- Actionable strategies to move from "getting through" life, to cultivating a life where you thrive in peace, happiness, and fulfillment.

- Why therapy is not nearly as effective as we need it to be given the scope of the mental health problem in today's society.

- Accessing the lasting peace and happiness that exist within everyone's mind, without obscuring them by relying on external circumstances which leads to anxiety, depression, and ineffective strategies for well-being.
- Why are ethics so important to happiness, what mistakes are people often making in this area, and why? What can be done about that?
- How to cultivate happiness and calm your nervous system in 15 minutes or less.
- Understanding how your mind has been structured and organized, how this organization obscures the place of peace and happiness, and how it can be reorganized to provide constant access to that peace.
- Understanding how habits really change and how discipline is actually cultivated.

In Steep: A Black Neurosurgeon's Journey, DR. CRAIG YORKE traces a life defined by ascent—personal and professional. Born in Roxbury, Massachusetts, and molded by parents who demanded excellence as both armor and ambition, Yorke's journey from the projects of Boston to the operating rooms of Topeka, Kansas, is both breathtaking and intimate.
A graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Medical School, Yorke became a neurosurgeon in an era when few Black physicians walked hospital halls. Yet Steep is less a story of racism's obvious blows than of the subtler burdens success can impose. It asks: What is the cost of living your parents' dream, rather than your own? How do you reconcile brilliance with belonging, triumph with tenderness?
Carig's story is a meditation on identity, legacy, and the pursuit of meaning. The title itself evokes both arduous climbs and slow transformations—the double edge of a life "steeped" in expectation. Moving from Boston's grit to Kansas calm, Yorke reveals not only the making of a surgeon, but the unmaking of a man who must learn to live beyond achievement.

ALLIE CHANDLER is the founder of Upsell Health, where she helps functional medicine practitioners and wellness brands scale to $2-10M+ through marketing that feels as natural as the healing they provide.
Allie's path into wellness marketing began in the most unexpected way. In 2013, while teaching high school creative writing, she took what was supposed to be a liberating trip to Europe. Instead, she found herself mysteriously ill in Amsterdam, beginning an eight-year journey through chronic Lyme disease, mold toxicity, parasites, heart issues and the frustrating world of "everything looks normal" test results. Those years of being bedbound, losing 35 pounds in two months, and navigating complex health protocols taught her exactly what patients are looking for—and how to help practitioners reach them.
This personal experience, combined with her Master's in Writing from California College of the Arts, gave her a unique perspective on wellness marketing. She understood both the science and the human story behind it.
Her career includes leadership roles at some of the biggest names in functional medicine. Today, through Upsell Health, Allie offers her Practitioner Archetype Framework and done-for-you marketing services, helping healers build practices that thrive—without sacrificing their health or authenticity in the process.

He discusses extraordinary moments around death and how he and the dying person's loved ones have been affected..
Adam speaks of personal experiences of synchronicity (e.g., his father's passing on a pilgrimage. The book affirms that consciousness continues beyond physical death, citing overwhelming evidence and personal reflection. "Even after bodily death, the seemingly separated mind keeps on going and dreaming". Death is portrayed as symbolic of the belief in separation. Healing occurs by recognizing death's unreality: "The first step in forgiving death is to recognize its unreality... "The most real thing is love".

She is both a practitioner and teacher of "Brainspotting" a powerful technique in healing trauma.
Mariya says, "I am a woman. I am a body of culture. I am a person in recovery. I am an immigrant. I am a student of life. I am a partner, educator, sister, daughter, and friend. I am a passionate and curious individual dedicated to creating health and wellness for individuals, communities, and societies. I believe in deep, nourishing, and holistic change that heals from the roots up."
I was born in India and lived in France, Brazil, and the United States all before the age of six. My experience with vastly different cultures piqued my curiosity about humans and diverse societies from a young age. Blending and assimilating my culture of origin with the United States has been and continues to be an integral part of my story. It has also shaped my ability to assist others in reclaiming their identities as multi-dimensional and complex human beings.
These early life experiences in global societies defined my open worldview and appreciation for the diverse walks of life that humanity encompasses. I am grateful for the expansiveness they have provided my foundation.
My own journey with addiction and my challenging path to recovery over ten years ago has also given me depth and compassion as a therapist. I gained a firsthand understanding of the quest of the human mind to find a sense of belonging and settledness in an ever-shifting world. These experiences have given me the ability to approach all people with openness, non-judgment, and patience. They have also taught me to be tenacious in my pursuit of healing self and others. Hope is a powerful survival mechanism.

