  • My interview with Jim Marshall
    I interviewed Jim Marshall Jim is an author and developer of the Septemics system, which is a system based on the Hierarchies of Human Phenomena Analysis, Prediction and Management of Human Affairs. He holds several degrees and Graduated from St. Francis Xavier College Prep, New York City, a school for advanced students, age 17. Awarded New York State Board of Regents academic college scholarship, age 17. Entered Manhattan University School of Engineering, age 17. Graduated Bachelor of Science cum laude from City University of New York, age 22. Extensive experience tutoring many subjects, including Math, English, Science, Social Studies, and Music. Extensive experience giving seminars, managing groups, and public speaking. Jim has forty years of experience as a successful personal counselor/facilitator, utilizing Biofeedback and Socratic Dialog to bring Ethics, Self-realization, and Enlightenment to hundreds of clients of every description.
    Jim Marshall is a polymathic scholar and autodidact who has devoted over 50,000 hours to studying and practicing multiple dimensions of human development. While still an undergraduate, he began the study of “alternative” Arts and Sciences which today would be described as Transformational and Holistic. Eventually, he became a professional practitioner and, after 28 years of formal education, had a long career as a Human Development Engineer. Jim has integrated the best aspects of the most advanced techniques on the planet and expanded their limits through his own Research and Discovery. Along with the invention of the Septemics system, he also developed several consciousness-expanding systems, including Multi-Dimensional Processing, Conflict Matrix Processing, and the Tripartite Path to Human Development. His expertise includes psychology, philosophy, theology, parapsychology, science, engineering, mathematics, law, literature, history, metaphysics, military science, political science, physical culture, and music.
    Jim stated that the purpose of Septemics is to empower one to understand and consequently master The Game of Life, by affording one a system by which one might better analyze the characteristics and behaviors of groups and individuals, in various situations and contexts. Practical use of a philosophic approach, gives one the patterns of life-as-we-know-it, in a wide variety of applications. As with any other tool, some persons will be better able to apply it than others, but it is intended for use in real-life situations by anyone intelligent enough to understand it, and wise enough to use it.
    I encourage everyone to buy his book follow him and be transformed by his insights.

  • My interview with Debra Lynne Driscoll
    I interviewed Debra Lynne Driscoll. Debra is a magic weaver, spiritual teacher, author, and the creator of BIG LIFE MAGIC.
    Debra has practiced and taught spiritual development and healing practices for over twenty-five years and takes great delight in activating magic in others. Her expertise; Reiki Master, TCM Practitioner, Meditation and Intuition Teacher, Grief Guide, Oracle, and Energy Reader, and Master Storyteller.
    Debra is the author of A Series of Surrender ~ A Memoir of Grief. In 2022, Debra will be writing and crafting her second book, Surrendering to Magic.
    Debra is the Creator of BIG LIFE MAGIC, a community of magic-curious people seeking to align their lives with their spirit and the magic of the universe.
    Debra believes we all have magic within us and by accessing our magic we activate our ability to be the best healers and teachers for ourselves and others. Using intuitive guidance, spiritual practice, and storytelling, Debra helps people tap into their magic so they can heal, transform, and expand. I invite people into their own Big Life MAGIC.
    Debra believes that our big life losses are the pathway to our big life magic, every loss or challenge offers a lesson and each lesson offers the opportunity to strengthen our energetic hearts and invite more love and in turn more magic into our lives.
    This belief was developed and strengthened in my journey from single mother to grieving mother. In 2013 my son Sage, aged 11, unexpectedly died. The question I asked myself in the days following was; “Will my spiritual practice and all I know about healing be enough to keep my head above the waves of grief?” The answer I found was many-layered and a resounding yes!
    According to her, she found more than magic, Debra found a desire for a big life! She found new purpose, new love, expressions of joy, new tools to navigate hurt and loss, and a deeper understanding of our soul potential. She vowed NOT to live a little life.
    As a magical guide, I support others to transition from loss to love, from disenchantment to enchantment, from ordinary to the extraordinary. Debra now helps people to tap into their magic so they can transform and expand.
    I encourage everyone to buy her books, follow her, and be transformed through her insights.

  • My interview with Dr. Samreen Mongillo
    I interviewed Dr. Samreen Mongillo. Dr. Mongillo is a physical therapist and a success and life coach. She earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) and a Personal Training Certification from ACE (The American Council on Exercise). Additionally, she holds an Advanced Belief Clearing Practitioner Certification from The Clearing Academy (Dr. Joe Vitale), and a Jack Canfield Success Principles Certified Trainer.
    Dr. Mongillo teaches people how to own their power, develop a strong mindset, remedy burnout, and make use of seven tools that promote a healthier lifestyle and greater life balance. Her true passion is about coaching the individual to believe in their self-worth, to be the most confident version of themselves, to connect to their highest potential, and help them live their best life. As a physical therapist for over a decade, Dr. Mongillo stated that she has observed a strong correlation between the mind and body. When her physical therapy patients focus on pain, they experience more pain. When they focus on healing, they experience more healing. Guiding people to think about positive outcomes almost always delivers positive results it's the very essence of the law of attraction. You cannot separate mind and body.
    Dr. Mongillo believes that many life coaches talk about the importance of changing their clients' limiting beliefs, yet not many of them will teach them HOW. Dr. Mongillo will teach you how to use https://coachingbysamreen.com/my-program/ols/products/xn-seven-tools-of-transformation-with-samreen-yj70a (the seven tools that transform).

