Amanda and I discuss the grief she felt when she lost her shop. Image and how we are all the same and connected. 
*****
From an early age, Amanda has been aware and in tune with her Psychic gifts and with the spirit world. As she grew up listening to the sound of her own drumbeat. She borrowed her first book on Wicca when she was 13 and her first tarot deck at 16. Then, at the age of18, she was free to truly study her Spirit Lead path of Witchcraft, Psychic Development, and Energy Healing at a local shop that was located in Indianapolis, IN.
In 2006, Spirit lead Amanda to move down to Birmingham, AL. While living there the Spirits lead her to connect with her Southern roots and began doing professional readings at a local shop. This began her journey of being not just a high-demand Psychic/Medium/Tarot Reader, but she started teaching classes on the Tarot and becoming a leader in the community. As well as learning and practicing Hoodoo/Root working. In the Fall of 2009, Amanda came back home Indianapolis area. While helping her

It is our identity and habits of thinking that create patterns of failure in our lives, and if we correct them, we can create change in any area of life. People are often stunned and amazed to find that there is a champion inside of them that they didn't know how to tap into, and if they change these two principles, they really are, Not Defeated.

Nick and I discuss his book Executive Loneliness
*******
Executive depression, anxiety, and isolation – and the substance abuse, family breakdowns, poor physical health, self-harm, and suicide that can all too frequently result – were a major issue long before most of us had even heard the word “coronavirus”.
I know this for a fact because three years ago, I myself went through a severe breakdown. At the time, I was performing very well in my career and had recently been placed in Singapore by my company.
Over the previous decade, however, I’d been unexpectedly laid off from senior roles working in Indonesia and Vietnam.
I couldn’t shake the paranoia that no matter how good my performance was, I could be retrenched at any moment. I lived on edge – and drinking took the edge off.
When I first moved to Singapore, I was all alone in a foreign country, so I sought solace in alcohol and the superficial social circle of my local bar. I stopped exercising and gained 20kg within a few months of arriving in this country.
It wasn’t the wonderful food here that did it – no, it was the booze. Drinking heavily at the end of most days was, to my mind, a reward and a form of therapy, but in fact it only left me feeling more imbalanced, lonely and disconnected.
Psychosomatic disorders and my unhealthy lifestyle began to affect me physically.
I felt I couldn’t get any more down and even made a will in preparation for my death, which I thought could come at any time, despite being only 43 years of age.
I’d hit an all-time low.
Finally, I acknowledged that I had to do something.
I had to speak to someone. I actually consider myself lucky for having a drinking problem, because that meant I found my way to Alcoholics Anonymous.
AA has been an invaluable source of support, helping give me the strength to remain sober these past two-and-a-half years.
Getting back into exercise and participating in triathlons, I gradually regained my physical fitness, which in turn led to me achieving better mental balance.
But I think the thing that helped me most was “paying it forward” and devoting time to service – giving back.
For me, that meant contributing a portion of my time to an organization called SOS, Samaritans of Singapore.
SOS provides emotional support to people in crisis, individuals who might be depressed and thinking about suicide, or who have been affected by the suicide of someone close to them.
The suicide of a close friend when I was in the early stages of my recovery came as a real shock.
No one knew he was feeling such despair. He suffered in silence, as so many high-powered executives do (especially men).
He hadn’t told anyone about his depression or dark thoughts – and that was a terrible wake-up call for me.

ViVi and I talk about her book as well as metaphysics.

********
Vi Vi Thai is a writer, truth seeker, healer, and fearlessly determined to live a free lifestyle regardless of others’ opinions. 
She uncovered her true life’s purpose after going through a dramatic and stressful time at the end of her stay in the US as an international student and worker. During that time, she achieved a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering at Texas A & M University and a Masters of Biomedical Engineering from Cornell University. 
At the end of 2017, she started a new life in Canada as a new immigrant from Vietnam. Here, she embarked on a one-of-a-kind nomadic van-life adventure.
Living her life purpose, Vi helps others to find their path of freedom to live their authentic selves because only then can we all be living a fulfilled life of happiness. 
She believes that, as we find our own inner freedom, that is when the world can be free and liberate itself to evolve to a better place in the cosmos. 
When she’s not planning her next adventure, you can find her savoring life’s simple pleasures with her beloved dog Marco.

Ulrika talks about her book and the inspiration behind it.

*********
For many decades I was being depressed, and burned out and eventually I also became suicidal. My whole life was like an inner struggle with low self-esteem manifesting in many things such as stress, severe sleeping disorders and a deep depression. This ongoing inner struggle affected all aspects of my life; my relationships, health, work, money and career.
My first first book; “2:47 The Journey Home to My Heart” was released 2019. It is an autobiography where I with a raw authenticity and vulnerability writes about my inner journey to free myself from my own inner prison, and to come back my Heart. This book is now sold in 8 countries, giving inspiration and hope to others who suffers from mental illness! You can find it on Amazon.
From this long, and lifechanging experience I share my embodied wisdom, my knowledge, passion, teachings, and also my vision across the globe.
Today I work as a Feminine Leadership Coach, International Spiritual Teacher and Author, Yoga Teacher, Yoga Therapist, public speaker and trainer with the entire world as a field of work. With more than 28 years of personal and professional experience in various Holistic disciplines, I primarily help and guide women in senior and leading positions who long for a more authentic, peaceful, juicy and balanced life. 
My vision is to contribute to a freer, more beautiful, a more conscious and loving world for all of us to live in together. Her method is an unique combination of well proven modern western techniques and ancient eastern wisdom and knowledge.
