“My favorite part about Jungian Analysis is in comparison to a lot of different psychological theories or practices, it doesn't leave out the soul. It includes the soul. I can't imagine doing something without considering that part of us,” - Melissa Kim Corter, Writer & Depth Psychologist.

In this episode of Real Talk, Grace speaks with Melissa Kim Corter, Writer & Depth Psychologist, about her practice of the Jungian Analysis and its use of dreams and symbols to help individuals overcome obstacles and set in motion success both personally and professionally.

In this episode we’ll dive deeper into these key takeaways:


Connection. In the Jungian philosophy, the mind and body are intricately linked, fostering a sense of interconnectedness with the broader world and other individuals. This notion of a profound understanding or deeper self resonates across various religious and belief systems.


The Power of Intuition. While intuition itself is subject to the nuances of our individual psychological makeup, our ability to channel this intuition can be strengthened. Listen as Melissa shares a few processes that can help strengthen your intuition. Research indicates that dedicating as little as 15 minutes daily to engage with this process can facilitate a transition from heightened Beta or Alpha Beta brainwave states to the more receptive Theta state.


Just begin. Start by jotting down your thoughts - what you’re grateful for, or even what happened that day. In doing so, you’ll move your consciousness into a more tranquil state. As Theta impulses begin to manifest, intuitive insights may emerge, initially indistinguishable from one's own internal dialogue.


Embrace the ego. In our conscious practice we must discern when our ego is safeguarding us from perceived harm, and instances where it instills unwarranted fear of exploration. How do we do this? Write. Provide these thoughts an outlet so they do not interfere with intuitive processes.

“It’s not us or them. This is humanity. Everybody wants to live in peace with their families and have basic human rights,” - Ghassan Shamieh, Attorney Partner at Shamieh, Shamieh & Ternieden.

In this episode of Real Talk, Grace speaks with Ghassan Shamieh, immigration attorney partner at Shamieh, Shamieh & Ternieden. The son of Palestinian immigrants, Ghassan was compelled to pursue a career in law after witnessing firsthand the systemic disparities in access to essential services confronting marginalized communities on a daily basis.

In this episode we’ll dive deeper into these key takeaways:


Never underestimate the power of showing up. Whether it’s calling your senator or simply listening as someone recounts their experiences, Ghassan explains how the simple act of showing up can impact real change on individual lives and within the legal framework of our nation.


Unity through advocacy. Amid ongoing tragedies in regions such as Palestine, Gaza and Ukraine, immigration attorneys nationwide are uniting to advocate for more robust laws and policies, facilitating safe passage and essential services into the United States.


Justice through reconciliation. Reflecting on his experiences in South Africa, Ghassan highlights the transformative power of restorative justice, wherein residents of Johannesburg spoke with their former oppressors to address the injustices inflicted upon themselves and their families. Through these profound exchanges, forgiveness and reconciliation were attained, fostering national unity and progression.


You are enough. So often individuals grapple with the belief that they must do more to aid those in need. Ghassan, drawing from his own experiences of maintaining physical and emotional well-being, underscores that success lies in striking a balance between professional commitments, familial responsibilities, and the pursuit of social change. A robust support network enables him to remain grounded and focused on manageable objectives each day.
