In this episode I speak with Dr. Christina Compton about the role of doctors as health collaborators rather than authorities. From her experience working with patients, she’s found that asking deep questions is more powerful for true healing, and that finding a cure to any physical imbalance requires us to go within to find the answers. She describes how ‘fighting’ an illness causes disengagement and disconnection from ourselves, as does breaking the body into parts as with allopathic specialists.

In this episode I talk about how it’s time for all of us to direct our energy into creating a new world. We the people are powerful -- it’s time to take charge. It’s time to bloom. It’s time to create the lives we want, despite perceived limitations. Any frustration or anger we experience due to world circumstances can be used to infuse passion into our strengths, projects and life design.

In this episode I talk with Juliana Spicoluk & Mark Spicoluk, founders of Boho Beautiful, about their trip to Tibet.

Juliana and Mark have traveled all over the world for several years, and were surprised when their video got censored. I was curious to know more.

In this episode I speak with Sarah Jenks about being unapologetic and breaking the rules so that we can become who we really are.
