#32 - Max Dougherty and our mystical journey to healing 11/14/2025

#32 - Max Dougherty and our mystical journey to healing Max Dougherty is many things… An astrologer, a Mystic, a transformational coach and an activator. I’ve been working with him now for over a year and he has been each of these things to me… And a lot more! In this conversation we talk about how spirit comes to Max, overcoming a pain pill addiction, finding out about past lives and I show firsthand what HIA is all about… Healing In Action. I find it hard to describe my journey with Max in words. Sometimes it feels very otherworldly. We have shared visions of past lives not only with Max and I, but with a great friend and part of this journey, LaLa Deaton. LaLa was on my last podcast with Robby Blair and she’s a big part of this conversation today. I did my best to bring a voice to what I have experienced with Max over the last year. Yes he’s an astrologer and reads the star charts. But it’s the way he delivers the message and the intuition behind it, that has helped me in my healing journey. Honestly, I’ve had a hard time telling people I’m working with an astrologer. It feels kind of woo woo… And it is… In the most amazing way. I love woo woo now and it is a big part of my life because I realize there is so much more to reality than what we’ve been told. Max is finding his voice just like I’m finding mine. I could’ve talked to him for another couple hours and we will definitely do another podcast in the future. Enjoy this journey with Max Dougherty and it is my hope that I was able to create the words that convey how magical, mystical and supernatural both Max‘s talents are and my transformation has been since I’ve been working with Max.

#28 - Leland Holgate Sr. - Willing the Warrior Within 03/08/2023

#28 - Leland Holgate Sr. - Willing the Warrior Within Leland introduction The breath… Is so essential for our well-being. Without it, we don’t survive long at all. And yet…it’s easily taken for granted. It happens automatically, we don’t have to think about it. Ancient cultures knew the value of the breath, and it was revered and utilized. Today we’re so busy with so many things that we forget one of the best medicines we can have is readily available, doesn’t take a prescription and is beneficial in ways that more people need to know about. My guest today is a man who knows about the breath very well. His name is Leland Holgate Sr and he started learning about the breath by accident… Actually due to an accident. As a young man, he was involved in a boating accident, which left him a quadriplegic. Fortunately, the physical therapist assigned to him was also a Yogi who knew a lot about ancient breath, yoga and their benefits to the body. Doctors said there was no cure and we’re preparing him for life in a wheelchair. His military training and sensation He felt during the breath told him something different. Today Leland is fully functioning and has created the Willful Warrior. A nonprofit helping change lives through the breath work Leland has created over the last decade. He’s a studying neuropsychologist with an upcoming double doctorate. He knows the science behind the breath and I love the way he explains it. The Willful Warrior Welcome Home Method is a breath practice that activates gene expression that up-regulates health in every aspect of the body and brain… It also has a very positive affect on the mind and emotions. When the breath is done properly, there’s a biochemical shift away from the hormones of stress and increasing the happy hormones like oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin and endorphins. I completely geek out with him about what’s going on in the body when we do the breath. Leland’s experience coming from a wheelchair has been invaluable for me. I met him at a Dr. Joe Dispenza event in Niagara Falls in September 2022. He was a volunteer at the event. Every Dr Joe event I have been to, the volunteers are absolutely amazing. So ready to help with authentic and enormous hearts. Leland is a perfect example of this. I’ve been fortunate to be able to interact with Leland on a regular basis, and when I have days where doubt and fear creep in… I’ve been able to reach out to him and get support from a man who knows what I’m talking about. He’s been in my shoes… Or in my seat I should say. I love synchronicities when the universe provides them. Before we started this podcast something very exciting happened that Leland was able to share. One of the warriors in this community has had MS for a couple years and has been doing the breath for a couple months. Right before we started the podcast Leland got the news that she had just gotten an MRI with a die test and the doctors say her MS is no longer visible. In remission! I love how he got this news right before we started talking and what a beautiful sign it is… Knowing the symptoms in this body are definitely helped by doing the breath work. I got involved with The Willful Warrior and started doing the breath after I came back from the Dr Joe Cancun event in December 2022. As of right now I’ve been doing it a couple months. The biggest thing I’ve noticed with this technique is I get to a place where I completely leave my body… I feel like I’m floating out of my wheelchair…being pulled up to the sky. It is an amazing feeling and I know without a doubt my body is receiving the upgraded chemicals, and I am up regulating my genes. Leland talks about when he was first paralyzed. He would do the breath and feel more sensation 1 inch at a time. Reiterating that you got to notice the little things and those add up when you continue to do the work. /episode/index/show/howyoureallydoin/id/26162922

