    S2 E13 - Ding-Dong! Death and Taxes with Nancy Norton

    S2 E13 - Ding-Dong! Death and Taxes with Nancy Norton

    S2 E13 - Ding-Dong! Death and Taxes with Nancy Norton - Nancy has a dream that leads her to the discovery that her sociopathic ex is dead. Ding-Dong the Witch is Dead! Complex emotions arise from shock and disbelief to relief, then grief and back to gratitude. If you've suffered Narcissistic or Sociopathic abuse then you know the horrors don't stop when the relationship ends, that is often when the abuse escalates. Sometimes resulting in a lifetime of looking over your shoulder and watching for the next blindsiding hurtful moment.

    This episode was recorded on Tax Day 2024 when Nancy discovers she has manifested the exact annual income she envisioned all year and now must pay the taxes. Again, complicated feelings.

    S2 E12 - Rich Ferguson Part 2 - He's Baaaack!

    S2 E12- Rich Ferguson Part 2 - He's Baaaack! Listen to Part 1 to appreciate just how far Rich has come and how he is now able to do his amazing high energy, entertaining and educational Keynotes again because he actively let go of resentments, anger and other emotional ties to the people who had harmed him, his insomnia, depression and pain subsided overnight. He had been incapacitated by a severe car accident that damaged his gifted brain, his dexterous body and interrupted all the work he put into a rising trajectory in a new career. All this after having overcome one devastating childhood event after another and becoming an advocate for Foster Kids with CASA and Big Brother and a Spokesperson for Big Brothers/Big Sisters. Rich is an award winning mentalist, magician and Prank Master who has been featured on multiple network Talk Shows and he currently has almost 3 Million YouTube Subscribers and is a Motivational Keynote Speaker.
