Maryanna Nardone is a globally renowned skincare professional with a celebrity clientele, the founder of her own skincare line, an educator for Deepak Chopra’s Perfect Lifestyle Program, and now the author of Finding My Ruby Slippers, A Soul’s Journey to Self Love. In Ruby Slippers, Maryanna shares her journey from growing up in an Italian family in New York, as one of four siblings, to ending up on her balcony in Manhattan overlooking the East River and breathtaking views. I’m not spoiling anything by saying it ends happily because the meat is in the middle and Maryanna shares it all – losses, trauma, losing her power and finding her way, just like Dorothy, back to herself, back home.

Hear how Marianna experienced a loss that fractured her soul's energy, and the healing journey she went on to bring her back to herself. 

Also, Marianna discusses how her father predicted that his parents' plane from Italy was going to crash, and her relationship with her mother and how it improved after her passing. Plus, Marianna shares her experience at Deepak Chopra's retreat and an exercise that turned, unexpectedly, magical.

Kathy McCabe has the ultimate dream job. As the host of PBS’s Dream of Italy, she travels to locations all over the country, tasting, talking and taking in the culture in, as you hear before every episode, and I rightly agree, “the most fascinating country in the world.” You can find her at Andrea Bocelli’s house receiving a personal serenade, or alongside Francis Ford Coppola getting a tour of his hotel, or chatting over a glass of wine with Marisa Tomei or hanging out with Sting himself. After founding the magazine of the same name in 2002, Kathy knows how to make a dream come true and shows everyone how to Dream of Italy. 

Kathy discusses fulfilling her grandfather's dream of making it to their ancestral village of Castelvetere sul Calore and what happened while on that very first trip. Plus, what her mother told her as she was passing, and how her mom has come through after that, including the awe inspiring story of who signed her father's death certificate.

Also discussed the phenom that is Finney! Hear how Kathy received an unmistakable sign when contemplating whether to take her dog Finney to Italy.

Carol Pivot, like any good hairdresser, lent her ear to her clients for over 30 years, helping them navigate life’s ups and downs. Despite having always been a seeker with a natural curiousity, she still never expected to be on the path she’s on now – healing others as a Reiki master and serving as a connection to loved ones on the other side through readings as a psychic medium.

After experiencing signficant losses, hear how Carol sought the teachings of psychic medium John Edward, and where that led, starting with a life altering message from an astrologer and the idea to learn Reiki, something she had never even heard about before. From there, hear how she "became open" during sessions and the different ways in which messages come through. 

Carol also shares the unforgettable, and fitting, signs she received from her first husand and from her father.

ORIGINALLY AIRED on IGTV on July 26, 2021

There was a time in Washington, DC in the late 80s/early 90s when author Jeannie Zokan was a girl about town reading palms at high end hotels and parties. In her second novel, Courage Without Grace, main character Josie Wales, a palm reader in DC, finds the courage to face her future, and to face a secret from her past. In this IGTV episode, Jeannie reads Fern’s palm! And discusses a letter of recommendation she received from none other than Ben Bradlee. The letter is handwritten and includes a word that, for 30 years, Jeannie hasn’t been able to decipher. And either can anyone else. 

NOTE: This episode aired in 2021 and the contest has ended.
