Seema Dasani isn’t just my guest — she’s been my therapist, teacher, and a powerful catalyst for transformation in my own life. Through our work together, I’ve made some BIG holy shifts I’d been struggling for years to make peace with.

Seema’s journey is one of courage, surrender, and rediscovering the truth of who we are. She’s a Licensed Professional Counselor, Eidetic Image Psychologist, and a luminous guide for anyone seeking meaning, freedom, and wholeness.

Let's dive in and chat about healing, curiosity, and the power of truly seeing ourselves.

Get ready for a real deep dive conversation.My next guest on Shifts & Giggles is none other than the magical and multi-talented Matthew Broad.

Matthew is a true pied piper of play and connection—leading community drumming circles for over 25 years, teaching people of all ages and skill levels how to find their rhythm, listen to one another, and create music together in just minutes.  His drumming circles build community, melt away stress, and spark pure joy.

But Matthew’s creativity doesn’t stop there—he’s also an author, a pie maker (yes, pie! ), and a freehand mandala artist whose work flows directly from a divine source of inspiration. What started with painting gratitude stones and garden rocks has blossomed into hundreds of vibrant mandalas on rocks, tiles, glass, canvas, and more. Each piece is a meditation, a joyful act of acceptance, and a reminder that perfection isn’t the goal—presence and play are. 

Matthew brings music, art, presence and laughter wherever he goes, and I can’t wait to see where our conversation takes us. One thing’s for sure: it will be deep, meaningful, and sprinkled with some laughter too.

Welcome to Shifts and Giggles, where we laugh through life's bumps, cry through the cracks, and honor the beautiful mess of being human.

Today’s guest is someone who embodies grace under fire. Dr. Nancy Byrne is a radiant healer, a doctor of Chinese Medicine, and a true soul alchemist whose work helps women reclaim their inner and outer glow. She’s the kind of practitioner who can lift your facial features and your spirit in one session—and let’s be honest, that’s magic.

But Nancy’s light wasn’t born from ease. She’s here today to share not just her expertise in acupuncture, gua sha, and holistic facials—but also the deep, gritty healing she’s walked through herself. From living with Interstitial Cystitis, to surviving a near-fatal attack by a stranger, to navigating the heartbreak of betrayal by someone she once trusted—Nancy knows what it means to rebuild from rubble.

And yet she brings to her work a softness, a strength, and a sparkle that tells the truth: your glow doesn’t come from a product, it comes from your power.

So let’s take a breath, open our hearts, and welcome the luminous, resilient, and deeply real Dr. Nancy Byrne to Shifts and Giggles—where beauty meets bravery, and everything is medicine.

Welcome back to another episode of Shifts & Giggles! Today I’m thrilled to be joined by the adventurous and deeply insightful Tertius Bune—a man whose name sounds like it should come with a compass and a campfire story.

Welcome back to Shifts & Giggles!

Today, I am so delighted to introduce you to my guest and dear friend, Michelle Giliberto — intuitive healer, visionary leader, and CEO of Purely Resonance™. 

Michelle is carrying forward the pioneering legacy of Healers Who Share, transforming it into a cutting-edge system of quantum frequency formulas that empower transformation on every level: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

Her journey into this work began not in a boardroom, but in her own home — as a mom searching for healing solutions for herself and her children. 

That path of love, research, and relentless curiosity led her to vibrational medicine, to co-founding the nonprofit Epidemic Answers, and ultimately to guiding Purely Resonance™ into its next evolution.

Michelle blends her background in communications, her training in Reiki, ThetaHealing®, and medical intuition, with her deep dedication to research and development. 

She continues to create state-of-the-art formulas and tools that help people across the World reconnect to their innate ability to heal and thrive.

One of the things I love most is how Michelle lives the truth that we all have intuitive gifts and that creation itself is the highest form of service. 

Her work is a living reminder that healing can be both miraculous and accessible — and that the waters she stewards carry both science and soul.

So get ready for a conversation that flows with insight, resonance, and maybe even a few giggles along the way.

Welcome back to Shifts & Giggles! Today I’m joined by the wildly creative and deeply soulful Larry Nardi—musician, composer, guitar slinger, frequency fiddler, and skilled Biofield Tuning practitioner.

Larry brings together his artistry with sound and his mastery of subtle energy to help people reconnect to balance and harmony within themselves. 

I can’t wait to explore with Larry how music, energy, and harmony weave together—and discover how to heal and tune-in to ourselves and the world around us...

Welcome, Larry!

I am so honored to welcome today’s guest to Shifts & Giggles—the fierce, wise, and deeply soulful Vicky Cook.

Vicky is someone who has walked through fire—and emerged with a powerful message of truth, transformation, and radical self-love. Her work is rooted in lived experience. She knows what it means to face yourself, all of yourself, and to choose healing over hiding.

She's been both literally and metaphorically imprisoned—and through that journey, she has discovered the kind of inner authority, acceptance, and freedom that only comes from doing the deep work.

Her story is one of courage, clarity, and surrender. She is a beacon for those who are ready to stop fighting with themselves and start loving themselves—all of themselves.

Today on Shifts and Giggles, I’m joined by someone who wears more hats than most of us own—Nancy Scherlong! Nancy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a certified coach, a registered poetry and journal therapist, and basically a one-woman wellness center.

She’s spent over 20 years helping people find healing through words, creativity, and connection—whether it’s through writing, psychodrama, or just plain being human.

Nancy works with everyone from teens to adults, helping folks navigate stress, life transitions, and the occasional existential meltdown—with a whole lot of heart and a deep toolkit of integrative therapies.

She's trained in everything from trauma-informed care to holistic health, and she brings both clinical chops and soul to the work she does.

Basically, if you’ve ever wanted to journal your way to feeling better—or just talk to someone who gets it—Nancy’s your person. I'm so excited to have her here today.

Welcome to Shifts and Giggles, Nancy!

Meet Krista Stanley, PhD, a modern mystic and medium who blends deep intuition with decades of corporate savvy and academic rigor.

Her journey began as a curious, fearless child who bypassed tricycles and dove into the deep end of life — literally and metaphorically.

Though her path led her through high-level corporate management and wisdom studies, it was a vivid dream and a turquoise 1956 Roadmaster that pointed her toward her truest calling: helping others navigate the wild, wondrous terrain of the unseen.

Now, Krista serves as a field guide for the crossover curious — gently leading others to reconnect with their intuition, decode their dreams, and open to the wider spheres of wisdom available to us all.

With one foot in the spiritual world and one firmly rooted in the here-and-now, she shows us that the road of life becomes infinitely richer when we tune in to more than what meets the eye.

If you’ve ever wondered how to read the field, tap into your inner knowing, or decode the symbols the universe keeps sending your way… this episode is for you.