#25 - Jill Goux - Healing Empaths and Gaia Everything in this world is made of energy. Nikola Tesla, once said, if you want to find the secrets of the universe… Think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration. This podcast is about the energy that connects us and the role it plays in our health, humanity and Mother Gaia. My guest is Jill Goux…that’s GOUX. Jill calls herself The Energy Renovator. As an intuitive transformational coach, energy healer, master dowser and spiritual teacher, she’s been helping people for almost 3 decades to clean up their energy, and understand how to navigate from day to day. She teaches simple and profound tools and techniques that she has mastered over the years. Here is a quote from her website which explains Jill very well… “Empowering conscious women who are highly sensitive empaths to better understand and manage their energetic systems so they can expand their purpose and step into their power with more ease, grace, and flow.” Recently, Jill has been called to travel the country and change the energy. She has packed up her house, put it in storage and started what she calls the Trip The Light Tour. She is traveling around the country and connecting with amazing people, to expand the heart and raise the vibration of this country through crystal gridding and sound. Jill performs a ceremony at each location she visits and buries activated crystals that tap into transformational timelines and support a New World paradigm to emerge. Her journey is about gathering momentum as a collective group to share our gifts, create beautiful connections, expand heart centered energy, and anchor light. Jill and I talk about how it takes practice to change our belief systems and how being an empath is a strength not a weakness. Jill has helped countless people over the years to navigate the energy we live in on a day-to-day basis. Not to take on the energy from other people or let it drain you. She explains what it was like when she found her super powers (that’s what I call anyone’s intuitive abilities) and how stepping into the unknown can be scary as hell. I truly enjoyed my conversation with Jill! To connect with Jill or support her Trip The Light Tour go to: www.JillGoux.com /episode/index/show/howyoureallydoin/id/25212891

#23 - Scott Sunderland and Em Hollis - Paradigm Shift to Healing I’ve been on a journey of personal transformation. A journey to rediscover how I am REALLY doin’. A paradigm shift has occurred for me and in this podcast I bring a different perspective that I hope will open some eyes and begin conversation. I’ve never REALLY shared my background in my podcast and it is time for me to do so. I have gone down the rabbit hole in order to find a way to feel better. MS has never felt like me and I’m on a path to find, and define, my truth. In doing this I discovered Dr. Joe Dispenza. I’ll describe his work in my life and how it led me to my guests today. Scott Sunderland and Em Hollis are living proof of personal transformation and healing. They each have amazing individual stories and they have come together to create The Freedom Project. I’ve been taking their course called Beyond Limits and it has stretched me to overcome my past and step into my future. Scott Sunderland - from paralyzed to walking!

#22 - Chloe Cohen - Living in power over limitations 03/15/2019

#22 - Chloe Cohen - Living in power over limitations How much you believe… In yourself? Can you put your feet on the ground in the morning are you focusing on your power… Or limitations? Chloe Cohen was diagnosed with relapsing remitting MS in 1998. She had a Trumatic head injury and within hours she was having tremors on her left side. She was only 20 years old and an aspiring cellist. That all changed. The early years after diagnosis were lonely for Chloe as they are for a lot of us. In order to find some people to share with, she cofounded an MS support group. And I’m so thankful she did. I’ve been involved with this group since 2007 and you can see Chloe‘s personality stamp on it because the meetings are always very positive and upbeat. Like she is. I have known Chloe for over 10 years and that time I have seen her belief, trust herself skyrocket. It hasn’t been easy, but she’s created a recipe That allows her power to shine despite any limitations the MS has brought on. Chloe knows she didn’t get MS at such a young age to cry about it. She’s here to teach and share her story. Whether it be in the gym and lifting more weight than she ever thought she could, speaking at MS events or in her writing She is a true example of how hard work, tenacious persistence and soulful desire can lead to amazing things. Chloe has written a book and the ebook comes out in May 2019. Chloe and I have been honored to be involved in the most recent national MS Society‘s awareness campaign. Through black-and-white pictures and heartfelt videos we got to tell our stories and it was profoundly touching for both of us. In this podcast Chloe mentions walking in the photo shoot while I was getting my picture taken and it brought her to tears. I think that’s the power of this campaign in that it touches our soul. For me it’s my daughters. For Chloe it’s the loss of her musical abilities.