de Description JON LABMAN'S life's work is about helping people overcome trauma, anxiety, self-doubt and low self-esteem, while waking up to their deepest nature as the Absolute, like he did himself..Jon was traumatized at home, bullied at school, and lived in uncomprehending misery for years, including being in and out of extreme religious cults and doing many years of psychotherapy work as a client. He understands how difficult the process of change can be, because Jon lived and still lives it.He also knows how awesome the rewards of moving towards Liberation are.
Jon was bound and determined to feel better, and that kept him alive and persisting through numerous 'false starts. He started working with my first psychologist at the age of 15, but didn't really take to the work until he was nearly 30. Jon started on an active spiritual path at the same time which has taken him into Judaism, evangelical and then new age Christianity, and finally into the mystical awakening traditions of the East (Hinduism, Yoga, Buddhism, etc.)
He started my professional journey as an administrative and technical writing professional, but then moved into working with people, first as a Licensed Massage Therapist, where he realized that the most rewarding part of the work was listening to clients' life stories. Jon then returned to school and earned a Master's in Counseling Psychology. Since then, He's been the Director of the Trauma Treatment Program at a large agency, receiving numerous accreditations, written four books, and earned two trauma treatment certifications from the world-famous specialists Dr. Bessel van der Kolk and Dr. Bruce Perry – all while seeing clients full-time. Jon also studied Energy Healing for 3 years, got a 500-hour certification as a Yoga Teacher, and began teaching meditation and spiritual awakening in 2001.
For the last 23 years,Jon been helping people move from a tortured existence to a life of peace and contentment, living from the shining center or Core of who they are.

BEVERLY A. JENSEN, Ph.D., is a health champion and promoter, a life-long practitioner of natural medicine, an international speaker, trainer, and certified health coach. She's worked in more than 30 countries and lived abroad many years learning how other nations practice wellness.
After training Czech physicians in the use of the internet in 1999, she founded www.WomensMedicineBowl.com in 2003. The site provides information particularly for women, who make all the family health decisions, on how to take responsibility for their own health.
Since 2019, her work has focused on creating awareness of the health impacts of Electro-Magnetic Radiation from wireless. And especially how it's affecting children. The message is targeted to parents at www.YouAndEMF.com. Moms may make the family's health decisions, but in this situation, getting Dads onboard is crucial for success and the health of everyone.
Recently, legislation in Congress allowed telecom to transmit EM frequencies in national parks and nature reserves. All wildlife will be affected, beyond the birds, bees and insects—our food pollinators.
While individually we cannot control corporate or government actions, there are many steps we can take to protect ourselves and our families and reduce our exposure to Electro-Magnetic Radiation. In our homes, in our workplaces and in our play we can shield ourselves.
We talk about:
-Radiation in our homes from routers, cell phones and Smart Electrical Meters.
-Methods to mitigate exposure to EMR
-How corporations work to increase profits in lieu of safety.
-How are children more vulnerable to the radiation amd how to protect them.
-Parenting groups in Facebook and Instagram to help educate adn advocate for policy change.

MARIYA JAVED-PAYNE, MSW, LICSW, LADC is a somatic psychotherapist specializing in healing trauma, complex trauma, addiction, generational and racial trauma, and oppression in the body. She is both a practitioner and teacher of "Brainspotting" a powerful technique in healing trauma.
Mariya says, "I am a woman. I am a body of culture. I am a person in recovery. I am an immigrant. I am a student of life. I am a partner, educator, sister, daughter, and friend. I am a passionate and curious individual dedicated to creating health and wellness for individuals, communities, and societies. I believe in deep, nourishing, and holistic change that heals from the roots up."
I was born in India and lived in France, Brazil, and the United States all before the age of six. My experience with vastly different cultures piqued my curiosity about humans and diverse societies from a young age. Blending and assimilating my culture of origin with the United States has been and continues to be an integral part of my story. It has also shaped my ability to assist others in reclaiming their identities as multi-dimensional and complex human beings.
These early life experiences in global societies defined my open worldview and appreciation for the diverse walks of life that humanity encompasses. I am grateful for the expansiveness they have provided my foundation.
My own journey with addiction and my challenging path to recovery over ten years ago has also given me depth and compassion as a therapist. I gained a firsthand understanding of the quest of the human mind to find a sense of belonging and settledness in an ever-shifting world. These experiences have given me the ability to approach all people with openness, non-judgment, and patience. They have also taught me to be tenacious in my pursuit of healing self and others. Hope is a powerful survival mechanism.

