Technically, we are all adopted (if you ascribe to the idea of God and heavenly parentage). This episode is an incredible discussion on WAITING. Have you ever had a dream that just doesn't seem to be happening but you can't let it go—it just "lives" in you? Even though you may not be personally touched by adoption, you will find this discussion meaningful – it's about never giving up.

In this episode:

• Follow the "peace" – YES – but sometimes you have to Follow the "chaos"
• How to discern whether or not you have a child waiting to come to you
• Why is WAITING such a powerful practice?

April Fallon is the adoptive mother of four children. She has a background in family counseling, which she applied while working and living in Africa for three years. She met with success working in TV and radio for more than a decade when she and her husband, Noah, started their first adoption journey.

It all started with her own radio program that eventually turned into the international podcast you hear today.

Suffocating sadness, feelings of sinking, drowning in the depths, the ache of deep self-loathing…How and why does depression strike in spiritual people? Join me as I tackle this sensitive topic with Jane Clayson Johnson, an award-winning, nationally syndicated journalist and author of Silent Souls Weeping – Depression: Sharing Stories, Finding Hope. One of her life purposes as a mother, a woman of faith and a journalist is to shine a light on the desperate, dark, and lonely reality faced by those who struggle with clinical depression. Jane shares her own difficult experiences, along with others – particularly in the sociocultural context of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). Suicide is the leading cause of death for Utahns ages 10 to 17 and ages 18 to 24. It is the second leading cause of death for ages 25 to 44 and the fourth-leading cause of death for ages 45-64. Utah's Public Health Indicator Based Information System reports, "Completed suicides are only part of the problem. More people are hospitalized or treated in an emergency room for suicide attempts than are fatally injured. In 2014, the most recent data year available, 13 Utahns were treated for self-inflicted injuries every day." Or, listen on your favorite app: iTunes (Apple Podcasts) | Spotify | Stitcher | Android| RadioPublic | Google Play Jane offers unique research and understanding on depression and suicide.

In this episode:

• Why do we work so hard to "prop up the façade" and hide our flaws, rather than get real and transparent?
• How does cultural and familial shame contribute to situational depression?
• Why is there such a stigma about depression in religious and spiritual communities?
• How does "toxic perfectionism" come into play?

What is a shared-death experience? You will find out on this fascinating episode, The Veil Pt 2, where I interview Dr. Jeff O'Driscoll, an attending emergency room physician while Jeff Olsen (in the previous podcast episode, The Veil Pt 1) was fighting for his life. While in the hospital room, Dr. Jeff shared a profound "lifting of the veil" experience with a nurse wherein they beheld Jeff Olsen's wife who had passed on that day. Through this and other veil-rending experiences throughout his life, Dr. Jeff – like Jeff Olsen in the previous episode – has developed a larger vision for humanity and a respect for the unique paths of each human soul. After decades as a trauma one emergency room physician, he is now doing healing work and speaking full time. His book, Not Yet: Near Life Experiences and Lessons Learned is a 2018 Best of State Award Winner.

Dr. Jeff O'Driscoll's personal mission creed is, "I exist to help souls heal." Beautiful, isn't it?

In this episode:

• What actually IS "the veil"?
• His profound experience with a homeless man in the Emergency Room
• Why it is imperative that we allow someone else the freedom to walk their own spiritual path, even – and especially – if it is not ours.
• What he would say to someone who says God respects our free agency and so, "He does not intervene."
• Why is it so important to be OPEN to truth, in whatever source it comes from?
• And the bomb… Is there just "one way" to follow God?

If you missed the previous episode, Episode 019: The Veil Pt 1: Beyond Religion, Beyond Beliefs, Beyond Death, please go back and listen! Jeffery C. Olsen shares how all of life is in divine order and how belief systems can really mess with our souls. (and not in a good way!) Plus, he shares his absolutely incredible near-death experience and trauma of losing his wife and their toddler son – as well as his leg. I love the hearts and souls of these two Jeffs, my brothers in truth!

These next 2 episodes – The Veil Pt 1 & 2 – turned out to be very special. Jeffery C. Olsen was the driver of the car involved in a horrific accident that claimed the lives of his wife and toddler son. He had a profound near-death experience where he met his wife on the other side – she knew it wasn't his time, although it was hers – and he returned to a battered and pain-wracked physical body. After years of suffering and healing and trying to make sense of it all, Jeff developed "a new spiritual mind and heart" and thus, a totally new way of looking at life. Together, Jeff and I explore the deeper meaning of spirituality, religion and truth. He's the creative director of BYU-tv, an international speaker, a spiritual healer, and bestselling author of the book "Knowing: Memoirs of a Journey Beyond the Veil and Choosing Joy After Tragic Loss." Jeff says his greatest joy comes from being a husband and father.

Be sure and tune in to the next episode, The Veil Pt 2 with Dr. Jeff O'Driscoll, who was an attending surgeon in the room while Jeff Olsen was fighting for his life, and who shared a profound beyond the veil experience with Jeff's wife who had passed on that day. I love the hearts and souls of these two Jeffs, my brothers in truth!

In this episode:

• Does God actually have a "favorite" people?
• What is the "knowing" that transcend thoughts and beliefs?
• What is the difference between religious practice and the "higher law"?
• How do you embrace your own divinity? (and is this a sacrilege?)

I loved it when he said, "All great leaders throughout history embraced their own divinity."

When I talk with my friend Jen, little earthquakes happen -- and that DEFINITELY happened this time. Our conversation went a direction we hadn't anticipated! Jennifer Marco is an extremely gifted professional singer and mother and healer and vocal instructor and follower of Jesus. I like her soul-based approach to life. She's super real, especially as it relates to getting unstuck, calling out distortion and coming back to the heart of things. She believes that when we are ourselves, the world changes and heals. Who else is there to be...but YOU? This particular episode does not skirt around things; we get really REAL and have the audacity to ask some tough spiritual questions. We decided to name it: Jesus, Table Flipping & Traditions.

In this episode:

• Getting past the obsession and fear of being wrong
• What was Jesus' deeper message? (and what really upset Him…?)
• How do we discern what is ours and what is someone - or something - else's?
• Can you stand out and be willing to be judged?

You can find Jennifer Nicole Marco on Facebook!

Nithya Shanti - internationally acclaimed spiritual teacher from India - has personally mentored me through some of my most intense life experiences! He's a former Buddhist Monk and Ambassador of Conscious Living, who also holds an MBA. When I first met him about 6 years ago, I was struck with his very joyful countenance and peaceful way of being. You will love his depth of wisdom and his amazing insight! One of his favorite things to say - in pretty much ANY circumstance- is, "How Wonderful."

In this episode:

• What is "Spiritual Bypassing"?
• What are the 3 Levels of Truth?
• How do we become as a "Serene Lake" in a stressful world?

He even addresses the age-old question from every truth seeker, of every faith tradition, "WHERE IS GOD?" (particularly in times of acute trauma, loss or abuse).

Here's a truth bomb Nithya recently shared with me: "If I accept the fact that my relationships are here to make me conscious, instead of happy, then my relationships become a wonderful SELF MASTERY TOOL that keeps re-aligning me with my higher purpose for living." Eckhart Tolle
