at Simple Life Chiropractic. Research shows that Pulse Electro Magnetic Field therapy (PEMF) supports the body vibrationally to facilitate faster healing and recovery. Dr. Jeremy discusses some of the research and its uses.

…and there’s more. Enjoy!

Kevin Hancock, multi-award-winning Author, Speaker, Chairman and CEO of Hancock Lumber (http://www.thebusinessofsharedleadership.com) visits with host Sheryl Sitts, MPA, BA, Possibilities Coach & Holistic Practitioner (http://www.sherylsitts.com) to discuss:

Ritika Arya is an international speaker, certified Waldorf Educator from CSETT (Centre for Steiner Education and Teacher Training), healing facilitator, and the Founder of the NGO Young Innovators Foundation providing holistic education to youth in India and consulting worldwide. She is very involved with MTVO (http://www.mtvo.org) where you can also schedule a session with her, and she works with Youth Section of India affiliated with International Youth Section. Most recently she has spent three years studying to facilitate Rudolph Steiner’s Biography work which she discusses today with her most recent recipient of this powerful work, show host Sheryl Sitts, MPA, BA, Possibilities Coach & Holistic Practitioner (http://www.sherylsitts.com).

• On her last show appearance in May 2017 (https://www.journeyofpossibilities.com/exploring-possibilities-ritika-arya-on-anthroposophy-global-consciousness-heart-centered-living/), Ritika and Sheryl discussed how they met at TEDx The Woodlands and her previous work with Rudolph Steiner and Waldorf education.
• Ritika shares how she was intuitively guided to invest so much time and energy into studying Biography work before she had any understanding the scope of what was required, and the pattern this reflects within her own life, and how she’s learning to trust herself and her guidance
• They laugh over how they were guided to work together in Biography work that led both of them into three months of sessions and a deep dive into the totality of the scope of life
• They discuss how to listen and hear spiritual guidance and Divine alignment, as well as how some get the answer in their bodies and others get their confirmation in other ways
• What is Biography? Ritika shares what it means to her as a platform to look at life as a compassionate observer / witness to reveal the dance, tunes, and patterns that unfold to facilitate a deeper sense of creating our reality and understanding how the dance unfolds
• Sheryl shares the power of reviewing her entire 56 year life in 7 year segments weekly in sessions with Ritika and how her guiding questions helped to prompt deeper exploration, and how she feel in love with the totality of her life for the first time
• Sheryl discusses how her shame rose up during the process and how she was able to process through it with a true compassionate witness and Ritika discusses what it is like to be trusted as a facilitator to reflect back that trust and love to encourage more to arise and be seen
• They talk about how releasing things creates space for something new, and the power of intentionally guiding what we want to fill that space with vs. allowing anything to fill itself in
• The profound nature of looking at life from many different perspectives until we can’t help but see the profound beauty of it all, ex. why we choose to be born exactly where and when we were born and how that impacts our lives
• What does it look like to step into the true creatorship of our lives?
• The difference between forcing life to happen as we want it and setting intentions to then flow with life and recognize synchronicities and signs as they appear for our conscious interaction
• The various stages of life development according to Steiner and how this can be helpful to parents and others working with youth to understand what is going on inside of them, driving their behaviors at various ages

…and so much more. Enjoy!

Ken Breniman, LCSW, C-IAYT, Licensed Psychotherapist, Certified Yoga Therapist & Thanatologist (http://www.kenbreniman.com) talks with host Sheryl Sitts, MPA, BA, Possibilities Coach & Holistic Practitioner (http://www.sherylsitts.com) about:

