What Nobody Tells You

In this soulful conversation, host James Ferrigno welcomes Lisa Geren, co-founder of Radiant Spaces, a Bay Area company specializing in energetic space clearing. Lisa shares her fascinating journey from working in palliative and hospice care to becoming a Reiki Master, Acutonics practitioner, and energy healer who helps people uplift their homes and environments.

Lisa explains how energy accumulates in our spaces, both from our own emotions and from past occupants, and how intentional clearing can bring relief, inspiration, and renewal. From working with sound and tuning forks to performing full home and land clearings, she illustrates how energy medicine and gratitude can literally change the feeling and function of a space.

The discussion also explores:

• The connection between emotional well-being and our physical environments
• How sound frequencies can release pain and stagnation in the body and home
• Why gratitude and neutrality are energetic tools for transformation
• How intuition guides her work and the sacred act of being invited into someone’s space
• Real-life stories of transformation, from grief-filled homes to radiant, harmonious places

Lisa also offers practical tools anyone can use to elevate their environment, from clapping in the corners of rooms to clearing closets and caring for the “mouth of chi” at the front door.

This episode is a reminder that your home is alive, and that caring for your space is a sacred act of self-care.

 This week on Say It Anyway, music promoter KC Turner joins James Ferrigno to share how he turned a simple open-mic idea into one of the most trusted live-music brands in the Bay Area.

KC takes us from performing Elvis songs as a kid in Missouri, to hosting house concerts, to producing 700-ticket shows that artists and fans love. He reveals how he built his community — not with big budgets, but with passion, relationships, and the willingness to take huge risks.
We dig into the state of the Bay Area music scene, the challenges independent venues are facing, and KC’s mission to keep high-quality live music accessible — without squeezing fans dry on ticket prices.

Above all, KC’s journey is a powerful reminder that success happens when you leap before you feel ready. If you’re building your own path — especially in the arts — this episode is for you.

In this powerful episode of Say It Anyway, James Ferrigno sits down with Dave from Limitless Brave — a men’s coach who’s spent over 15 years helping men reclaim their confidence, face their fears, and live from authentic masculine power.

From his surprising beginnings as a professional wingman in Washington D.C. to building global men’s coaching companies, Dave’s journey reveals the real meaning of courage and self-awareness. He shares how conquering his paralyzing fear of flying led him to skydiving around the world — and how that same process of facing fear applies to emotional wounds, trauma, and modern masculinity.

Together, James and Dave explore how men can break free from the “nice guy” trap, set healthy boundaries, and transform the stories that keep them small. They discuss the cultural collapse of strong male role models, the epidemic of emotional repression, and why radical self-responsibility is the key to healing, purpose, and freedom.

This conversation will challenge what you think it means to be strong — and invite you to rediscover your own power from the inside out.

If you’ve ever felt stuck despite your best efforts, this conversation will help you see that freedom doesn’t come from adding more—it comes from letting go of what no longer serves you.

Detailed Show Notes

In this follow-up conversation, James and Dominic pick up where Part 1 left off, diving into the subtleties of control, intuition, and healing.

Highlights from this episode:

• Control as a survival mechanism vs. an expansive tool for growth
• Why judgment and rigidity often create more pain than progress
• The metaphor of the scared animal and how it relates to safety and expansion
• Intuition vs. ego — learning to hear the “pure hit” that comes from beyond the story
• Healing as subtraction, not addition — letting go rather than trying to “fix” yourself
• Boundaries as a sacred energetic practice for clarity and wholeness
• Misconceptions about healing: why you were never broken to begin with
• Dominic’s core message: “Keep it simple — though it’s not easy. You are already whole.”

Whether you’re navigating personal challenges or supporting others on their path, Dominic’s wisdom offers a gentle yet powerful reminder: your essence is intact, and healing is about remembering and honoring that truth.
