    • Episode 39: Allowing Music To Be a Guiding Force with Grammy Nominated Composer and Artist Cheryl B. Engelhardt

      This week on The Bliss Project Podcast, we are thrilled to share with you Episode 39: Allowing Music To Be a Guiding Force with Grammy Nominated Composer and Artist Cheryl B. Engelhardt.

      Cheryl is a GRAMMY®-Nominated New Age Composer and Recording Artist. She has been a musician for as long as she can remember. But it wasn't always New Age (or was it???) - she’s made music for commercials, trailers, films, meditation apps, and social justice choirs plus her own four pop records, all before landing inside New Age.

      The reason she writes music - usually while she is having some sort of experience like traveling cross country on a train or stuck in a half-abandoned mountain town in Greece - is to ground, center, relax, and empower listeners so they can have their own experience.

      Cheryl is also a  trauma-informed master coach and uses that skill set to mentor other independent musicians as well, in her mastermind AMPLIFY.

      In this episode we discuss:

      • Cheryl’s background in music and what led her to where she is today.
      • How music has been a guiding force in her life.
      • How her passion and career in music have evolved over the years. 
      • What inspired her journey to become a trauma-informed master coach and how this work has played into her music career. 
      • How her own personal and spiritual journey led her into making her first New Age Album. 
      • How a train trip across the country to heal her grief birthed her Grammy-nominated Album The Passenger.
      • The amazing moment she found out she was nominated for a Grammy.
      • Her vision and knowing that she would one day be nominated.
      • Her own daily practices and commitment to her own spiritual journey.

        Megan lost her father in a plane crash around ten years ago; which also came on the heels of her losing her brother to a car accident when she was younger. The subsequent events and mental health issues brought her to rock bottom, but the adversity didn't destroy her. Learning to find happiness in despair led her to random acts of kindness, which she then turned into a movement that has inspired millions of people.

        She has been featured as a guest on KTLA, Good Morning LA-LA Land, Spectrum News and more, and she is extremely passionate about telling the story of kindness because she feels it can really help others, especially those struggling with mental health.

        In the episode we discuss:

        • How Megan’s story of loss and finding her passion in random acts of kindness helped her heal.
        • How her own journey led to her birthing the Kind Effect Movement.
        • Taking a first date along for the adventure of offering kindness and the story and inspiration behind the “Kindosaur”.
        • The importance of Kindness in Mental health support.
        • Small steps you can take each day to be a little more kind and offer your own random acts of kindness.
        • How she has taken this movement internationally by combining her passion for kindness and travel.

          • Episode 35: Living in Full Bloom- A full Sensory Experience with Viola Floral founder Jelena Trifunovic

            This week on The Bliss Project Podcast, we're excited to share Episode 35: Living in Full Bloom- A full Sensory Experience with Viola Floral founder Jelena Trifunovic.

            Jelena grew up in Serbia and moved to the US at the start of the Yugoslav war in the early 1990s. Always drawn to nature, Jelena studied biology and became a science teacher to at-risk youth in South Central Los Angeles. She enjoyed sharing her love of science and nature with students of all ages, which eventually led her to teach at the university level. After the passing of her mother in 2016, Jelena felt inspired to follow her passion for floral design and launched Viola Floral. Her combined love for flowers, design, education, and the beauty of life, has inspired her to continuously reinvent how we experience flowers.

            “My journey as a florist originated in my family’s kitchen. I recall spending countless holidays and family events arranging flowers with my mom, sharing stories, sipping wine, laughing, and blooming with love and joy. Although she’s no longer beside me, our bond lives on through flowers. For me, Viola Floral pays homage to the women who raise us and uplift us, through all walks of life. Like flowers, they continually remind us to live in full bloom.”

            Viola Floral is a luxury floral design studio in Los Angeles. Drawing inspiration from the best each season has to offer, Viola Floral creates custom florals and experiences that bring events to life and invite clients to live in full bloom. Viola Floral specializes in arrangements and bouquets, floral design classes, bespoke gift boxes, events, and floral experiences for brands and partners.

            In the episode we discuss:

            • Jelena's story and what inspired her to begin Viola Floral
            • How her relationship with her mother and growing up in Serbia influenced her passion for flowers 
            • Realizing in the depth of her pain, that she could find meaning and purpose through flowers
            • How focusing on her own healing after her mother's death not only helped her, but was the groundwork for helping others
            • The mental health benefits of flowers
            • How aligning with your purpose, by following your passion, can organically happen

                  This week on The Bliss Project Podcast, we're excited to share Episode 32: Personal Journey Through Healing a Chronic Illness and a Spinal Cord Injury Led to Becoming a Holistic Coach and Practitioner, with Tara Smith.

                  • Episode 31: The Essence that is The Class with Erin Ward

                    Welcome to The Bliss Project Podcast!  In today’s episode, we chat with our wonderful guest, Erin Ward from The Class.

                    IN A WORLD THAT FORCES US TO SUPPRESS HOW WE FEEL, THE CLASS ENCOURAGES EMOTIONAL RELEASE

                    The Class is a fun and challenging workout that combines strength training, cardio, and mindfulness to help you feel better. Through continued practice, students develop tools to empower their life, along with an incredibly strong, resilient, body. The result: a mental clearing and emotional release. Founded and created by Taryn Toomey, she learned early on that her internal compass was grounded in her ability to self-regulate with movement and music. Driven by a sense of connection to spirit, she immersed herself in different rituals, ceremonies, prayer, spiritual traditions, and psychotherapy work, unknowingly seeding the foundation for what would later become The Class. 

                    As a Teacher of The Class, Erin's classes are born out of a deep reverence for the miraculous and mysterious nature of the body and what it contains. There was a time when she saw her body as something she needed to fix, change, and shape. Through spiritual practice and dedication to love, she now moves and teaches from the wonder and awe of what it means to be here—alive and embodied. She hopes students leave her classes feeling wrapped in an ignited cocoon of self-love, trust, and empowerment after having moved their vessel in a way that contacts their own mystery and miracle.

                    In this episode we discuss:

                    • What exactly is The Class and why this is her favorite question to answer
                    • How she became involved with The Class and one of its first instructors here in Los Angeles
                    • The Powerful community that The Class has built
                    • The Class founder Taryn Toomey and where her vision for The Class was birthed from
                    • Erin’s own healing journey and evolution with The Class
                    • How The Class grew through the online platform during the pandemic
                    • The different offerings and variations to take the practice of The Class deeper
                    • The freedom The Class offers through movement, sound and the ability to be real
                    • The opening of the LA studio, today Sept. 15th, 2022, in Santa Monica and the beauty that is this space

                    From the publisher's feed

                    We decided to start this podcast to share topics and information we are passionate about, and our intention is to share a positive message as we dive into wellness, spirituality, self-love, alignment and how life evolves along the way... And while having fun, of course.
