NSFW and NSFkids Alert - On this Episode Amanda Quick, a Quantum Energy Healer and author of  The Sex Trafficker's Wife  reveals the whole spectrum of the power of transformative spirituality.  Amanda vulnerably shares what it is like as a very young woman to have your  family and life BLOWN apart by her husband's criminal behavior.  She is transparent about her initial unwillingness to accept the horrific reality led her to make some mistakes, which she had to pay the price for.  And what was the turnaround?  A psychic's revelation that her inability to SEE the truth was a Karmic result from a past life entanglement with her husband. This realization sends her into the quagmire of challenging social worker's lawyers and the system to keep her children safe from the man who is their father.  It is a wild ride and even has a Hollywood Happily-Ever-After ending.  This is the perfect show to watch for anyone who is in an abusive relationship and needs inspiration to get out, who wants to understand how to protect kids from SA or help them if you suspect something.  Amanda's story reminds us that messy realities take a fierce dedication to resolve but can absolutely lead to a much better life, if one is willing to go through the fire of the discomfort zone.  From the shadows into the light, Amanda also shares her wise insights and the beautiful work she is now doing helping to her clients heal their trauma.

Challenging the typical adoptee narratives, The Adopted Chameleon community activist and trauma-informed yoga therapy instructor, Lorah Gerald shares her experiences healing from adoption trauma. Creative Wellness Coach, Leela Davis and Expressive Arts Coach, Kelsay Myers get personal, political, and spiritual with Lorah in this episode. We discuss the power of adoptee stories in correcting social myths around the idea of being “grateful.” We explore the need  to “fix” things or “figure it out” because adoptees are always searching for their identity, their biological family, or a therapist to connect to! We cover surrogacy, foster care, trauma responses, the higher risk of suicide for adoptees, somatic therapies, and “the science” behind the effect of early life separation from birth mothers in a system that buys and sells children, as well as alternatives to growing up in abusive homes in general. Lorah even shares a breathing exercise to help settle a highly activated system. We also cover the intuitive, the energetic, and various resources for adoptee healing that are out there, including Lorah’s own projects centered around giving voice to adoptee experiences. You won’t want to miss this timely conversation on the heels of the overturning of Roe v. Wade and Adoption Awareness Month!

Welcome to our World of Woo and Wonderful Weirdness.  Kelsay Elizabeth Myers and I, from the first day we met, realized we were Sisters from another Mister AND Mistress!  We both have Michiganian family roots, both grew up feeling like outsiders for very different reasons.  In order to cope with the challenges of this we turned to creative expression - writing, acting, singing and dancing into our adulthood.  In our early 30's we realized we needed more to heal the unique traumas we experienced as children and early adulthood and deepened into spirituality.  Kelsay tells of how she was a reluctant medium since childhood until she started on her path to becoming a Reiki Master.  Leela explains how Astrology helped her map her healing journey since the age of 10.  And more recently they have found purpose and direction in their studies and application of Human Design to their lives.  They both happen to be Projectors.  This episode reveals how healing doesn't just have to be work but can be a delightful and enriching adventure.

Can you be " Addicted to Love"?  Sure you can - and according to Robert Palmer, it's great.  But is it though?  Edited down from 4 hours of  discussions spread over 2 days David Greenleaf, Trauma Recovery Specialist and Leela Davis, Creative Wellness coach discuss the pitfalls of what many 12 Step groups refer to as "Sex and Love Addiction."  We discuss our own harrowing tales of Love gone wrong, due to the misfortunes and misunderstandings about healthy relating we learned from our family dynamics.  We point out that "co-dependancy" is a prominent feature in how Western Cultures have trained us to form romantic relationships for both men and women.  We even cover the science of WHY addictions form in the area of romantic and sexual relationships.  And no show would be complete without us sharing a number of different strategies to identify dysfunction in our relationships and learn how to heal ourselves so we can form new healthy relationships.  As David says in the show -
Strap in for a wild ride!"  If the term "love addiction" seemed a curiosity to you before.  You will be able to give a TED talk on the topic by the end of the show, especially if you start digging into the extensive resources mentioned in the episode.

On this episode we are interviewing Alessandra Amico-Jones, a Certified Practitioner of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) also known as tapping, joining us on the Pod.  We also have a switch in co-hosts - Whaaaat?  David Greenleaf a life-coach specializing in thriving beyond trauma and in recovery is taking over for Jude Gorini for a few shows.  Jude Gorini's last show was #16.  He is going on to other creative projects and I will share the info on how to continue following him later in the show notes.

But BACK to Alessandra, she tells her personal stories and shares those of her clients of how tapping has dramatically shifted experiences of grief, anxiety, and depression.  EFT/Tapping is good not only for emotional pain, but also physical pain and changing mindset.  In fact toward the end of the show, Alessandra leads us through a short tapping routine for the inner critic.  We will be posting the whole inner critic tapping routine and Alessandra's instructions on our YouTube Channel soon!  

EFT/Tapping is both powerful but also very gentle and simple to implement.  Simple enough to help children help themselves.  Alessandra has recently written a book - The Magic Within You - to assist children and their parents to learn about and practice tapping to address childhood challenges.  She is also making a special offer through the podcast - offering a free 15 minute tapping session if you DM her on Instagram and tell her you heard her interview on this podcast.

Have you ever felt so exhausted and overwhelmed with your life and all its responsibilities?  You may be on the way to or in the middle of

Burn-out.  Burn-out is more than simple exhaustion after a hard day of work, it involves the degradation of your life force physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  And those of us who live to serve and help others and are often in the front of the line leading to Burnout.  Dr. Mary (Chiropractic Doctor and Medical Intuitive) describes how she went through a protracted period of Burnout, in spite of being in the medical field, due to her passion to help others, and ignoring the signs of how she needed to support her own health as well.  This led to her leaving a successful chiropractic practice that she had spent over 20 years building to start a new life on the other side of the world.  Who does that?  A woman who wants to save her marriage, rediscover happiness and purpose, and renew her health in her middle age.  Dr. Sanders goes on tell of her adventures, discoveries and studies around the world.  

If you want to understand how to address mindset issues that lead to burn-out, we are talking about you, PERFECTIONISM and COMPARISON, listen to this show as Dr. Mary, Jude and myself all speak about each of our Burn-out Journeys and Lessons.  There is a lot of wisdom and HOPE in this show.  Dr. Mary explains how learning how to manage one's energy gives us 2nd, 3rd, 4th and more chances at life.

Be sure to stay till the end or check out her website below to get information about her offerings.  You absolutely don't have to feel old before you are chronologically "old."  And any one who learns how to tap into the eternal life force, really has access to the fountain of youth.
