Our guests today are Seek Reality special favorites! Carol and Mikey Morgan are with us today for the 30th time, which is, as most of you know, a very special honor for us. Theirs is a truly amazing story! Mikey Morgan is a Sixth-Level Being who last had lived on earth in the 1600s, so he was already, back hundreds of years ago, a very advanced Being, and vibrating spiritually almost at the Godhead level. But he was very much alarmed at the way things were going on earth, and he wanted so much to help us spiritually, that he began in 1987 and ended in 2007 another quick earth-lifetime, so he could teach us in the voice and with the recent earth-experiences of a modern American 20-year-old. So now Mikey answers our questions about the afterlife, the greater reality, and whatever else you want to question him about from the sixth level of the afterlife, the level which is just below the Source level, through his mother of his most recent earth-lifetime, our dear friend Carol Morgan. Even though Carol insists to us that she never would have signed up for this!  But still, she did sign up for it.

Roberta first met Carol a few years after Carol had lost her son, Mikey, in an auto accident. Carol knew nothing about the afterlife, but Roberta has tested Mikey’s knowledge very extensively. So she can personally vouch for the fact that he is exactly who and what he claims to be.  Roberta Grimes has spent more than fifty years researching the afterlife, and the greater reality, and Mikey knows a whole lot more about all of this than Roberta does, even despite all her research! He has answered all her questions correctly, never even once making a mistake, and then he often adds extra information, which Roberta says she is confident is also accurate. So, she  can indeed vouch for our amazing friend, Mikey Morgan! He is, 100%, the REAL DEAL. Mikey communicates with us now from very near the Godhead level, and his answering our questions as he does today on Seek Reality is a wonderful gift of service to the world! Mikey’s wonderful book is called Flying High in Spirit – A Young Snowboarder’s Account of His Ride Through Heaven.

Today’s episode is with Cristine Hull, PhD, Integrative Mental Health expert and natural medicine practitioner. Bryce Hamilton, LSCSW, asks Cristine how her practice combines psychology, modern science, natural medicine, and ancient wisdom. Cristine explains how she uses the model of a “Wellness Diamond” with four corners which include: physical (medicine), emotional, mental (cognitive), and spiritual. Cristine gets vulnerable with how she started her practice and found this wellness path by being a recovering addict. Her experiences help us understand how to work through our own traumas, not just by following one set program, but by using what we learn and integrating it into our own self-determined motivation. Cristine’s work leads clients to the self-actualization that there is hope in recovery from trauma, substance abuse, or whatever they may be seeking help for, but it should be a specialized approach for each individual person. She emphasizes that it is possible to stop diseases in their tracks if caught early enough, citing her time as a school psychologist and working with kids and their families to promote healthy lifestyles early on.

This conversation will help parents understand what to look for when helping their own kids through hard times, how to recognize when a kid needs support, and how to ensure the child gets the correct support for their specific struggle. Taking care of one’s overall health is not a one-size-fits-all, and Cristine is here to help us understand how to approach situations through a whole body, mind, and spiritual model.

For us to learn perfect love and forgiveness is what this life is all about. And it was not until just a few years ago, that we found a real forgiveness expert, who taught forgiveness so well that we made her our Seek Reality GURU of forgiveness. She is our guest again today, and with us for the tenth time.

Until we found Brenda Reiss, and what she taught, we would just talk about A Course in Miracles, which Jesus channeled to us in the nineteen-sixties. The miracle that He taught in that thick blue book full of tiny print is forgiveness. THAT was the miracle! And Jesus tells us in A Course in Miracles that Forgiveness miracles all come in one size. No matter what happens in our lives, we always must, and we can, forgive it. Whatever happens!

So our guest, today is Brenda Reiss. Brenda is dedicated to helping people overcome obstacles that hold them back from living life to its fullest, by guiding them through a special Forgiveness Process. She tells us that self-forgiveness helped her to transition out of victimhood, and into the life that she herself was meant to live.

Brenda has experienced life’s obstacles firsthand, in the form of toxic relationships, eating disorders, and anxiety, which can consume everyday life, when problems like these are allowed to control our lives.

So Brenda learned HOW to forgive, and she has developed a very successful forgiveness coaching practice. She has written a great little book called Forgive, which is brief and easy to understand. I think everyone should read that book!

Dear wonderful friends, here are two key points to explain why what Brenda teaches is so important.

First, to be frank, never forget that the people who wrong us do not care whether we ever forgive them. They don’t care.

So, forgiveness of others is always the gift that we give to ourselves! And forgiveness is the greatest gift that we ever can give to ourselves, no matter how difficult it may be! Because forgiveness of others is FREEDOM.

And second, many people don’t even realize that the core problems at the center of their lives have to do with things for which they blame themselves. So, self-forgiveness may in your case be something that you really desperately need to learn! For many people, it’s a whole lot easier to forgive others than it is to forgive themselves.

So, we always have needed a Seek Reality forgiveness guru. And now we have one who is wonderful!

Have you ever wanted to give up? Do you constantly talk down on yourself? When was the last time you told yourself,  “Good job?” “You know I’m not bad looking at all!” “I deserve this cruise? This purse? This car?” Are you too hard on yourself? Do you give yourself grace?

In this segment, Dr. Vee is encouraging everyone to start being positive about the small victories and stop being consumed with the little let downs of life. Speak positivity over yourself and start learning to appreciate and celebrate the “designer’s original” that YOU are! 