• As we enter what is widely viewed as a happy time of year, the holidays, many of us are carrying grief from real and imagined losses we have experienced during this COVID-19 pandemic, and many families are divided over how we should proceed from here. Ken discusses how we can manage this grief, and what he has learned as a student and therapist on thanatology (the study of mortality) and further states that much of the tension and pain we feel during this time is our unresolved grief.
• Ken shares how we are all here learning about our own mortality and how to cope with loss, something that can be even more difficult in our Western “death-avoidant culture”
• He mentions a term from psychology called “object relations” and how the very youngest among us (and even our own inner child) struggles to understand the pain of physical absence
• How do we work through our grief? Ken discusses how we tend to push it away out of fear, and yet the only way to resolve it is to sit with it. He shares and explains how to engage in beneficial ancient technologies, specifically heart-texting, meta-meditation, and tonglen meditation
• They discuss the technology and “apps” within us and can work with technology to recognize and develop our own abilities and even upgrade our gifts
• They discuss how we can work with sacred plant medicines to navigate our own mortality. Ken shares using caution in how we work with these enlisting our best “harm-reduction” approach in bringing such powerful things into the mainstream. Ken references the headline with a former heavyweight boxer who claims working with these several times a day, and they are so strong and sacred, so we may want to reconsider our approach and discover the benefits of less-is-more. Sheryl admits to getting a bit “lost in it” when she began journeying because it was so powerful, beautiful, and sacred, and then recognized the power of integration to space out ceremonies and bring more forth over time using daily practices.
• Ken correlates our culture as being in its “pre-teen phase”, trauma-inducing, death-avoidant, and trying to make sense of our world, and how sacred plant medicines can help us with that
• Sheryl shares her own experiences in ceremony that have brought her a deeper knowing of the Divine, reincarnation, and more. She no longer needs texts and teachers or clinging to beliefs because she has been given a direct experience in ceremony.
• Ken references the research on the ten phenomenon shared by most during near-death-experiences (NDEs) and how most of those are also experienced in ayahuasca ceremonies, and how we return back into normal conscienscious integration as a gift. Sheryl speaks to the peeling away of the layers of identifies, programming, and beliefs until we are left at the core essence of I AM, free to choose our own course forward instead of being unconsciously trapped in our stories and identies
• Ken explains why he wanted to work with psychedelics to help clients. He shares losing his mother at 18 and being taught to avoid his grief until he discovered recreational use of MDMA in the gay community of San Francisco and later had close calls and near-death experiences with DSM. Later as Ken trained in yoga, he was invited into “circles of clear men” in ceremony and he accepted when he was ready. His ego guided him that there would be healing possible in that work and to stay with it. Later he found ayahuasca enabled him to stay with it longer and witness his final time with his Mother. There he found compassion and forgiveness for others and himself. He calls ayahuasca his “grief teacher” in comparison with the “prolonged grief disorder that DSM promotes”, comparing numbing out against finding deeper love to feel and heal.
• Ken talks about the dual track model of berievement: one side being work (active grieving) and the other is rest(oration); when do we lean into the work with plant medicines and when do we integrate
• Sheryl asks Ken how he can be so peaceful and serene as a grief-worker when that would seem such sad work. He responds very personally about befriending the parts of himself that he left behind. The earliest versions that get tracked or lost, it is a rather soul retrieval/remembrance to hold and love those parts of ourselves that were once so confused and lost. In doing this, we can also have some to share with others by being that possibility. He also admits that he is still working through things himself, having spent this summer in his own grief cocoon to do deeper self-healing. “We show up the best we can and remind ourselves when we need to care for ourselves.”
• Sheryl talks about how this show has helped her learn to go with the flow and trust natural timing.
• Ken adds the importance to him in realizing what he is capable of doing and when he needs to say now. He is happy with what he can offer to his community and grateful there are others building their dreams so we can all be of service in our own innate ways.
• When asked who he attracts into his community, Ken responds that his inner circle is his queer community he feels committed to serving, and that ripples out to reach those who are “psychedelically inclined or curious”, even if they have never worked with those substances but may simply sit in a sound bath and have visions
• In ceremony, Ken considers himself a lifeguard, saying you already know how to swim, so even though he can be a swim coach a little bit, he’s an energy cheerleader rallying around seeing you become the hero of your own story
• Ken seems surprised when Sheryl tells him she sees him as someone living on the fringes of society as a gay man working with psychedelics and talking openly about grief, and says she also sees herself on the fringes. Their conversation turns into how they can each blend in and go unnoticed and others can’t, and the universal nature of being unique. We are all misfits and we can all shine in that uniqueness!
• Ken expands on being a gay white male learning to live in that identity and conversely letting go of what the ego wants to hold onto around those identities
• Ken is excited for Matrix IV and what that might reveal to influence society during our great awakening. He is eager to learn whatever important messages may come through that; and what is the new normal on the other side of this? Sheryl says our new normal is change and we are learning not to need to get back onto solid ground; they aim to stay open to whatever may come and sit with the question, “So…now what?”
• Sheryl speaks about learning to balance those events and activities that must be planned with keeping enough openness in her schedule to sit with her guidance around new ideas and energies that want to manifest through her.

…and so much more. Enjoy!

Patricia McCabe, Dine (Navajo) Mother, Grandmother, Activist, Artist, Writer, Ceremonial Leader & International Speaker (http://www.patmccabe.net) takes time to visit with host Sheryl Sitts, MPA, BA, Possibilities Coach & Holistic Practitioner (http://www.sherylsitts.com) to speak about her deepest passions for Earth and humanity at this time. Their conversation features:

• The importance of defining and beginning to heal the Sacred Masculine and Sacred Feminine. She explains how our understanding of the masculine and feminine has been reshaped to fit the current “power over / power under” paradigm which draws us out of living in harmony with one another and our planet.
• She expands about money and how important it is that we recognize how satisfying every legal contract in existence on Earth will require more natural resources than we have available. This paradigm has also inspired hoarding and a spirit of competition (winners/losers) rather than cooperation or collaboration. The result is 26 billionaires holding 56% of the world’s wealth, according to Pat.
• She declares that the “patriarchy” is not really the fault of the masculine, but of this power over / power under paradigm we have been living in since the times of our great grandparents.
• We discuss how to begin to shift this through money. While it may be our inclination to do away with money, they explore how the energy of money can be transmuted to bring healing to this paradigm.
• Pat talks about how money originates from life, as does everything at some point. She says “life is crying out for life” and expands on this realization.
• They touch on the strain on natural resources and use water as an example. Pat discusses the making of soft drinks and other beverages and how much water that takes, as water is in rapidly dwindling supply.
• Pat discusses how women have suppressed our roles in physical creation through how we treat our monthly cycles and our bodies. She compares that to Native American women of the past and how they managed their cycles with reverence to all that represents.

…and much more! This is a rich and passionate conversation designed to bring hope through action to all who hear it. Enjoy!
