March 09, 2022 Ep 91: Amber Raymond | The Power of Thought … How Can Children Learn to Manage Their Emotions?
When children feel angry, worried, disappointed, surprised, lonely, or happy they can learn to manage their emotions to problem solve and find positive solutions for everyday situations.

She is a Master's level Social Worker specializing in self-awareness and self-development. She's also one of Lynn's seven beautiful nieces!
The brainstorming started almost one full year ago and has resulted in the creation of a fictitious planet, characters named after crytals who glow in the colour of their emotions and more! It's time to also introduce the creative illustrator of the series, Allysa Batin and plans for the launch of the first book, "I Have Choices". Amber is an advocate for non-conventional, evidence-based coping strategies and identifies as a loving and committed mother and friend.

February 16, 2022 Ep 88: Kathy McDaniel | Kicked Out of Heaven's Waiting Room (Content Warning // Death and Dying// Near-Death Experience)
Content Warning // Death and Dying// Near-Death Experience
While dying from lung failure in 1999, Kathy McDaniel was placed on a ventilator and into a drug-induced coma. 𝐀𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞, Kathy shares her recollections of her near-death experience in hell, a manifestation of what she believed it would be. It is graphic and a caution that her recollections for the first 8 minutes can be disturbing.
Kathy says she moved from that very dark place to Heaven's waiting room and tries to find the words to express the love, joy, and bliss she felt. The overwhelming bliss of Heaven she experienced shifted her religious beliefs to deep spirituality. Kathy prays daily to be loving, kind, merciful, forgiving, encouraging, grateful, faithful, and non-judgmental. She can't wait to "go home" again and tells us we have so much to look forward to.
Kathy credits the members of IANDS (International Association for Near-Death Studies) for her eventual integration of the Disturbing NDE, and the ability to accept the sacred mission that caused her reluctant return to Earth.
Kathy is also the author of the memoir, Misfit in Hell to Heaven Expat..
