    Spirit Warrior: Angels, Demons & Energy Healing Explained | Frank Sansalone

    What happens when a home holds something you can't see — but can feel? Angels, demons, spiritual warfare, and unexplained encounters. In this fascinating episode of Stories with Wiz, former NFL Raider Steve Wisniewski sits down with intuitive healer Frank Sanzolone, a self-described spiritual warrior who shares extraordinary stories from his experiences clearing homes and properties to what he believes are negative spiritual energies. Frank takes us inside the mysterious world of energy healing, spiritual cleansing, and the unseen forces he believes can affect our lives. Together, they explore some intriguing questions: What are angels and demons, and how might they influence our lives? What exactly is energy healing, and how does it work? Can homes and properties carry negative spiritual energy? How can someone distinguish between spiritual, physical, and psychological struggles? What is spiritual warfare, and how does Frank prepare for it? Why does he pray for protection before beginning his work? How does his Christian faith intersect with his spiritual healing practices? Steve also shares personal experiences involving Frank that have challenged him to think more deeply about the unseen spiritual world. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or simply curious about what might exist beyond our physical senses, this conversation invites you to explore some of life's greatest mysteries.

    Ricky G: The Man Behind the Art | Tattoos, Trauma, Loss & Purpose

    Behind the tattoos, the humor, and the larger-than-life personality is a man who has endured extraordinary pain — and found a way to turn it into purpose. Celebrity tattoo artist, actor, and visual artist Ricky G (Richard Pis) has spent more than 30 years creating art. But his most powerful story isn't found in the tattoos. It's found in the life that shaped the artist. In this deeply personal episode of Stories with Wiz, Ricky shares his journey from a childhood marked by trauma and early encounters with death to becoming a caregiver for his brother Roberto during his battle with AIDS. He opens up about devastating loss, a life-threatening illness that left him on life support, severe depression, and the moments when his faith in God was tested to its limits. We explore how art became an outlet for pain, the emotional scars we carry, the danger of judging people by their appearance, and the powerful connection between tattoos and trust. And perhaps most inspiring is how Ricky now uses his artistic gifts to bring joy, imagination, and hope to children battling serious illnesses. Through it all, Ricky challenges us to ask a different question when life becomes overwhelming: Instead of asking, "Why is this happening to me?" ask, "What is this preparing me for?" This is more than a conversation about tattoos. It's a story of love, grief, resilience, faith, and discovering that even our deepest wounds can become a source of hope for others. 🎙️ Stories with Wiz — Courage. Healing. Hope.

    Quantum Energy Healing: What We Cannot See | Karen Morgan

    What if the source of our pain isn't always something we can see? What if the emotional wounds we carry, the trauma we've experienced, and the beliefs we've developed are preventing us from truly healing? In this fascinating episode of Stories with Wiz, former Oakland Raiders offensive lineman Steve Wisniewski sits down with Karen Morgan, quantum energy healing practitioner, entrepreneur, and passionate baker, to explore the connection between our minds, bodies, emotions, and the unseen energy that may influence our lives. Karen shares her journey into quantum energy healing, how she works to identify and clear energetic blockages associated with unresolved trauma, and why some people struggle to heal while others experience profound transformation.
