S6EP2, When I Was In Prison Yesterday with Tracy Hunt

Tracy’s story is fascinating. In 2018, she saw a movie called “Skid Row Marathon.” It changed her life. She became passionate about helping people in prison and now makes a difference in prisons throughout California.

Tracy participates in the Born to Run Cohort, where they run with the prisoners and then hold a workshop. She is on the Board of the Compassion Prison Program, which focuses on Trauma Talks. It was founded by Fritzy Horstman. Horstman's own experiences with trauma and her realization after reading The Body Keeps the Score inspired her to start the project. The project emphasizes that trauma, particularly from adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), impacts behavior and that healing is possible for everyone, including those in prison.

Tracy suggested I read Oprah’s book “What Happened to You” — a conversation with Dr. Bruce D. Perry on trauma, resilience, and healing. Our interview, along with this book, opened my eyes to the powerful effects of trauma on our lives. I learned about regulating and dysregulating — such an awakening for me, and I hope for you too.

Thank you, Tracy, for following your passion and making a difference for these men and taking up running even though it wasn’t “your thing.”

95 Theses for the Future of America, is the sub-title of Mike Bedenbaugh's book, Reviving Our Republic. Mike's love of history, preservation and purpose compelled him to write this book that can return the USA to what it was designed to be. He bases the book on George Washington's farewell address.

Mike talks about the future that George Washington warned us about, and how to return to the principles of our constitution. Mike's background in the Navy, as director of the South Carolina preservation society, and his love for places and preservation are a perfect blend for writing this book.

Join us for an interesting conversation that covers 60 foot swells in the middle of the ocean on a 600 foot navy ship, and teaching indigenous children in rural South Carolina.

Thank you, Mike for your dedication, wisdom and commitment to our country.

Title: S5EP20, From Unfulfilled to Channelling the Divine Mother with Eva Muller

Summary:

Wow. My conversation with Eva Muller was profound. We did a meditation/energy transmission at the end that brought me into a new place. I am not the same person as I was before..

Eva felt unfulfilled her whole life. She went to law school, tried CrossFit, became a vegan, started her own business, and yet, something was missing. She took some time off and started meditating. From there, she experienced energy transmissions. While following the path it was taking her on, she had a profound experience where the Divine Mother was looking out through her eyes.

Eva kept participating in these transmissions, gaining experience in how to heal and connect others to their own spiritual awakenings.

I have experienced several of her sessions from her website, https://www.nextelevations.com/, and my life has literally opened up in ways I never thought possible.

Please watch our interview. You will experience her energy transmission towards the end. I highly recommend it.

I recommend going to her website and trying out her sessions. I believe you will thank me for it.

S5EP19, Reinventing Herself and Now Saving the World with Pam Pence

Pam Pence moved six times before the age of 15. As a Navy Brat, she learned to be independent and make things work. Living in a patriarchy with her military father, she did what she was told until the age of 50 when she started doing what she wanted. Married at 19, she waited until 37 to have her two children. She went from being an accountant, to a yoga instructor, to a yoga therapist who worked with veterans with PTSD, and finally to the executive director of Stable Planet.

She is now committed to saving the planet, one family at a time. See bio for more about Stable Planet.

Thank you, Pam, for your dedication to helping people and making the world a better place.

BIO

Pam Pence, Executive Director of Stable Planet Alliance, steers the collaborative leadership team, is a dedicated humanity and Earth Advocate, applying her business, somatic trauma healing, generative discussions facilitator and spiritual guide skills wherever she is led! She’s earned her MBA, CPA, and various certificates as yoga therapist, practitioner of healing modalities and meditation teacher over several careers. Pam awoke to our ecological overshoot and opportunity to evolve after the start of the Covid pandemic, noticing how the sheer number of humans was exacerbating all other issues. With her long-time spiritual perspective she sees that our deeply embedded belief in separation causes disconnection from ourselves, other humans, non-human beings and Earth. She is working alongside several others in providing a learning journey about our conundrum and our way forward as well as an ongoing community to support those finding the courage to speak out. In addition, she is laying plans to reach ever broader audiences with a strong dose of reality and hope--active hope as Joanna Macy named it!

