    Be More Kansas City 15 - Tiffany Fletcher, Reiki Master, Medium, Owner - InnerChi

    Tiffany blew my mind when she sent a message to my loved one's during the episode. As someone who is on the fence in his spiritual beliefs Tiffany brought a calming perspective to my doubts, and made me feel okay to believe. Maybe fate brought us together, I talked to her randomly strolling along Loose Park. She has battled traumas and bullying on her journey of self-acceptance, while being a conduit for other's loved ones. What a confusing and frightening journey that must be to partake in this western civilization, but she shows how strong she is in embracing her spirituality and abilities. She speaks on the afterlife, different realms of existence, and what exactly is reiki? I challenged her on the concept of karma, because honestly I'm not sure I believe in karma. If you are curious about spirituality please give this a listen, you will not regret it. Support Tiffany by booking a reiki session with her through her link tree @ https://linktr.ee/InnerChiReiki. :) Please consider supporting Be More Ventures by sharing this podcast on Facebook, and Instagram or go to BeMoreVentures.org and buy a BMV.Tee or BMKC Hoodie. They're both amazing quality and they will quickly become a favorite in your wardrobe. :)

    Be More Kansas City 12 - Ryan Kuhnert, Kuhnert's Candles

    Ryan Kuhnert is the owner of Kuhnert's Candles, a local Kansas City company that offers 22 different scented candles. We talked candles which gets a little deeper than expected, for instance, did you know paraffin wax is used by a lot of major retailers but cannot be processed through the body? We also traveled to a deeper part of Ryan's life and found out the reasoning he took a jump into his creative side. We talked about Being More through creative expression, addressing the Self in intimidating situations, and discussed questions with no real answer. Ryan has a calming and disarming demeanor which I think speaks to his own growth, coming as an individual who has known him for a full year now. This is a seamless conversation in which be bounce from business to concepts of life. If you want to support Kuhnert's Candles you can check their candles out at Kuhnert's Candles on Facebook or get ahold of Ryan Kuhnert on Facebook. If you want to support Be More Ventures consider purchasing a BMV.Tee or BMKC.Hoodie on BeMoreVentures.org, or follow us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Stitcher at Be More Kansas City and share the podcast if you enjoyed our content!
