    Strength in the Scars with Vincent Van den Broeck

    A near-fatal scooter crash leaves Vincent Van den Broeck with multiple fractures, major brain trauma, and a 10 percent survival chance - but the real story is what he does next. If you need proof that resilience is a practice, not a personality trait, this conversation will stay with you long after it ends. Deb Snyder sits down with Brussels-based entrepreneur, restaurateur, and author Vincent Van den Broeck live from his restaurant for a raw look at recovery, ownership, and rebuilding a life after catastrophe. Vincent opens up about the night of the accident, the weeks in a coma, the brutal rehab that followed, and the moment he refused to let doctors, labels, or fear define what came next. You’ll hear Vincent and Deb unpack: Why “toxic positivity” became a surprising accusation during rehabHow taking full ownership of your journey changes everythingThe difference between surviving and truly becomingWhy gratitude for small things like walking home or opening a water bottle can be life-alteringThe role of family, friends, prayer, and community in his recoveryHow his book, Everything Feels Impossible Until It’s Done, turned private pain into a shared victory Vincent also shares the philosophy behind his “manual” for living, including the power of making every goodbye count, protecting time with the people you love, and choosing authenticity over autopilot. It’s a conversation about energy, purpose, second chances, and the quiet habits that make life feel more precious after almost losing it.Essential listening if you’re rebuilding, rethinking your priorities, or looking for a reminder that even the hardest chapter can become the one that saves you. Vincent Van den Broeck is a Brussels-based entrepreneur, restaurateur, and survivor of a near-fatal car accident that changed his life forever. On October 11th, 2024, he was struck whilst riding a scooter in a collision at 55 km/h in a 30 zone. The impact left him with multiple fractures and major brain trauma. Doctors gave little hope with most injuries of this severity having only a 10% survival rate. He spent weeks in a coma and three months in intensive rehabilitation, but recovery didn’t stop there — it became a daily mission. Against all odds, he not only regained his strength but came back stronger than before: working out 7 times a week, running a business, and building new creative projects. Today, Vincent shares his story as living proof that resilience, mindset, and community can make the impossible possible.  Vincent is the author of: EVERYTHING FEELS IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL IT’S DONE: How the life you build becomes the one that saves you  ORDER THE BOOK Author online:  www.theuidclub.com https://www.instagram.com/vincentinthekitchen/ Learn more about Rare Medium with Deb Snyder at: http://www.debsnyder.com and http://www.heartglow.org

    Listening to Your Body with Ben Dorfman

    What if your anxiety, grief, or even a random body sensation is not a problem to fix, but a message you have not learned how to hear? Acupuncturist, life coach, and energy healer Ben Dorfman shows why the body is never random and how learning to trust its signals can change the way you heal, relate, and move through life. Ben joins host Deb Snyder to unpack the bridge between physical pain, emotional truth, and spiritual awakening.

We break down practical ways to work with sensitivity and energy, from simple visualizations and intention-setting to the underrated power of boundaries.

    Healing Through Sound with Greg Palma

    Sound can do more than soothe - it can shift consciousness, awaken memory, and unlock healing in ways most people have never experienced. Greg Palma reveals how a classically trained opera voice became a channel for what he calls the Singing Spheres of the Celestial Realm, and why his work is now reaching people seeking deep peace, emotional balance, and spiritual expansion. Deb Snyder sits down with Greg Palma, a healer by sound whose path began in formal opera training and led into an unexpected world of intuitive, energetic singing. Greg shares the moment a clairvoyant healer recognized there was more in his voice than technique, and how that discovery opened the door to a completely different kind of performance - one guided in real time by energy, intention, and spiritual connection. You'll discover: How years of opera training became the foundation for healing sound workWhy Greg begins with a single tone and lets the rest unfold automaticallyWhat he means by personalized healing songs for anxiety, physical discomfort, and emotional stressHow transcendental meditation shaped his understanding of silence, self, and purposeWhy he now describes parts of his work as coming through angelic and star family energies Greg also shares how he creates songs for individuals and groups, why some listeners feel powerful effects in very different ways, and what happens when the voice becomes a carrier wave for something larger than the singer. If you've ever wondered whether sound can be used as a tool for transformation, this conversation offers a fascinating window into the possibilities. This episode is especially compelling for anyone drawn to meditation, energy healing, consciousness, or unconventional approaches to well-being. It closes with a live healing performance from Greg himself, giving you a chance to experience the vibration and presence of his work firsthand. Perfect for listeners who want something uplifting, expansive, and a little beyond the ordinary - and for anyone ready to hear how voice, intention, and spirit can come together in a single healing experience. Greg Palma sings with the intention of opening the heart to love, deep peace, joy and well being. His terrestrial voice is accompanied by energies from the celestial realms producing healing songs to settle the mind, awaken cellular memory, and restore balance in the physiology. The songs rearrange the cells in the divine sequence of the body, rearranging them back into alignment of their divine blueprint. Greg is from a musical family and is highly trained in classical opera and performed professionally in Washington DC area opera companies. Over the past decade, Greg has performed celestial singing, in person, via the internet or over the phone, and for individuals or groups at healing events.
