    Alec Hamlin - Healing With a Mic in Hand

    Alec Hamlin is an author, actor, filmmaker, content creator, and comedian whose work is rooted in raw truth, resilience, and the transformative power of humor. Through storytelling and comedy, Alec has turned unimaginable pain into purpose — using laughter as both a survival tool and a way to connect deeply with others navigating their own healing journeys. Raised in an abusive household overshadowed by fear, trauma, and the instability of a narcissistic addict father, Alec endured a childhood marked by emotional and psychological hardship. His father is currently serving a life sentence for the abuse and trauma inflicted upon the family. Rather than allowing those experiences to define him, Alec chose to reclaim his voice through creativity, performance, and storytelling. Blending sharp humor with honesty and heart, Alec’s work explores themes of survival, identity, healing, and human resilience. Whether on screen, behind the camera, on stage, or creating digital content, he brings authenticity and emotional depth to every project. His ability to find light within darkness has resonated with audiences who appreciate both his vulnerability and comedic edge. As a filmmaker and creator, Alec is passionate about telling stories that challenge, inspire, and spark conversation. His mission is not only to entertain, but to remind others that healing is possible — and that sometimes laughter is the first step toward freedom.   https://www.tiktok.com/@dontbesmartalec https://www.patreon.com/Dontbesmartalec https://www.facebook.com/QuitBeingASmartAlec https://www.instagram.com/dontbesmartalec https://youtube.com/@dontbesmartalec https://twitch.tv/dontbesmartalec    Link For Books https://www.amazon.com/Fathers-Sons-Alec-Hamlin/dp/1688642331 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Earth-Flat-Alec-Hamlin-Nonfiction-ebook/dp/B092BR6RZ9

    Past Lives, Human Design & the Courage to Be Fully You, With Nadia Elmagrabi

    Nadia Elmagrabi, MA LLP, is a psychotherapy-informed intuitive with 25+ years of guiding women through lineage-level transformation. She specializes in what most therapy cannot touch: the patterns that persist beyond this lifetime. Born in England to a Welsh mother and Egyptian father, Nadia grew up between cultures and continents, which taught her early to follow her own inner compass. She's always walked to the beat of her own drum, and now she shows others how to listen to their authentic selves, too. After earning her MA in Clinical Psychology and working for 10 years in clinics in Livonia, Michigan, Nadia moved into private practice, gathering modalities that work where traditional therapy often stops: past-life therapy, ancestral healing, Human Design, and embodied energetics Her work is grounded in this: We are multidimensional beings not meant to play small. If something is holding you back, it may not be from this time and space—it may be lineage, another lifetime, or conditioning that was never yours. Through Human Design, she shows people how they are perfectly designed. Through past-life and ancestral work, she helps them release what they've been carrying across generations. Through intuitive psychotherapy, she creates space for deep, lasting integration. Nadia believes we each have a soul purpose we came here for, and her work helps people tap into theirs through completion, alignment, and remembering. Twenty-four years ago, Nadia met her husband serendipitously at a frame shop in Southfield, Michigan. In 2020, they moved with their two sons to Northern Michigan, where they hike daily in the woods with their dog Tazo. Nadia doesn't guide from theory; she guides from lived truth, grounded in nature and the spiritual experiences that have shaped her path.   Contact Nadia at: Website: www.NadiaElmagrabi.com Email: nadia@nadiaelmagrabi.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nadia_elmagrabi/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61564136733328   Call To Speak Live event June 6, 2026 in Wyandott, Michigan use code NADIA to receive an extra $50 off any tier ticket until March 15 VIP ticket: https://apricity.myflodesk.com/hnvf9k12ar Elevation Tier Ticket: https://apricity.myflodesk.com/blzsex3s47 General Admission: https://apricity.myflodesk.com/sfd8em0edt
