In this episode of The BAM with Lori and Jenny, the hosts reconnect after summer to share travel stories, personal updates, and reflections.

Jenny talks about upcoming plans to visit the Dolomites in Italy, while Lori kicked off the season with a special trip to Japan and South Korea tied to her stepson’s adoption.

They discuss using AI tools to plan travel and improve work efficiency, balancing busy schedules with fitness routines, and overcoming injuries. The conversation also touches on the “back-to-school” feeling as a time for renewal and how people perceive and process the world differently.

They also share quirky and fun experiences like donkey races in Leadville and “tooling” around unfamiliar neighborhoods, plus summer highlights such as hockey tournaments and family time.

Wrapping up, they reflect on both the freedoms and small annoyances of summer versus the structure of the school year, laugh over lighthearted family moments, and look forward to welcoming exciting guests in future episodes.

Meet Amy Stark, a former science teacher whose journey into energy healing began with meditation and a growing awareness of her intuitive gifts—such as sensing the physical pain of others.

In her new book, Bridging the Divide, Amy explores the powerful intersection of science and spirituality, offering insights into how energy healing can help people reconnect with their inner light.

She shares how she scientifically validated her abilities in a laboratory—changing the pH of water, influencing energy fields, and even working with NASA-grade diagnostic tools—demonstrating that energy work can have measurable effects.

Amy also introduces Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), a tapping method that rewires the brain and nervous system by releasing trauma and emotional blocks. She explains how our early life experiences shape the way we see the world, and how techniques like EFT can help us reframe those beliefs and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Alongside her healing work, Amy opens up about life as a gay mom raising her son, and her experiences as a psychic medium. From receiving messages from those who have passed to being guided by both science and spirit, Amy’s story is one of transformation, empowerment, and deep healing.
