From Black Sheep To A Powerful Cycle Breaker
— "Know in our heart that the very things that make you different are your greatest gifts and most valuable contributions." Valeria interviews Mei Ling Tsui — She is a Third-Generation Intuitive, Creator Of Soul Agenda School And Speaker Mei Ling helps women who identify as the black sheep or scapegoats of their families move from feeling inadequate to becoming powerful cycle breakers by reconnecting them with their unique soul agenda and divine support system, so that they can shine their light into the world, knowing they are deeply loved and valued for who they are. As a mixed race woman who inherited intuitive and psychic abilities through her Chinese lineage, Mei Ling is a bridge between the East and West, and between the earthly and spiritual realms. Growing up, she constantly felt like the outsider, never quite fitting in anywhere. As a child of divorce, the feeling was only exacerbated when she became the inconvenient addition to her parents' new families. The spiritual journey that eventually led Mei Ling to become a professional intuitive started with one question - "Why?" Mei Ling shares personal stories from growing up as the black sheep and scapegoat and weaves in vulnerable, potent, and often funny insights gleaned from these experiences with the hopes that those listening feel less alone on their healing journeys.

Love, Love Is All, The Great Healer!
— "Be the Love in all and everything – this is the lesson, and it can be hard. This will be the key, is the key. You search for the answers to life, to manifesting and you are the key. You are LOVE and Love heals, creates all, for it is ALL. Love is a consciousness, and you are that consciousness! A spark, a part in this body, this beautiful body, connected to the Oneness, to all and everything. Love = Universe. The consciousness of Love manifests all – galaxies, stars, tea, coffee! And once you sit with this and become that Love, release the veils/barriers you put up to hide you from it, then the answers start to come in. There is nothing to do beloved, sit and be loved, all will be revealed. Too simple for the human mind which wants to keep doing BEING is the key to finding the answers. So, sit and be loved, all the time, receive that Love, let it pour through you and let the mysteries unfold and be revealed."

Brainspotting: In Our Response Lies Our Growth & Our Freedom
— Much like the body, the mind is capable of healing itself naturally. Psychologist and creator of Brainspotting Dr. David Grand believes the way people look and gaze can affect their feelings. The goal of Brainspotting is to enable people to target negative emotions by positioning their eyes in a certain way. Through trained brainspotting therapists, one's eyes are slowly guided across the field of vision until a brainspot becomes apparent, a location that evokes traumatic memories or painful emotions. There is increasing evidence that trauma is "stored" in the body and that it can alter the way the brain works. Trauma can, for example, have an effect on emotions, memory, and physical health. Brainspotting seems to activate the body's innate ability to heal itself from trauma. Disturbing memories can be replaced in the brain, resulting in painful feelings being exchanged for more resolved, peaceful things. Brainspotting makes use of this natural phenomenon through its use of relevant eye positions. This helps the brainspotting therapist locate, focus, process and release a wide range of emotionally and bodily-based conditions. It is also a brain-based tool to support the therapy relationship, as it taps into and harnesses the body's natural self-scanning, self-healing ability. Valeria interviews Susan Martin — She is a Board-Certified Marriage and Family Therapist practicing psychotherapy in a thriving private practice in Boise, Idaho. She is the founder of Susan Martin Therapy and Wellness working with adults struggling with the lasting effects of trauma, including developmental trauma experiences. Susan is certified in Brainspotting, a progressive and cutting-edge approach to treating the central nervous system's adverse responses to current life stressors. Susan helps clients who feel their past is keeping them from living their best futures, those whose bodies are tired of existing in survival mode, and those who are struggling with their relationships because of the somatic stress living with an always-activated central nervous system. Susan also specializes in depression, anxiety, the effects of shame, attachment wounds, and life and family changes and transition. Emotional health, nervous system health, neurobiology, and overall physical wellness are her passions. Her approach to her work is to treat the "whole" person and reach root causes of symptoms. Also, a certified life coach, Susan is currently developing a program to help heal and empower today's high-achieving, busy, must-do-it-all women who are lost in people-pleasing, drowning in expectations, and don't feel they have control of their lives to be authentically present, have deeper human connections, and have lasting healing from their pasts. As an adopted adult continually growing and rejuvenating from her own preverbal trauma, Susan feels deeply and is sensitive to the world around her. Susan's work represents a second career earning her Master of Arts in marriage and family therapy from Northcentral's School of Behavioral Sciences in her forties as a busy wife and mother of two teenaged girls. Always an integral focus in her work with clients are resilience, purpose, gratitude, and, of course, joy. Her favorite quote is from the great Viktor Frankl, famed psychiatrist, holocaust survivor, and author of Man's Search for Meaning, "Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."

Why Self-Love Beats Perfectionism Any Day
— There is a simple, powerful antidote to the core problematic emotions that fester within your heart: self- love. Self-love is the key that opens the door of consciousness transformation; because of this, much of Simon's, Self Salutation's work is rooted in connecting you to your capacity for self-love. Once you have tended to your negative feelings in this way, the Self Salutation then offers you a means to reestablish yourself in a healthy stance toward others and life. Valeria interviews Simon Timm — He is the author of "An Introduction to the Self Salutation: A Mindfulness Meditation Series." Simon Timm is a mindfulness and meditation teacher and the author of the book An Introduction to the Self Salutation: How to Resolve Negative Emotions Through Mindfulness Meditation. Simon spent most of his college years battling depression. Unwilling to spend the rest of his life on medication, he searched for another way of living with himself after college. The way he found was meditation. Simon moved into a Hindu ashram and spent sixteen years as a monk. When he left the monastic life in 2011, he recognized the need for a meditation practice to help resolve the negative feelings within him—rather than just help lift above them. This prompted him to explore different modalities of personal transformation and ultimately to develop the Self Salutation. He also earned a Masters in Religion from Yale at that time. Simon currently lives with his spouse, Allyson, in the Washington, DC metro area.

Transform Your Life — Be Led By The Dreams In Your Heart
— Our stories are our identity. They're borne from a never-ending cycle of repetitive thoughts that lead to deeply held beliefs, ingrained behaviors, and ultimately, who we believe our- selves to be. When we embody a fixed mindset, we view our qualities and abilities as unchangeable traits set in stone. Conversely, the growth mindset empowers us to believe that our qualities can evolve through dedication, effort, and continuous learning. It's not easy to change our story, but it is possible.

Moving Toward Wholeness
— Holotropic Breathwork is based on the belief that each of us is guided by our own intrinsic wisdom, and that the opportunity for healing past traumas of the physical and/or emotional body or opportunities for opening a new doorway to creative flow lies within us - always available - as we become more aware of our natural ability to awaken to our authentic selves and our highest potential. Journeying in this expanded state, our psyche allows select biographical, transpersonal or mythological/spiritual material from our internal landscape to float to the surface of our conscious mind. As we feel safely supported, we are more likely to give ourselves the space and permission to work with and integrate this material for deeper understanding. The term 'holotropic' means "moving toward wholeness." Valeria interviews Yulia Meshoyrer — She is a Russian-born distinguished Grof-certified Holotropic Breathwork facilitator dedicated to the transformative technique developed by Stan and Christina Grof. Her extensive qualifications include an MA degree in General Psychology from Russia and an MA in Transpersonal Psychology from Sofia University.