On this episode of Accidental Experts, Bryce Hamilton, LSCSW, and Kristen Jacobsen, LCPC, discuss the complexities of anxiety, perfectionism, and childhood trauma. Kristen deep-dives where anxiety and perfectionism in kids start, and how they can spill into adulthood. Parenting kids with anxiety, perfectionism, OCD, or through trauma can be extremely difficult. We can make changes in our expectations as parents but it requires some “re-wiring” as well as open communication. Kristen explains that we often praise kids for accomplishing a desired outcome rather than praising the effort that goes into the task, therefore creating an environment where kids strive to please others rather than being proud of themselves. Bryce asks the question, “how do we shift to [praising] the effort” in relation to this concept. Kristen explains the importance of celebrating and praising the effort first, while also celebrating the outcome.

Bryce and Kristen also discuss how being a parent who experiences anxiety or perfectionism can impact our kids.They talk about the science and environmental factors such as our own childhood experiences that contribute to anxiety and other conditions our kids may be experiencing and how helping ourselves first can ultimately help us help our kids.

This episode is packed with helpful information for working through anxiety, perfectionism, and other related conditions alongside our kids, so be sure to listen to the full episode to learn more!

“I just can’t get motivated”.  “I know I need to (fill in the blank ___) BUT I DON’T WANNA!”.  “My motivation goes away in the afternoon, doc. Do I need a higher dose of medication?”.

What is motivation anyway? Why do we avoid, put off, get all wound up over tasks which are no big deal? And how can we find some? 

Join me and my guest Dr. Tamara Rosier as we work through those questions. Tamara is an ADHD coach, founder of the ADD Center of Central Michigan, and the author of two superb books on ADHD (Your Brain’s Not Broken and You, Me, and Our ADHD Family), among her many roles in life. She explains her methods of unpacking motivation problems and offers a re-frame on how to get going, how to create motivation on our very own. 

She tells us that people with ADHD struggle with motivation because they have erroneous expectations of consistent motivation and don’t have on-demand motivation like non-ADHD individuals. She outlined three key areas where motivation problems arise: 

Motivation is based upon emotion, which raises all kinds of complications for those of us with ADHD. 

Our discussion also explored how women with ADHD face additional challenges due to societal expectations around cleanliness and over-functioning in families, leading to shame and judgment. The “window of tolerance” is her concept for the optimal state between hyperarousal and hypoarousal, where people can think clearly about their personal situation, uncover the barriers to getting started, and learn how to use the time they are “in the time window” of tolerance, a time not disturbed by scrambling overactivity nor by mental exhaustion, to find motivation. Tamara shared practical strategies including using music, physical movement, and the shock effect of cold water (no, not poured over one’s head) to shift out of hypoarousal states. We concluded our discussion exposing some of the harmful beliefs about motivation, including the false belief that motivation requires high energy levels and that “I can’t” statements freeze us into inaction.

Listen, and learn! 

The reflection of my soul grows
Letting no one know …
It’s a beginning and an ending
Everywhere she goes it’s love that shows

Whether you see it or not
Do not wait for dry weather to show
It’s better to know her
Not later but now that show its love

She ages like the best of wines
She understands now …
It doesn’t matter
What they may say

It’s her God that stands and states
“Let the first of man
Give rise she’s not a no good but hell!”
Do it matter what you may think?

Do it stand water? All of your badness
Your cruelties and inequalities
What are your qualities that
You can stand on one hand?

How dare you find wrong in her?
Measure your ruler
Measures hers
Is it the same?

You may think
You strong
She’s weak
But He knows the real you

Whether you like it or not
If you tempt to hurt her again
You will be measure …
Not by your ruler nor rules

God has His rules … You may have your
Policy and procedures reverse
As you tried to blame her
It’s you, who’ve ruled

Now, let’s blame you
You cruel and a beast
It’s not her …
Who have stated

It is He …
Who’ve witnessed
You can’t hide nor run
Do not take out your gun to kill her

She had a shield not from this earth
You forgot you not stronger than God
It is He who knows her …
I say good bye never to come back

My prints
My love
My God
Has set me free …

In this episode, When the Life You Built No Longer Fits with Dr. Jen Moran, Gina Maier Vincent sits down with Dr. Jen Moran for a candid conversation about what happens when the life you worked so hard to create no longer feels true.

Dr. Jen Moran is a board-certified AACD restorative dentist, breast cancer survivor, mother of four, and a woman specializing in cosmetic and general dentistry. She has lived many versions of success. 

After seventeen years away from dentistry, Jen returned to her profession following the end of a twenty-plus-year marriage and a breast cancer diagnosis just six weeks later.

Together, Gina and Jen explore what happens when being “the capable one” becomes self-sacrifice, why gratitude doesn’t mean you have to stay, and how fear, grief, and excitement can coexist when you know it is time to choose differently.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

This episode continues the Self-Compassion series with a practice for something many of us forget to offer ourselves — kindness in the middle of chaos. Eartha AI guides listeners through Eye of the Hurricane Plus Awareness, using the image of a storm with a calm, steady center. We picture the storms currently swirling in our own lives — schoolwork, a mistake, a disagreement, a worry, a feeling of not being enough — and practice naming them gently: “This is my storm right now.”

From there, we learn to stand in the calm center of our own storm — noticing the wind and rain without becoming it. Breath by breath, we strengthen that steady place inside, letting hard thoughts pass through like gusts of wind rather than truths we have to fight or fix.

The episode closes with a second grounding practice, The Wheel of Awareness (adapted from PositivePsychology.com), guiding listeners through a fuller check-in with their senses, thoughts, and inner state.

Two practices, one theme: you don’t have to control the storm to find your calm.
