BravefullA Soul to Soul Conversation with Rachel AwesFrom a human connection standpoint, wouldn't it be better if we all were more childish, just playing and showing up just the way we are? To our guest, the fabulous Rachel Awes, even if it sounds cliche, the world would be a much better place if all of us moved from the softness of our hearts. Rachel Awes is a Psychologist, Author, Art Playgroundist, Speaker, and Clothing Ambassador.

He postponed his original plan and used his farming and gardening knowledge to start his own farm. Still, some things are simply meant to be, and regardless of what happens in the middle, they end up happening. Peter's mother needed major surgery on her shoulder, and despite the doctor's reluctance, she decided to use hemp's CBD and tincture to deal with the p...2021-11-0941 minBravefullDiscovering your Emotional intelligence with Dr. Stevie DawnAlthough many people see emotional intelligence as a soft skill, Dr. Stevie Dawn thinks the opposite; it is a hard skill for her. And she goes even further. Before anything, she stops and asks herself why her brain is pushing her in that direction? To Dr. Stevie, emotions are a byproduct of a hormonal response to a mental trigger, meaning every emotion has a thought behind it. To understand and have more control over our emotions, we need to step back a bit and look for the thought that triggered that emotion. Our guest, Dr. Stevie D...2021-10-2647 minBravefullLearning to be Bravefull with NFA-Money expert Dr. AmandaWhether we are aware of it or not, all of us have money blocks; many women think, for instance, that making more money than their partner could cause fights with them. It could be things we picked up when we were kids, or we might think that having money will change who we are. Still, the number one money block is that money causes stress; having money is stressful.

As a product of the "don't ask, don't tell, and you'll be fine" parenting style, she quickly understood she shouldn't talk about that with her parents, so she sought and found shelter in books. Although she didn't know what was going on with her (she was diagnosed with bipolar personality and ADHD disorder at 22), Stormi understood the need to develop her bag of tricks to survive, and so she did. Stormi Le...2021-09-2857 minBravefullThe Importance of an Expanded Worldview with Tayo RocksonAlmost one year after our first conversation, I'm honored to welcome Sarah Castor to the show again.

Both Tracy and Dave had strong convictions against racism, poverty, and all kind of injustices, and one day, destiny dropped Jimmy Dennis' case on their laps. Mr. Dennis was convicted for robbing and murdering a 17 years old girl in Philadelphia and sentenced to death at 21. Tracy decided to write him a letter, asking for information about his case, and what she got back would change her life. Dennis sent a 28 pages-long letter with information and...2021-08-3153 minBravefullLiving In Full ColorEven before considering herself an artist, Vanessa Johanning was painting with flowers. She worked for more than 20 years as a garden designer, and her color palette was the thousands of flowers she learned to love and combine. Even in a gift store she had, where she would bring art from other artists, she would never have thought on offering some of her own artistic work. With time, Vanessa would embrace the idea she always had in the back of her mind, becoming an artist, even when she didn't have an idea of how that was going to work.2021-08-1747 minBravefullSharing a Gift, Giving People Wings, and Taking Big Bites with Corbie MitleidWhen she was 9, Corbie Mitleid read Eleanor Estes' book The Witch Family, and instead of feeling scared, she learned there was magic in the world; she just had to go and find it.

By 1994, Corbie was already doing hand healing and talking to dead people without previous training. At that point, the Universe had already sentenced, ok, you work for us now. ...2021-08-0345 minBravefullBalancing and Bringing Together our Two Energies with Noa RonenNaming and classifying things give us order and direction; it is helpful to know where we can find those things and perhaps what to expect from them. Something similar happens when we meet someone. We put them in a box and create an idea of how they are, how they think, and so forth, depending on their title or job. But most importantly, we do that to ourselves; we place ourselves in the category we think we belong to, and that can be limiting. We'll hardly picture ourselves doing something different from what someone in that box is expected...2021-05-2554 minBravefullA Survivor's Tale. Jan Canty's Incredible Story of Bravery and ResilienceThere is not a lot written about homicide survivors for a couple of reasons. One is because their stories are not as attractive to the audience as the details of the crimes, and another reason could be because homicide survivors tend to hide for long periods. The thirst for blood doesn't care about the survivors' feelings or what PTSD is doing to them. The media or even known people would ask stupid questions, make jokes, or painful comments regardless of what the survivor might be going through. Today, we have the opportunity of hearing the story of a homicide...2021-05-1156 minBravefullCommitting to the Larger Whole, Malembe RiseWhen it comes to humanitarian help, even the purest desire of contributing to the ones in need can be harmful. The idea of coming from a western civilization to help or solve a problem is both racist and colonialist. Countless well-intentioned initiatives ended up as UFOs (Unfinished Objects) in several African countries, littering the landscape. What undeveloped countries need is consistent actions sustained in extended periods, not a five years project that will end as fast as it started after that time is over. In this episode, we talk with Ann Marie Thomson, Ph.D. She i...2021-04-2759 min
True Crime RecapsTwo cold cases solved by DNA: Mandy Stavik & Lisa ZiegertThis week, Amy and Chris are highlighting 2 remarkable cases that were solved using modern DNA techniques. The first story is the case of Mandy Stavik, who was found dead on Nov. 27, 1989. With no significant leads in the investigation, the case went cold for over 30 years. The case got a shot in the arm when 2 mothers randomly discussed the case at a water park. They named the same man as their main culprit and turns out they were right. Timothy Bass was later linked through DNA evidence and was convicted of raping and murdering Mandy 3 decades ago. He was convicted poetically...2021-04-2129 minBravefullDefining Success to Meet your Goals with Karen MangiaSometimes the modern world looks like a crazy race to success, where we all looking to the side, comparing and measuring our results with each other. Everything happens so fast we barely have time to think or even enjoy what we've accomplished so far. Many of us fail to see that we insist on pushing against noes instead of going after the yesses. A no will keep us stuck, while a yes will move us forward, will put us in contact with a whole set of opportunities. A shortcut to the success line might be taking a pause, looking...2021-04-1353 minBravefullBecome the Best Version of Yourself with Melissa Pas Blake, a Rapid Transformational Therapy teacher and Founder of Pasitive SolutionsMany disorders in adult life can have their origin in childhood trauma. It doesn't need to be a hugely traumatic experience; it can be a minor incident with massive repercussions.

As kids, we are taught to silence intuition's voice with logical thinking, and the stereotypes around intuition complete the job. That is how our intuitive thinking potential is buried and forgotten. We grow and reinforce the accepted teachings, like a plant that was never rotated, rising towards the sunlight. Today, I chat with Elizabeth Vanderliet; she is a painter and an intuitive artist. Elizabeth has a Bachelor in Science in Design and Photography and worked as a p...2021-03-0253 minBravefullWhen Women Hear Their Own Wisdom with Karlee FainThere are a few common misconceptions about what boundaries are; they are not what we articulate between ourselves and others.
