Speaking From The Heart

The persistence to be able to continue through life, regardless of what obstacles we encounter, is a universal cliche by today's standards of what we expect from others. However, when death of a loved one has stricken us with the inability to keep moving forward, we know that we have to figure out ways to navigate through in a healthy way. Today's guest, Stacey Niedentohl, discusses the importance of not only the balance between communicating with the spirits that are around us through her evidentiary practices, but also shares the meaningful truth about seeking out assistance when our mental health is at risk. Oftentimes, we are led to believe that being able to have one last conversation with those that have departed to another world can help to cure so much, but not only is this myth dispelled, but the meaningful intentions of being able to celebrate in life the opportunities that are presented because we can celebrate that death can help us to move forward. Not only is it about the energies that surround us (which we have discussed in previous episodes), but it is about the ability for us to continue that legacy with well-intended purposes of what those who have passed wished that we would be able to still do.

Stacey Niedentohl is an entrepreneur & co-owner of Hip Gypsy Emporium. She prides herself in being a child of God, Evidential Medium, Spiritual Healer, and the author of "My Head Knows...But My Heart Still Hurts" and "My Crystal Addiction Diary.“ She wrote "My Head Knows...But My Heart Still Hurts" because of wanting to help her clients walk through grief and to remember what they had instead of being stuck in grief. Stacey’s true calling is to help clients heal from the loss of a loved one. Every day we live is a closer day to our passing, and through connecting to the spirits, she is able to give you evidence that your loved one is still very much around. The books helps honor them by writing stories of their life touched them while aiding people through the grieving process. Stacey's hope is that after reading and journaling through this book, it will help you to realize "They are only a whisper away".

Intro/Outro By: Michael Dugan, Podcast Host: Voice4Chefs

Coarse language is often viewed as a way of making a point come across with great intensity and forcefulness. The personal and professional realms both have different viewpoints as to how it can accentuate your messaging, but can it be overused? When is it appropriate, and when it is not? Although from a courtesy standpoint that this subject may be an easy answer, this episode may provide surprising answers to how foul language may be advantageous, but only up to a certain point.

(WARNING: This episode contains explicit language and should not be listened to with children around or in sensitive environments.)

Intro/Outro By: Michael Dugan, Podcast Host: Voice4Chefs

Have you found your accountability partner to help you stay on track and be focused with your goals? Similar to a coach, finding someone that can fill the void of making sure that you stay on track is vital to the success of the day-to-day, let alone the dreams that you set out to create. In this exciting conclusion to our interview with Kaneshi Hart, we discuss the importance of this concept, along with finding the "crazy, undeniable love" that we wish to have in the pursuit of what we truly enjoy. Not only do we find our true purpose (our "why"), but we are able to create dynamics in many of the expectations that we set for ourselves. This episode cumulates into the most undeniable concept of why this show, Speaking From The Heart, exists, and will blow you away with the sincerity, conviction, and purpose that both our podcast host and his guest both express in how they both forever move forward in creating value for themselves and others.

Intro/Outro By: Michael Dugan, Podcast Host: Voice4Chefs

What would happen to both your physical and mental states if you were laid off three times from various jobs you held? Do you think you would be able to overcome the waves of negativity resulting from that, which would stymie your grown in various areas of your life? What if you are able to shift your mindset, bypass the bad messaging, and find ways to connect with meaningful people to get "a leg up" on the competition? Today's guest, Kaneshi Hart, exemplifies and embodies all of these traits and shares her intimate story of how she was able to start interviewing coaches making six- and seven-figure businesses, and how that influence has helped her to start her own business model.

This sets up the exciting Part 2 that will be sure to leave you with many opportunities to magnify your personal and professional self worth in a variety of different ways.

Intro/Outro By: Michael Dugan, Podcast Host: Voice4Chefs

Learning how to organize your personal and professional tasks in order to achieve them on a daily basis is only a small set of components to living a fulfilled life. Does your home, however, have the functionality to help you sustain your daily activities, including how you feel about yourself and having others over? Today's guest, Alyssa, describes the importance of having a strategic plan in your home organization by empowering her clients to do the same through her techniques, support mechanisms, and other types of resources to create ownership in this realm. The interplay between organizing our physical space, along with our mental space, have direct correlations to the abilities we have deep inside of ourselves to achieve success, and today's subject proves that having both of them working collaboratively can make a significant impact not only to your well-being, but to your overall success in forming relationships, confidence, and determination as well!

This episode is dedicated to all those that have many unsolved problems, mounting stressors, and the unlimited amount of possible solutions and attempts to address these problems and stressors with uncertainty of what is effective. There are many ways to approach these types of opportunities to tackle your “to-do” list, but tackling them in the same old ways are not the way to address them in the new age of technology, combined with long forgotten, efficient techniques. No matter if they are personal or professional in nature, retooling your opportunities to address them in innovative new ways can be a game changer for yourself and others.

Intro/Outro By: Michael Dugan, Podcast Host: Voice4Chefs

Before you scroll past this episode, do not think that this is about ghosts, witches, goblins, and other spooky paranormal investigations that we have heard about from Hollywood and other types of dramatizations! This is all about the energies that we leave behind in our daily lives and how they can infect, sometimes even destroy, the very fabric of our lives and our relationships with others. Today's guest, Anna Schmidt, has devoted her life to the paranormal and helping her clients cleanse the "left-behind energies" that are exuded from long-forgotten physical, mental, and emotional belongings that are often not seen to the common person. However, by focusing on the intentionality of our energy patterns, we can also find common factors in the personal and professional development of ourselves (and others). Learn not only how that is possible, but be prepared to also gain invaluable skills in how the non-verbal energy we share can be important to creating meaningful engagements in our lives.

Guest Bio

Anna is a super sensitive psychic whose passion and career as a professional house healer and paranormal specialist have allowed her to learn about and work with various types of energy beings that share the Earth realm with us. She has been psychic since birth and was thrust into the paranormal world from a young age. Initially, she was scared like everyone else, but also had an undeniable curiosity about the energy beings she could sense but not see. This inquisitiveness compelled her to learn more until now, where she currently works as a paranormal home and personal energy clearing specialist. She has learned much on this unusual and unique life journey.

Intro/Outro By: Michael Dugan, Podcast Host: Voice4Chefs

It is nearly two full months since the beginning of the New Year. Have you made resolutions that you have kept? Less than 22% of people who made resolutions have stuck with them for two months, which means more than 3/4ths of individuals have already given up. In this episode, we will re-explore past episodes where we discussed setting goals, but now ask the important question of whether you were too ambitious to begin with. How can you make your resolutions not only restart, but “bite-sized” enough to be manageable.

Intro/Outro By: Michael Dugan, Podcast Host: Voice4Chefs

What if you never get the chance to pass along to a new generation your legacy, because you were too concerned about what other people thought about you and what your story was? Are you holding something back for the world to see because of the lack of confidence? Lack of direction? Lack of ability to articulate it effectively? Michelle Vandepas, a successful publisher and coach, has helped countless individuals and businesses transform this type of thinking into successful models that have helped to create the opposite effect: lasting legacies. Today's episode discusses the importance of not letting that book that you have die inside of you, and find ways to create those lasting impressions for others to see. Even the smallest footsteps in making progress can make such a significant difference in your life, and the unlimited potential in others, to achieve that success they always wanted (and much more!)
