#29 - Kristi Locks - Breathing Beyond Trauma
My guest today is a wonderful breathwork facilitator, and a very good friend of mine. I met Kristi Locks about a year and a half ago, and since then have gone through so much growth with her. We belong to a meditation WhatsApp group together and she donates her time and expertise once a week with our group to learn breathwork. The way Kristi creates her breathwork ceremonies is very unique, and it affects me, and the whole group, in a very emotional way.  In this podcast, I talk to her about how she comes up with her breathwork ceremonies, and what got her into breath work to begin with. Kristi is amazingly gracious and vulnerable talking about her background, and the trauma that breathwork has helped her overcome. Kristi is helping me on my healing journey so much right now as we are both diving into the work of Dr. Sue Mortar and seeing how that compliments the work of Dr Joe Dispenza. Combine that with breathwork and amazing things are happening in my body.   Learn more about Kristi Locks and her wonderful breathwork Www.Surrenderwithkristi.com    Dive into Dr Joe Dispenza and his amazing work.  Www.drjoedispenza.com   Learn about Dr. Sue Morter and her energy codes that help build circuits in the body.

#28 - Leland Holgate Sr. - Willing the Warrior Within
Leland introduction   The breath… Is so essential for our well-being. Without it, we don’t survive long at all. And yet…it’s easily taken for granted. It happens automatically, we don’t have to think about it. Ancient cultures knew the value of the breath, and it was revered and utilized. Today we’re so busy with so many things that we forget one of the best medicines we can have is readily available, doesn’t take a prescription and is beneficial in ways that more people need to know about.   My guest today is a man who knows about the breath very well. His name is Leland Holgate Sr and he started learning about the breath by accident… Actually due to an accident. As a young man, he was involved in a boating accident, which left him a quadriplegic. Fortunately, the physical therapist assigned to him was also a Yogi who knew a lot about ancient breath, yoga and their benefits to the body. Doctors said there was no cure and we’re preparing him for life in a wheelchair. His military training and sensation He felt during the breath told him something different.    Today Leland is fully functioning and has created the Willful Warrior. A nonprofit helping change lives through the breath work Leland has created over the last decade. He’s a studying neuropsychologist with an upcoming double doctorate. He knows the science behind the breath and I love the way he explains it. The Willful Warrior Welcome Home Method is a breath practice that activates gene expression that up-regulates health in every aspect of the body and brain… It also has a very positive affect on the mind and emotions. When the breath is done properly, there’s a biochemical shift away from the hormones of stress and increasing the happy hormones like oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin and endorphins. I completely geek out with him about what’s going on in the body when we do the breath.    Leland’s experience coming from a wheelchair has been invaluable for me.  I met him at a Dr. Joe Dispenza event in Niagara Falls in September 2022. He was a volunteer at the event. Every Dr Joe event I have been to, the volunteers are absolutely amazing. So ready to help with authentic and enormous hearts. Leland is a perfect example of this. I’ve been fortunate to be able to interact with Leland on a regular basis, and when I have days where doubt and fear creep in… I’ve been able to reach out to him and get support from a man who knows what I’m talking about. He’s been in my shoes… Or in my seat I should say.   I love synchronicities when the universe provides them. Before we started this podcast something very exciting happened that Leland was able to share. One of the warriors in this community has had MS for a couple years and has been doing the breath for a couple months. Right before we started the podcast Leland got the news that she had just gotten an MRI with a die test and the doctors say her MS is no longer visible. In remission! I love how he got this news right before we started talking and what a beautiful sign it is… Knowing the symptoms in this body are definitely helped by doing the breath work.    I got involved with The Willful Warrior and started doing the breath after I came back from the Dr Joe Cancun event in December 2022. As of right now I’ve been doing it a couple months. The biggest thing I’ve noticed with this technique is I get to a place where I completely leave my body… I feel like I’m floating out of my wheelchair…being pulled up to the sky. It is an amazing feeling and I know without a doubt my body is receiving the upgraded chemicals, and I am up regulating my genes. Leland talks about when he was first paralyzed. He would do the breath and feel more sensation 1 inch at a time. Reiterating that you got to notice the  little things and those add up when you continue to do the work. www.thewillfulwarrior.org [email protected]

