    • Episode 19- Relax, Renew, Rejuvenate...The Healing Abilities of Light Therapy with Scott Kennedy

      Welcome to The Bliss Project Podcast!  In today’s episode, we chat with our friend, Scott Kennedy.

      Scott is a certified laser/light specialist and health coach. In 2018, he started the first light therapy wellness center in New Jersey where he meet with clients from all walks of life, all ages, and with the gambit of issues: marathon runners with shin splints; bodybuilders with chronic shoulder pain;  weekend warriors with back tightness; and those suffering from autoimmune diseases, neuropathies, concussions, skin issues, anxiety, and depression.

      He began his journey when he suffered from peripheral neuropathy. He saw countless doctors and tried countless remedies with only limited relief. He went from running ultra marathons and boxing to being sedentary. He couldn’t even wear socks and shoes without burning pain and inflammation. If you are a person that uses physical activity to alleviate stress like him,  you know the inability to be as active as he wanted to be contributed to increased stress, anxiety, and depression.

      Needless to say, he was more than skeptical when he began using light therapy. The change took time but was incredible! Within 4 months of treatment, his symptoms decreased by over 80%.

      The improvements he felt from light therapy were life-altering. He is now back to running and boxing and living life. His goal is to now help others get back to doing what they enjoy in life, without pain, and without meds.

      He began LightpathLED home use panels for his clients who couldn’t see him on a regular basis or for those who were just too far away from his wellness center. He researched for months to find the right manufacturer that could take his ideas for wavelengths, power, size as well as his demands for safety and quality, and put together the best panel on the market.  LightpathLED now has panels that surpass the competition at a lower price point as well as panels with multiple wavelengths and pulsing, which no other company is doing. So whether you’re coming in for specialized treatment, or using our home use panels, his commitment is to your health and safety while keeping your budget in mind.

      In this episode we discuss:

      • What is Light therapy, more specifically Red Light Therapy
      • How Working in Dental health led to his research into Light therapy
      • His personal journey and how Light Therapy has healed and changed his life
      • Why he began his Wellness Center and Why he felt the need to create at-home devices
      • Red Light, Blue Light, Green Light and how they all can assist in healing the body
      • The different strengths of lights how different settings affect the body
      • LoghtpathLED and the science behind their lights

          Like all worthwhile endeavors in life, the path to becoming a psychotherapist and certified coach was long, challenging and incredibly rewarding. They have shaped her into the effective practitioner she is today.

          After graduating from Duke University, she earned my master’s in social work from New York University and her license in clinical social work in New York and California., She underwent eight years of specialized training in family and couple therapy at The Ackerman Institute a two-year postgraduate program at Fielding University, for personal coaching.  She has completed the National Institute for Psychotherapies psychoanalytic year-long training and completed three levels of training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

            • Episode 15- A Sassy Little Conversation about Laughter Assisting Us all Through Life’s Challenges with Sandra Ann Miller

              Welcome to The Bliss Project Podcast!  In today’s episode, we chat with our friend Sandra Ann Miller.

              Sandra is a writer of wrongs. Author of A Sassy Little Guide to Getting Over Him (2006), she believes that laughter and real talk help folks get through life's challenges. After all the “it” 2020 threw at us (you can spell that it with a capital S-H), there needed to be a little podcast with meaningful conversations—plus a lot of heart and a little bit of swearing—about what we're going through, dealing with and want to move past. In October 2020, A Sassy Little Podcast for Getting Over It was born. The weekly podcast has interviews with experts, celebrities, and everyday people who've faced seemingly insurmountable circumstances, and came out the sassier for it.

              Change isn't for sissies, though, and a good sense of humor is helpful. The insights shared by the guests can inspire us to shift our perspectives and make whatever changes we need or want to make in our own lives.


              Sandra explains, "Happiness is a choice. We forget that, but being happy is a decision we can make every day or even minute by minute. It's sort of like a superpower when you think about it. It's the same with getting over something. We can take steps toward that whenever we choose. We just have to remember to choose it."

              In this episode, we discuss:

              • Sandra defining herself as the “writer of wrongs,” and the path that led her to being a writer.
              • The Inspiration behind A Sassy Little Guide To Getting Over Him and why this book was such a success.
              • The one superpower we all have within us and why something so simple can lead to so much growth and joy.
              • The challenges that come after the past 18 months and how The Sassy Littel Podcast for Getting Over It was born.
              • Sandra's other collection of books she has written and what is inspiring her today.

                      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.
