    24. Divine guidance with Carol Heffler

    “What is real and what’s a dream?” Divine inspiration led musician Carol Heffler to compose music based on A Course in Miracles. Her beautiful song, I Could See Peace opens this episode. Carol’s lifetime of creativity flowed like a river within, offering strength for her own struggles as well. Music was something all her own, separate from a larger-than-life mother. In her teens, Carol’s passion for Dave Brubeck’s piano style remained secret - even from friends. After a classical music education, Carol finally found a jazz program in grad school at University of Massachusetts, Amhurst. Working for Elliot Lawrence in New York, Carol scored music for Daytime TV Soaps Search for Tomorrow  and The Edge of Night. In club performances she brought her love of Brazilian rhythms to jazz standards and her own compositions. Carol still enjoys performing, and especially nurturing a love of music in her grandson. Carol’s CDs: Available on Spotify I Could See Peace - Music of A Course in Miracles Sea Dreams - from exactly Willow Weep for Me - from pull of the moon Hero - https://youtu.be/WcQcvZVAV_Y Check out Barb and Vicky's other offerings - visit their website

    23. Release Anxiety with Yumi Iwama

    Yumi Iwama’s life may have seemed perfect, but beneath a successful acting career and beautiful family, she hid her struggle with deep anxiety. The child of Japanese immigrants in a white suburban New Jersey town, Yumi always felt different. Navigating life as an Asian American carried a high emotional and physical cost. Restorative Hypnotherapist Lisa Hubler helped Yumi release the anxiety, and 12 years later, it has not returned. This profound healing inspired her to study with Lisa and she now offers Restorative Hypnotherapy and meditation, finding the combination healing for her clients. Inspired to offer services to people who have been mistreated, and may not feel safe enough to do this vulnerable work, Yumi plans to create a non-profit serving the BIPOC & AAPI communities on a larger scale. To connect with Yumi, visit her website: mindspahypnotherapy.com Also referenced in the podcast: Lisa Hubler:  https://www.amindmatters.com/ Dr. Herbert Benson - The Relaxation Response Charles Yu - Interior Chinatown Check out Barb and Vicky's other offerings - visit their website
