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 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.

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.

Michael didn't want to be a rock star. Yes, it was fun. They released two albums and went on tour. But he wanted to be a teacher, and has been for over 25 years. This is the story of honoring the gift of doing what you were truly meant to do. 

There was also the stint on Wall Street. Michael discusses how he talked his way into that job, schmoozed his way up the ladder, had way too much fun, and then how he came to the realization that it was time to step aside.

Also, hear the story of how Michael's brother came through to him from the other side - clearly, standing before him - and the message he delivered.

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.
