Jennifer graduated from Cal Poly (San Luis Obispo, CA) with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science and a Minor in Philosophy. After graduation, she started her first job as a Software Engineer at a big company in San Diego. Like so many people, she felt incredibly trapped and depressed at a job that paid the bills but didn’t speak to her passion in life. She constantly suffered from “a case of the Mondays,” this weighty sense of foreboding at the beginning of each work week. While working on people, she started to feel the “energy fields” emanating from people. She became fascinated by energy healing and studied various energy healing modalities including Reiki. She met Richard Gordon, the founder of Quantum-Touch, at his lecture on Maui. She fell in love with the vision of Quantum-Touch and received a very clear message from the Universe that Quantum-Touch was her true calling. Shortly after she met Richard, she quit her job and took a Leap of Faith. She finally followed her Heart. She took over as CEO of Quantum-Touch in June 2002. When you are following your Heart, doors will open almost magically. She has dedicated her life work to helping people discover the healing power of their Love. She strives to integrate spirituality and business by implementing business practices that include spiritually rewarding jobs, loving spiritual service to the world, environmental responsibility, and financial abundance. Quantum-Touch has grown from a small United States company to an international Corporation with a community of over 50,000 people. This podcast covers the following topics: • How we become stuck in the spiritual and broke paradigm • The first thing to do to change your money reality • Tips and strategies to manage emotions without letting them run your reality Jennifer offers very grounded and practical wisdom from her own transformation out of the darkness.

During her 25 years of training horses, my Truly Me podcast special guest, Joy Baker, found she had the ability to easily connect with horses that had been abused or were labelled mean by others. However, once she realized that any further career options in the horse industry were limited, she made a life altering decision and choose to focus all her time and efforts into her personal growth. She walked away from her life with horses over 20 years ago and thus began her journey of self-discovery and inner healing. It was during this time that she realized her ease at connecting with and understanding abused horses was a gift that she could offer to support and inspire mankind. Several times over the years, Joy had been ready to give up on her personal growth journey; the emotional pain was too intense and she wasn't sure if she wanted to go on with it. However, her vision of helping humanity in some way always gave her the courage to dig a little deeper and break through the fear that was keeping her stuck. As a result of breaking through her self-imposed barriers and limitations, she understands the massive courage it takes each of us to be honest and vulnerable with ourselves and discover what’s holding us back from living an inspired and authentic life. After years of soul searching and doing her inner work, Joy has developed the ability to read the emotional energies we each carry within us and now offers remote energy scans and clearings. Simply by reading the energy in the picture of a person, disempowering core beliefs and emotions are identified and cleared from the energy field and chakras. She has received feedback from several clients stating that her scans & emotional energy clearings go into those dark, dusty places that no other healer has been able to uncover and clear. Many clients have reported having been at a loss as to where to turn next and were ready to end it all. They had had enough of this Human experience on planet Earth. After listening to the scans and experiencing the clearings from Joy, they report feeling renewed and ready to experience life once again. Joy reminds us that we ALL have value, regardless of what we’ve been through, have done or have experienced. Each scan and clearing is as unique as the individual receiving it and can range from a simple tune up to a life changing awakening. This podcast covers the following topics: • Why we need to clear our old experiences from childhood and HOW we can do so without re-experiencing them • What energy does in the body when it’s stuck and how to clear it out • Simple and effective ways to shift different states of being that we don’t prefer AND Joy does an amazing energy healing and clearing that had me speechless and feeling giddy! Don’t miss Joy’s calming and comforting energy in this episode!

My special guest, Chris Kidawski, has been a strength and conditioning coach for the last 18 years. He has a master’s in Kinesiology from the University of Hawai’i but has educated himself and become proficient in all aspects of heath and wellness. He takes a holistic “systemic” approach to health, often working from the inside out. He lives and runs his business Influential Health Solutions in South Florida where he can draw inspiration and love from the ocean. Chris’ second book called The Everspace: Utilizing the Power Of God and Neuroscience To Create Stillness Within was a calling of his for a very long time. In this book, Chris describes the techniques he has used to deal with adversity, fears, and death. What Chris realized was that most people either use faith when adversity strikes or they accumulate the most knowledge they can to defeat adverse positions in life. The key – and the greatest amount of growth-- comes from utilizing both. Today, Chris is committed to consulting and speaking on all facets of health and wellness to help people live and feel better. His new goal is to never stop helping people open up their hearts, their minds, and ultimately their lives.

My special guest, moi (Eleanor Healy), loves to help women (and conscious men) who struggle to be themselves, finally take their power back so they can become who they are truly meant to be. When I'm not inspiring heart-centred souls to become who they are truly meant to be, I'm indulging in long trips overseas, healthy experimentation in the kitchen and the occasional binge-session of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. I will continue to bring you awesome guests, but for this week I had so much fun creating an episode just for you and I! This podcast covers the following topics: • How to let anger dissipate when it’s all built up • How holding onto anger creates “concrete” in our body • Ways to move through the experience while honoring yourself and others Don’t miss heartfelt strategies to help you unload your stuck energy and attract the experiences you’ve always wanted!

My special guest, Deborah Acker, learned a long time ago that the key to true happiness meant moving away from it. She realized at an early age, through the loss of her mom at 17 and her dad leaving before the age of 2, that running away from herself, her emotions and her pain only caused more of it, and that your only true way out is in. Today, she embraces it all to feel the light in the darkness, the joy in the sadness and the perfection in the pain. With this, she coaches women to know true joy, peace and trust, no matter what’s occurring, and most importantly, to celebrate and relish in this crazy, juicy, up-and-down thing we call life. When she's not clearing energy blocks & childhood patterns, writing for The Huffington Post and Elephant Journal or hosting Truth Talk Radio, you can find Deborah working out and traveling the world, savoring its beauty, people, culture and adventures This podcast covers the following topics: • How to live in true joy every day • What do many people run away from and not acknowledge that blocks them from joy? • What are the common patterns that block us from living in joy and block us from this deep truth? • What do you have to get clear about to move forward with this? I had so much fun with Deb--she is a true joy (see what I did there?) Don’t miss this joyful and heartfelt conversation about how to access joy no matter what is happening in your life!