Over the past 15 years in academic R&D, she has focused on developing innovative and sustainable bioproducts. Now, as Director of Science at Longevity Labs, she leads global research collaborations and drives innovation to translate cutting-edge science into practical solutions for health and longevity.

MALITTA SEAMON is the author of “Mindset Freedom: Seven Steps to Unlock Your Power In Life, Love, and Leadership”, a business strategist, coach, author, speaker, and trusted adviser to CEOs, C-suite executives and leaders. She co-founded Inbound Leadership to help unlock untapped potential for greater impact by fostering safe spaces for leaders to reflect, be vulnerable, a=]d grow—her true passion.
Malitta says,“When women feel drained at work or at home, we often blame ourselves for taking on too much or not finding “balance.” But what if the real reason we’re running on empty is that we’re constantly contorting ourselves—shrinking, bending, over-accommodating, and over-delivering to meet other people’s expectations?”
For years, that’s exactly what Malitta did.While building an eight-figure business with her husband, Brad Seamon, and raising a family, she continually adjusted and overperformed to meet roles and standards defined by others. Until the cost of contortion became too high.
The business hit a breaking point—and so did her marriage. In the fallout, Malitta finally asked herself a question too many high-achieving women avoid: What would it look like to lead without apology—and live without shape-shifting? We talk about:
- Why women feel pressure to contort—trying to “make it work” at their own expense.
- The subtle but powerful signs that you’re bending too far.
- The real cost of chronic self-adjustment—emotionally, professionally, and relationally.
- Why chasing “balance” keeps us stuck—and what to pursue instead.
- How to stop the cycle of self-betrayal and start leading with clarity, courage, and authenticity.

STEPHEN CHONG had a profound Spiritual Awakening Experience in 2019 after he fell five metres off a ladder and fractured his neck. Stephen says, "This life experience is what I know and understand to be a ‘Pivot or Turning Point’ … where I had to choose what happens after. It was about three months into the rehabilitation when things became a little clearer."
Stepen's. new book, The Afterlife; A Journey To: Now You Know What Will Happen, delves into his Near-Death Experience (NDE) talking about what Heaven was like, how he came to understand the rules of Heaven, and the incredible guides, events and scenarios which take place there. He also offers the following about "purgatory",,, "Upon death, we passage through a tunnel of light and the silver cord (which connects the eternal soul to the physical body) is severed, and unlike an NDE, we are unable to return. Entry into these ‘Mists’ or ‘Purgatory’ confirms our life’s journey through the law of ‘What you sow, so shall you reap’. It is a confrontation with the self. What you have done (or not done) and what you have ‘caused to effect’ in your fellow man. It is a ‘Life Review’ where every moment of life is flashed before you and you see what you have done to and for people. In this place, ‘The emperor wears no clothes’. Your status, position, title, etc. are null and void. It is what you have done to others that holds the key … we are all one in spirit … ‘Whatyou have done to another, you do to yourself’."