  • My Interview with Mary J Held
    I interviewed Mary J. Held. Mary's life was almost totally shut down due to seizures. She didn’t know she had complex PTSD, mainly from sexual assaults. She was misdiagnosed with stress, epilepsy, and finally conversion disorder. The talk therapy for conversion disorder helped her some, and she went from five years of being unable to work to working nine hours a week, with a few additional forays out into the world After five years of the half-life and 10 total years with seizures, she knew she wanted more. Someone suggested she try a therapy called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). After 16 EMDR sessions, she processed numerous traumas and regained her joy in living. Her book, Unfreezing Trauma: My Personal Journal of EMDR Recovery tells the story of her journey out of the darkness
    Mary was born and raised in southern Ohio in a very Catholic family. She went to Michigan State University and upon graduation, went into social work. Although those were happy, productive years, alcohol was beginning to cause problems in her life. After a few years in social work, she developed into an alcoholic and that addiction became her life. When she finally got sober, she went back to MSU for a degree in physics but changed her major to mathematics. She found her passion in teaching remedial mathematics. For years her life went well, but both her childhood and adult traumas were still there. There came a day when, as she later described, ” a wall in my mind started to crack”. She began having seizures, which gradually became worse until she basically stayed at home most of the time. Then came the recommendation that she try EMDR. She read about it, and found a great therapist—and after four months of therapy, she regained her life.
    Part of her therapy was keeping a journal. When she finished the therapy, she wanted to use her journal to tell the world about EMDR and ensure that others consumed with trauma would know there was a way out. Her therapist agreed and contributed her comments to the sessions. But Mary was overwhelmed by the thought of publishing her private thoughts and the whole mechanics of getting published. She went on in her life, teaching math, staying sober, and enjoying friends and family, but the book was still in the back of her mind. Then fifteen years later, she witnessed the heroic testimony of Christine Blasey Ford and the #MeToo movement. Inspired by the bravery of women going public with their stories, she finally pushed herself to finish her book. She is publishing it to give hope to all the people who suffer from PTSD as well as their family members, friends, and therapists.
    After finishing the therapy sessions presented in her book, Mary earned her Master’s degree at Michigan State University in Higher, Adult, and Lifelong Education received a post-graduate certification as a Developmental Educator and developed a nationally recognized program to help students upgrade their math skills for college.
    I encourage everyone to buy her book follow her and be transformed through her insights.

  • My interview with Radavie Riom
    I interviewed Radavie Riom. Radavie was deeply affected by her childhood traumas. Although she was one of nine children, she felt singled out by her mother who continually targeted her with judgment, blame, and threats. She was even accused by her mother of her difficult childbirth. While growing up, her mother would threaten to sell Radavie in the market. There was also physical abuse. She withdrew from her family spending most of her early years alone.
    Being a highly sensitive person, allowed Radavie to see and feel things that others could not. In her sadness, she would comfort herself by staying alone and living in her world of contemplation. She continued asking, “Why was I born?” “What is the meaning of life?” She desperately wanted to understand and know God. She held the thought of God so deeply that it was the ribbon of light that weaved through the tapestry of her life.
    Radavie entered the world of business and started two successful enterprises. Yet, this was not enough to fill her deep yearning for God. So she walked away from the business world to follow and fulfill her deep and mysterious calling to come home to Spirit.
    A breakthrough came when she was in her late thirties. In the midst of a deep and painful emotional relationship, the wounded little girl whom she rejected all those years suddenly appeared before her. She had no choice but to face her. In spite of the desire to continue being separate, she now had to release the wounded past and experience the emotions held by the little girl.
    That was her path to freedom and completely shifted her self-perception. In that instant a veil lifted and she was Spiritually Awakened: she experienced that her essential nature was never the wounded child and that the doubts and fears that she held as her identity, were never who she was.
    Spirit refers to Radavie as “Mother to the Wounded Children.” Her desire is to serve others who are ready to free themselves from haunting and stuck memories. Radavie serves from her soul’s contract by assisting her clients in the way she healed her own wounds. Healing the adult starts with healing the child. As a highly sensitive person, her intuition and devotion, coupled with Divine Guidance, are the life spring from which she serves clients to live a more awakened life.
    For 30 years Radavie has served thousands to release the veils of who they are not. From her own experience, she has realized that our tender hearts cannot experience true peace until the True Self, the Divine Spark that we are is unveiled.
    Radavie’s search for God has ended. She now sees God in the mirror … the same mirror that reflects you. Many faces, One Spirit.
    I encourage everyone to follow her and be transformed through her insights.