#27 - Robby Blair - "Time to Wake Up...the World Needs US"
My guest is Robby Blair. I met him at a Dr Joe retreat in Cancun in December 2022. He is shifting my experience here on earth with his energy, his music and his drive. He has had a calling recently… Telling him it is “time to wake up the world needs us”. Throughout his life, Robby has had mystical experiences that he didn’t know how to explain…so he shied away from them. after the Niagara Falls Dr Joe event in September 2022, some things happened that can’t be ignored. The universe tapped Robby on the shoulder repeatedly and he’s not shying away this time. He is stepping in to the challenge of changing the world.  He is driven to share this message and is spreading it within two new meditation groups he is fostering.  The Dot Connector’s and the Morning Warriors. We are family… Holding hands and walking each other home. There is a natural trust that allows vulnerability… Which is where the magic to change exists. Robby is a musician. He shared a single of his with me in Cancun called life and I got addicted to it. His new single entitled Revelation has got me hooked as well. As a musician, with Dr Joe knowledge, he says he’s not creating music…He’s creating energy in the form of music.  Robby is like a brother to me and it feels like I’ve known him forever. Since we share similar thought processes and patterns, we are able to communicate ideas clearly. This is helping me discover more about me which is what this path is all about.   Robby’s Instagram  @rb_31_quantum_life @robbyblairmusic   Robby’s email [email protected]   Search Robby Blair on your favorite platform to find his music.

#26 - Dr Carol McMakin - Healing with Frequency Specific Microcurrent
My guest today is Dr. Carolyn McMakin. Since 1997 she has been a pioneer in the study of frequency specific microcurrent and how it creates resonance in the human body. She is the author of the “resonance effect - how frequency specific microcurrent is changing medicine. She also wrote the literal textbook on FSM. She has a chiropractic practice in the state of Oregon.  Along with her clinical practice, she participates in research and teaches seminars on the use of FSM. Since 1997, 1000’s of practitioners around the world have taken the FSM seminar and use this amazing technique. FSM is helping patients recover from myofascial pain, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, concussion, PTSD, and many other health concerns. For over 25 years she has been jumping through the regulatory hurdles of the FDA and AMA, and others, in order to keep FSM available. I am so thankful for the work that she’s done.  The protocols she’s created to help people overcome chronic illness and pain that Western medicine says is incurable.

#25 - Jill Goux - Healing Empaths and Gaia
Everything in this world is made of energy. Nikola Tesla, once said, if you want to find the secrets of the universe… Think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.  This podcast is about the energy that connects us and the role it plays in our health, humanity and Mother Gaia.  My guest is Jill Goux…that’s GOUX. Jill calls herself The Energy Renovator. As an intuitive transformational coach, energy healer, master dowser and spiritual teacher, she’s been helping people for almost 3 decades to clean up their energy, and understand how to navigate from day to day. She teaches simple and profound tools and techniques that she has mastered over the years.   Here is a quote from her website which explains Jill very well… “Empowering conscious women who are highly sensitive empaths to better understand and manage their energetic systems so they can expand their purpose and step into their power with more ease, grace, and flow.” Recently, Jill has been called to travel the country and change the energy. She has packed up her house, put it in storage and started what she calls the Trip The Light Tour.  She is traveling around the country and connecting with amazing people, to expand the heart and raise the vibration of this country through crystal gridding and sound. Jill performs a ceremony at each location she visits and buries activated crystals that tap into transformational timelines and support a New World paradigm to emerge. Her journey is about gathering  momentum as a collective group to share our gifts, create beautiful connections, expand heart centered energy, and anchor light. Jill and I talk about how it takes practice to change our belief systems and how being an empath is a strength not a weakness. Jill has helped countless people over the years to navigate the energy we live in on a day-to-day basis. Not to take on the energy from other people or let it drain you. She explains what it was like when she found her super powers (that’s what I call anyone’s intuitive abilities) and how stepping into the unknown can be scary as hell. I truly enjoyed my conversation with Jill! To connect with Jill or support her Trip The Light Tour go to: www.JillGoux.com

#24 - Simon Harris - Emotional Healing
Dealing with a chronic illness, of any kind, is more than just a physical journey.  It’s an emotional and spiritual path as well. Mind body and spirit.  My guest today is Simon Harris  and he has been helping me with the emotional healing part of my path. Simon is the third member of The Freedom Project along with Scott and Em who were the guests on my last podcast. He has been helping me through a process called freedom activation.  Simply put, this involves writing down statements about people, places and events in your life which you think about chronically. You attach words and your voice to trapped emotion and residual energy with the goal of finding resolution to old thoughts and habits by realizing they don’t matter anymore. Simon has helped me through many difficult stages of my emotional healing. He has helped me understand what forgiveness is, what self-love is all about and how ultimately, this path is not about the healing… It’s about who you become in the process.