ANTRA GETZOFF & MARIA ENSEBELLA discuss the healing power of cryotherapy and their new book, “Reinventing Cool: How to Make COLD Your Best Ally Against Inflammation, Pain and Aging,” in which they explain the science behind why modern-day whole-body cryotherapy is not like ‘an ice bath on steroids’ and just why it really is the best option for your health.
Antra Getzoff, born and schooled in Latvia, has been a cryotherapy & wellness entrepreneur for more than 13 years of her diverse career in business.
Like most cryotherapy aficionados, she first discovered the power of cold on her own body, finding stress relief, energy boost and sleep improvement in the difficult times of running a 250-people company through the 2008 financial crisis.
In 2018, Antra founded the International Alliance for Cryotherapy Professionals (CryoProsUnited) – an industry-unifying resource and training platform and community that soon grew to several thousand members worldwide. Reborn into GetResultsCo, her company keeps educating cryotherapy providers and promoting the best practices in the industry. She is also a Vice-Chair of the Global Wellness Institute Cryotherapy Initiative.
Maria Ensabella had always had a keen eye for health and fitness; actually, more aesthetics and fitness than health. Weight training, marathons, yoga, boxing etc.
At the heart of her journey was the amazing concept of Cryotherapy, the centerpiece of her life, and the backbone of her health optimisation and wealth accumulation.
While visiting New York City, Maria was introduced to Whole Body Cryotherapy and decided to research it and try out a session; it felt amazing, like a million bucks. The positive experience with Cryotherapy led to trying further sessions in Melbourne and Sydney, again resulting in amazing results, Maria felt like she was walking on air. So, upon her return to London, she was disappointed to discover that this renewing therapy was simply not accessible. She immediately quit her job and decided to establish a clinic where others could enjoy the numerous benefits of this rejuvenating therapy. It was a huge risk, but one worth taking and so, LondonCryo was born.
In their book they also describes unique client case studies and little-known scientific research.
PHIL WILSON received an honors degree in mathematics in 1970 and then spent 5 years studying the history and philosophy of mathematics in graduate school.
In 1970, he had an out-of-body experience and a kundalini awakening. These two incidents made Phil very sensitive and propelled him from the world of mathematics into the world of Holistic Health.
Phil became a pioneer in the 1970s, promoting fasting, herbs, and a pure diet. In 1980, he opened a health food store and health food distribution company, focusing on selling cutting-edge nutritional products and massage tools to over 1,100 health food stores and health professionals monthly.
In 2002, Phil was introduced to the Relax Far Infrared Sauna. He has spent the last 22 years educating many about not only the benefits of Far Infrared Light but also the incredible difference between the light emitted from the Relax Sauna and the frequency of light energy emitted by other good infrared saunas. We not only discuss the benefits of the latest in sauna technology, but the concept of living in the now, the parasympathetic nervous system and the importance of connection to the Earth and other people.
Phil considers the Relax Sauna the pinnacle of all the products he has ever promoted that promote health and freedom for the individual. He has exhibited the Relax Sauna at over 500 conferences, and out of the 150,000 who have experienced it at conferences, he has seen at least 30,000 – 40,000 minor or significant miracles. Phil’s talks and interviews are highly informative, laced with humor and wisdom, and uplifting!
Phil Wilson's journey. His dive into holistic health following a transformative experience has shaped his unique outlook.
Phil's pioneering work with cutting-edge nutritional products and especially the Relax Far Infrared Sauna stands out. Over 6000 units sold speaks to his impact in the field. His stories of the thousands who've experienced what he calls "miracles" through the sauna are inspiring.

DR. MICHELLE JORGENSEN, DDS After a decade and a half of studying and practicing dentistry and medicine so that she could keep others well, Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, DDS’ own body was sick. As a young mom of four busy, growing children, she was stretched between a demanding business and a taxing home life. She had no energy and felt like she could barely keep her head above water. She couldn’t sleep through the night or hold her dental instruments without pain and numbness in her hands and arms. Her diet had been whittled down to a few “safe” foods that she could eat without stomach pain, and her once very sharp memory couldn’t remember crucial details about patients and procedures. Something was very wrong but a plethora of doctors, blood tests, scopes, and X-rays all told her it was stress.
There was one test the doctors didn’t run and she asked for at the suggestion from a new practitioner friend—mercury toxicity.
“When my test results came back, I was floored,” says Dr. Jorgensen. “My mercury levels were so high they were off the charts. Finally, I had an answer, and it was simple. The mercury in those seemingly innocent fillings that I had been removing from my patients’ teeth was poisoning me and my cells. After learning about my toxic mercury levels, I swung between disbelief and anger that, as a dentist, I hadn’t been warned about this inherent danger, and profound relief that I had an answer for what was causing my body’s systems to fail.”
Her five-year path to recovery led Dr. Jorgensen to discover ways to improve her family’s and her own health in all facets of life. Now, her new book breaks down what “health” really means for every cell in your body. In Living Well with Dr. Michelle: A Comprehensive Handbook for Optimal Health and Unlimited Energy (BenBella, May 20th, 2025), Dr. Michelle makes it simple, breaking down the true meaning of health at the cellular level and beyond. Drawing from time-tested wisdom and evidence-based modern science, she provides a clear, practical path to lasting well-being.
Watch Dr. Michelle’s intro video here.
We talk about:
● How to Have the Energy You Want, Without Getting Lost in Today's Health Trends
● The Secret to Lasting Energy: Your Cells
● Fueling Your Body with What It Needs (Eating seasonally, prioritizing whole foods, staying hydrated, including health fats)
● Creating a Healthy Environment for Your Cells (reduce toxins, manage stress, support you detox system, rest and recover)

