    Guided by Compassionate Spirits: A Journey to Wholeness with Shamanic Healer Julie Kramer

    In this deeply personal and transformative episode of Judging Meghan, I return to the microphone after an emotional few weeks, grappling with the devastating fires in Los Angeles and reflecting on loss, grief, and the search for hope in difficult times. Joining me is Julie Kramer, a shamanic healer whose profound insights into spiritual healing illuminate the often-overlooked connection between the mind, body, and soul. Together, we delve into the concept of soul loss—how trauma can fragment our inner selves, leaving us stuck, disconnected, and struggling to move forward. Julie shares how embracing spirituality, recognizing spirit guides, and honoring our emotions can help us navigate life’s pain with love and grace. Through personal reflection, I open up about my own journey with loss, including a powerful moment when a message from my late father helped me face my fear of flying. This conversation is more than just an exploration of healing—it’s a reminder that true wholeness comes from blending medical care, emotional support, and spiritual awakening. Whether you're processing your own grief, feeling overwhelmed by the world, or simply seeking hope, this episode offers encouragement and a renewed sense of connection. Tune in for an inspiring dialogue about finding strength in vulnerability, trusting life’s mysteries, and embracing your path—even when it feels unconventional. You are not alone in your struggles, and healing is always possible—mind, body, and soul.  Find out more about Julie through her site: https://juliemkramer.com/?v=0b3b97fa6688  This podcast is a place for trauma survivors as well as their friends and family. This is a safe environment to be vulnerable but it's also a place for celebration and moving forward.

Dr. Ken shares profound insights into the struggles parents face in today’s ever-changing world, highlighting key themes like self-compassion, patience, and humility as essential tools for navigating loss and uncertainty. This conversation is a testament to the enduring nature of love, the courage to keep going, and the possibility of rediscovering moments of joy amidst profound loss.

    Dismantling Doubt and Cultivating Audacity with Three-Time Emmy Award-Winning Sports Broadcaster, Keynote Speaker, And Author Anne Marie Anderson

    In this episode I’m joined by three-time Emmy Award-winning sports broadcaster, keynote speaker, and author Anne Marie Anderson. Anne Marie shares her trailblazing journey from growing up in Colorado as the youngest of five siblings to breaking barriers in the male-dominated world of sports broadcasting. With behind-the-scenes stories from her career at ESPN, she reflects on the courage it took to navigate uncharted territory and the lessons she learned about professionalism, audacity, and staying true to her values.  We talk about Anne Marie’s upcoming book, Cultivating Audacity: Dismantle Doubt and Let Yourself Win, offering powerful insights into how women can reclaim their power and step boldly into their potential. We also explore the emotional complexities of grief, the courage it takes to distance from relationships that no longer align, and the joy that comes from embracing deeper, more meaningful connections as we mature. We discuss the concept of the “front row”—the group of supporters who hold us accountable, push us to grow, and celebrate our victories.  This episode is a heartfelt reminder that growth often lies in discomfort and that the courage to persevere, rebuild, and embrace change can lead to extraordinary transformation. From navigating rejection to creating a circle of support that aligns with your values, this conversation will inspire you to let go of what no longer serves you, embrace authenticity, and cultivate the audacity to dream bigger."

    A New Era of Mental Health: Exploring TMS, ECT, and Ketamine Therapy with Dr. Lauren Marasa, Double-Certified Psychiatrist

    In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Lauren Marotta, a double-certified psychiatrist specializing in interventional and forensic psychiatry, for a deep dive into the intersection of mental health, groundbreaking treatments, and the resilience it takes to navigate life’s challenges. Lauren’s journey from the demanding world of neurosurgery to finding her true calling in psychiatry is a testament to resilience, faith, and the power of self-discovery. Through her experiences, she learned the importance of listening to her inner voice, even when the path forward seemed unclear. We dive into the transformative impact of her work in interventional psychiatry, where she has been on the cutting edge of groundbreaking treatments for mental health. From therapies like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) to the revolutionary use of ketamine for treatment-resistant depression, Lauren explains how these therapies are helping to reboot the brain and provide hope to those who feel stuck in their struggles. Lauren’s compassionate approach to psychiatry is a reflection of her own experiences navigating the complexities of mental health, both as a doctor and as a person who understands the depths of pain and healing. She shares how her spa-like mental health practice was designed to break barriers and make people feel more comfortable seeking help. In our conversation, she talks about the importance of connecting with people—not just as patients, but as human beings—making treatment accessible, effective, and full of hope.