#23 - Scott Sunderland and Em Hollis - Paradigm Shift to Healing
I’ve been on a journey of personal transformation. A journey to rediscover how I am REALLY doin’. A paradigm shift has occurred for me and in this podcast I bring a different perspective that I hope will open some eyes and begin conversation. I’ve never REALLY shared my background in my podcast and it is time for me to do so. I have gone down the rabbit hole in order to find a way to feel better. MS has never felt like me and I’m on a path to find, and define, my truth. In doing this I discovered Dr. Joe Dispenza. I’ll describe his work in my life and how it led me to my guests today.

#22 - Chloe Cohen - Living in power over limitations
How much you believe… In yourself? Can you put your feet on the ground in the morning are you focusing on your power… Or limitations? Chloe Cohen was diagnosed with relapsing remitting MS in 1998. She had a Trumatic head injury and within hours she was having tremors on her left side. She was only 20 years old and an aspiring cellist. That all changed. The early years after diagnosis were lonely for Chloe as they are for a lot of us. In order to find some people to share with, she cofounded an MS support group. And I’m so thankful she did. I’ve been involved with this group since 2007 and you can see Chloe‘s personality stamp on it because the meetings are always very positive and upbeat. Like she is. I have known Chloe for over 10 years and that time I have seen her belief, trust herself skyrocket. It hasn’t been easy, but she’s created a recipe That allows her power to shine despite any limitations the MS has brought on. Chloe knows she didn’t get MS at such a young age to cry about it. She’s here to teach and share her story. Whether it be in the gym and lifting more weight than she ever thought she could, speaking at MS events or in her writing She is a true example of how hard work, tenacious persistence and soulful desire can lead to amazing things. Chloe has written a book and the ebook comes out in May 2019. Chloe and I have been honored to be involved in the most recent national MS Society‘s awareness campaign. Through black-and-white pictures and heartfelt videos we got to tell our stories and it was profoundly touching for both of us. In this podcast Chloe mentions walking in the photo shoot while I was getting my picture taken and it brought her to tears. I think that’s the power of this campaign in that it touches our soul. For me it’s my daughters. For Chloe it’s the loss of her musical abilities.   Buy Chloe’s book - https://www.amazon.com/Making-Lemonade-out-Lemons-Story-ebook/dp/B07PGR64T7/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Chloe+Cohen&qid=1552144568&s=books&sr=1-2   Whatever It Takes Campaign -  pics and videos of Chloe and Jim - www.nationalMSsociety.org/Chloe

#21 - Mark & Tamara Teeter - MS Vulnerability and falling in Love all over again
Mark and Tamara Teeter are two of my favorite people. We are on the same bike team together, Team RoadKill, and Every time I see them, I feel better. Tamara is the warmest gentlest soul with the greatest laugh on earth. And Mark is a former traveling deadhead and scout master with fantastically intriguing stories and the biggest heart. They are high school sweethearts who got a big relationship test when Tamara was diagnosed. Marriage isn’t easy to begin with. Throw in a chronic illness like Multiple Sclerosis and it becomes critical to find common ground, a language you can speak together in order to remain strong together. Mark and Tamara went through a tough time after diagnosis and discovered how vulnerability and speaking the truth is a necessity and a way to ease the stresses, the uncertainty, that MS brings on a daily basis. Mark and Tamara have found a good recipe for themselves and can attest to the importance of sharing. Not only sharing struggles but the good stuff too. As a person with MS, I don’t think you can ever underestimate the power and relief that focusing on the good stuff provides. It took a while for Tamara to fully open up about her tough symptoms and what she found was that sometimes sharing the things that scare you the most is exactly what helps you the most.  As a support partner Mark was ready and willing to help, he just needed the right words to know how to do so. Have a listen as Mark and Tamara let you know how they REALLY did it to get to where they can truthfully talk about how they are REALLY doing now.