Did you know that half of Americans are overweight? It’s a shocking wake-up call—and ARIANA HAKMAN, founder and COO of LunaFit, is on a mission to turn the tide. With a passion for helping busy professionals and parents, Ariana has developed simple, sustainable fitness habits that prevent disease and unlock the body’s natural ability to heal.
Her goal? To empower a healthier America, one habit at a time.
Ariana’s journey is as inspiring as it is relatable. Burned out in corporate finance and yearning for purpose, she made a bold shift—trading spreadsheets for health goals—with her daughter on her hip. Starting with mommy-and-me classes, she turned a personal mission into a thriving wellness movement. But it hasn’t been without challenges.
COVID forced Ariana and her team to adapt quickly when their gyms shut down.

This challenge not only ensured LunaFit’s survival, but also sparked the idea for an app, expanding their reach and making health and fitness accessible to anyone, anywhere—a defining moment that transformed their mission.

Unleash the radical, transformative power at the heart of the world's great wisdom traditions.
Of the many paths up the mountain, that of crazy-wisdom, although one of the lesser travelled, presents a dramatic and formidable climb to those that are so inclined. Now for the first time, the true spiritual landscape of the wise-fool has been laid bare and its features and principal landmarks revealed.
Written in two parts, loosely based on the theory and practice of crazy-wisdom, The Monkey in the Bodhi Tree is the first comprehensive look at this universal phenomenon, from its origins and development to the lives of its greatest adepts and luminaries.
In addition to the theoretical foundations laid down in Part I, Part II deals with its practice and aims to demonstrate crazy-wisdom in action. To this end, 151 teaching tales from around the world have been meticulously gathered and retold to illustrate the methods of the great masters and adepts - stories that not only give practical insight but also, like Zen koans, can be used as contemplative tools to illuminate and provoke epiphany.
From the enigmatic Mahasiddhas of ancient India to the eccentric Taoist poet-monks of China, from the uncompromising insights of the Buddhist Tantrikas to the unconventional wisdom of Sufi heretics and the utter surrender to God displayed by the Fools for Christ, this book will take you to a place where the boundaries of logic and reason dissolve and enlightenment awaits those daring enough to venture forth.

STEPHEN CHONG had a profound Spiritual Awakening Experience in 2019 after he fell five metres off a ladder and fractured his neck. Stephen says, "This life experience is what I know and understand to be a ‘Pivot or Turning Point’ … where I had to choose what happens after. It was about three months into the rehabilitation when things became a little clearer."
Stepen's. new book, The Afterlife; A Journey To: Now You Know What Will Happen, delves into his Near-Death Experience (NDE) talking about what Heaven was like, how he came to understand the rules of Heaven, and the incredible guides, events and scenarios which take place there. He also offers the following about "purgatory",,, "Upon death, we passage through a tunnel of light and the silver cord (which connects the eternal soul to the physical body) is severed, and unlike an NDE, we are unable to return. Entry into these ‘Mists’ or ‘Purgatory’ confirms our life’s journey through the law of ‘What you sow, so shall you reap’. It is a confrontation with the self. What you have done (or not done) and what you have ‘caused to effect’ in your fellow man. It is a ‘Life Review’ where every moment of life is flashed before you and you see what you have done to and for people. In this place, ‘The emperor wears no clothes’. Your status, position, title, etc. are null and void. It is what you have done to others that holds the key … we are all one in spirit … ‘Whatyou have done to another, you do to yourself’."

