"What's Next?" With Steve Blasen

Had a very interesting podcast with Ms. Elena Nezhinsky. We discuss topics such as Enlightenment, meditating, transforming, spiritual awakening, escaping pain from childhood, conditioning from generations, and conformity just to name a few. Elena has traveled the world trying to make sense of it all and continues to seek the truth. This podcast was recorded on December 14, 2021.

Lisa Leininger, a Kinesiology professor, and Jackie Grallo, Interim dean of the library became friends after meeting at work at CSUMB. Lisa, an avid runner and athlete, wrangled Jackie into the sport. They discuss their careers as well as the training behind marathon preparation and marathon participation during the pandemic.

Austin Palacios came in looking for some pain relief and we hit it off right off the bat. With common interests such as cars, music, blue collar work, this podcast was like shootin the shit with a friend. From growing up in his family restaurant, starting up his own auto detailing business, to doing stand up comedy to so much more, Austin knew the value of hard work at a young age. He also finds himself asking What's Next? Where does he go? What does he do? What is important? This podcast was recorded in November 09, 2021.

Cherri Metzger is one of my clients and a wonderful human! As she slowly transitions to the R stage of life (retirement,) she is asking herself what is her purpose in life. What is up with the world today? Cheryl came into my studio looking for pain relief after many years of working with her hands and body. I soon came to find out she also worked almost 20 years as a massage therapist in the Bay Area servicing movie stars, royalty, and the like. When her hands and wrists gave out, she found herself back with her first love, Agriculture. In the latter part of her career in Ag, she finds herself filling unfulfilling roles in someone else's dream. At the time of this interview in September of 2021, she was working with a large ag company in charge of safety and training. Now, she is somewhere living off the grid and I am looking forward to checking in with Cheryl real soon! Stay Tuned! 

This is our very first podcast and we are honored to have this charismatic and amazing human being. Recorded in September 2021. Benjamin Forest served 25 years in the Air Force before retiring this year. From an eclectic childhood and upbringing, to the regimented life and commitment of both the military and marriage, he has a very interesting story to tell. Now a civilian, Benjamin is on a quest for healing, spiritual awakening, and finding a new purpose. Scarred by life and the military, Benjamin is seeking alternative methods of healing and describes how psilocybin helped him heal.