Title: S5EP18, Single Mother of 5 Starts Orphanage with Bev Berry

Summary:

Imagine losing two baby boys that you carried for 9 months? Bev Berry had this happen. She wondered what the universe could possibly be teaching her. She ended up adopting two baby girls. After experiencing the difficulties of the adoption process, she opened an adoption center and placed 300 babies over 6 years. Even though she had no experience opening one, she just figured it out and did it.

Bev raised 5 children (she already had 3 boys when she lost the other 2) as a single mother. Yet Bev doesn't complain. She just creates the next thing for her life.

Tune in to this riveting conversation as we trace Bev's incredibly inspiring life all the way across America in an RV and ending up in Costa Rica where she lives now.

Thank you, Bev, for the difference you make everywhere you are.

Bio:

Bev retired in 2015, bought an RV and traveled around the United States for 6 years. Then deciding it was time to put down roots for the remainder of her life, she moved to Costa Rica in 2021.

At this point, she thought, “What am I going to do for the next 20 or 30 years since people are living longer and longer?"

Not one to sit still and deteriorate, Bev decided to write a book. She finished it in one year. However, the editing and publishing part has taken longer than she anticipated. Keep an eye out for her book, Angel Babies Forever - A Memoir.

Always a searcher, learner, and teacher, Bev decided to continue her spiritual journey and became a licensed Spiritual Counselor and a Certified Angel Communicator and Oracle Card Reader.

She enjoys a fulfilling and fun filled life in Costa Rica where she has made tons of friends and plans to continue to Write, Coach, and Counsel anyone who is interested in opening up their mind, heart, and soul to all the possibilities the world has to offer.

Having been a teacher, an entrepreneur owning retail stores and training companies, an employment specialist, founder and Executive Director of an Adoption Center, Bev will never stop helping others and growing herself.

Her favorite quote is: “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” - Eleanore Roosevelt

Her advice: Never give up on your dreams, yourself, life, people, or the world. Just keep on believing that everything is going to work out because life happens FOR you, not TO you.

Title: S5EP17, I Was Given A Gift in the Pain with Cage Rattler Dr. Bridget Cooper

Summary:

I felt like I was being split in two. I read two of Dr. Bridget Cooper's books at the same time. "Unflappable: How Smart People Quit Overthinking. Ditch the Drama. & Thrive at Work" was one of them. Dr. Cooper teaches us 70 techniques that help us solve problems differently at work and take our power back.

The second book, "little landslides," talks about her childhood where she was sexually, physically, and verbally abused by her father and mother. After trying to kill herself 3 times as a teenager, Dr. Cooper tells us about her choice to either end it or begin a new life.

This interview is fascinating from many points of view:

- if you are still hiding your shame and trauma

- if you were abused and think it was your fault

- if you just feel stuck, victimized, and powerless

- if you are having interpersonal conflict at work

- if you are feeling stress and don't know how to reduce it

And I could go on and on. Dr. Cooper has 21 years of experience studying people, brain science, why people do what they do, and how to thrive. Don't miss this powerful and insightful interview.

Title: S5EP13, Who Else Cares About What You Care About? Creating Intergenerational Communities That Change the World with Renee Beth Poindexter

Summary:

Renee Beth was curious about how people learn, what makes people tick, what they care about and who else cares about that. She followed the thread of her questions to many different career paths, entrepreneurial ventures, and life adventures.

At one point she got burned out. She was diagnosed with chronic fatigue and took six months off to heal herself. She started working with plants, and reconnected to nature. Through introspection, prayer and healing she gained a spiritual understanding that we are not machines and discovered more of who she is meant to be. She currently has no more evidence of having chronic fatigue. That is remarkable.

Renee Beth also worked with children and business people and saw what they could accomplish together. She started creating intergenerational communities that combine curiosity,, creativity, and the wisdom of different ages and experiences. "What if community is the answer for everything?" she asks.