The nursing profession is in crisis. Within a decade, the world will have just over half the number of nurses it needs. The global nursing workforce has experienced mass, complex trauma secondary to healthcare system inadequacies and a global pandemic. Traumatized and burned out nurses are leaving their roles or the profession in unprecedented numbers. Those who remain are stretched to or beyond their capacity. While system-level strategies aim to address this crisis, none of them consider nurse traumatization and its impact upon patient safety, outcomes, and quality of care. We cannot wait for health systems to prioritize nurse safety. Nurses can and must come together as a global community to heal through avoidable and unavoidable nurse-specific traumatization while partnering with healthcare leaders to usher in a new era of nursing.
This book, through an actionable framework, guides nurses in healing the traumas and hardships they’ve endured as individuals and nursing communities. Grounded in the sciences of unitary caring, integrative nursing, neurophysiology, and transpersonal neurobiology, this book supports nurses in restoring their healers’ heart as they come together to address the deep trauma, burnout, attrition, and presenteeism that are central to the nursing crisis. Nurses will learn the language of their nervous system and how to navigate it as a foundational practice to support professional wellbeing. Each nurse will discover their unique innate care plan, which will guide their healing and co-healing with other nurses. By embracing the healing and practices offered in this book, nurses will learn how to support their nervous system regulation so they can thrive instead of survive in practice. Working from their healed scars instead of their open wounds, nurses can effectively lead sustainable organizational change and health care reforms that prioritize nurse safety and professional wellbeing.

Diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2017, Scott faced debilitating symptoms that impacted his daily life, including muscle rigidity, tremors, and intense sleep disturbances. Rather than resigning to a progressive decline, he took an unconventional route, combining high-intensity physical and cognitive exercises to effectively “train his brain” and regain control. Through CrossFit, Scott found a program that paired physical intensity with cognitive challenge, dramatically reversing his symptoms and leaving him 95% symptom-free—an outcome that has amazed his neurologists.
Scott delves into his transformative journey from his initial Parkinson’s diagnosis to becoming 95% symptom-free, challenging traditional medical expectations along the way. He shares the pivotal moments that reshaped his mindset, the unconventional methods he adopted—like combining CrossFit and cognitive exercises—and the impact of these practices on his life. This conversation covers Scott's belief in the power of mindset, the importance of self-advocacy in health, and his hope to inspire others facing chronic illness to redefine their potential.

LANEY ROSENAWEIG is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over three decades in the mental health field. In addition to her private practice, Laney trains licensed mental health professionals in the use of "ART", ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY. Laney has taken her training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitizaation Reprogramming) to a place where recovery is not only much faster (often as little as a one hour seession), but the patient does. not have to relive the trauma, nor the therapist hear about it. She describes the work as targeting the area of the brain which talk therapy is unable to access, and the patient is able to replace negative images with positive ones. While the memory of the trauma is not erased, its impact is mitigated. Laney says,“The most difficult aspect of discussing ART is the fact that it sounds too good to be true.”
We discuss her training, how she discovered and devleposed her technique, how she trains other practioners and offers many examples of successful patient treatment. To learn more, watch her TEDx Talk or find a practioner near you, please visit her website :

MARIYA JAVED-PAYNE, MSW, LICSW, LADC is a somatic psychotherapist specializing in healing trauma, complex trauma, addiction, generational and racial trauma, and oppression in the body. She is both a practitioner and teacher of “Brainspotting” a powerful technique in healing trauma.
Mariya says, “I am a woman. I am a body of culture. I am a person in recovery. I am an immigrant. I am a student of life. I am a partner, educator, sister, daughter, and friend. I am a passionate and curious individual dedicated to creating health and wellness for individuals, communities, and societies. I believe in deep, nourishing, and holistic change that heals from the roots up.”
I was born in India and lived in France, Brazil, and the United States all before the age of six. My experience with vastly different cultures piqued my curiosity about humans and diverse societies from a young age. Blending and assimilating my culture of origin with the United States has been and continues to be an integral part of my story. It has also shaped my ability to assist others in reclaiming their identities as multi-dimensional and complex human beings.
These early life experiences in global societies defined my open worldview and appreciation for the diverse walks of life that humanity encompasses. I am grateful for the expansiveness they have provided my foundation.
My own journey with addiction and my challenging path to recovery over ten years ago has also given me depth and compassion as a therapist. I gained a firsthand understanding of the quest of the human mind to find a sense of belonging and settledness in an ever-shifting world. These experiences have given me the ability to approach all people with openness, non-judgment, and patience. They have also taught me to be tenacious in my pursuit of healing self and others. Hope is a powerful survival mechanism.

WAYNE LEHRER, at 73, has fully moved into a new phase of life… the most rewarding so far. Wayne says, “I have prepared my whole life for this moment. Successes, failures, self-care, and eventually … Discovering what’s important … now. Learning to let go of what no longer Is. And the steps to take to cultivate Happiness, Joy, Meaning, Intimacy and Fulfillment in mid-to-late-life.” This is the groundbreaking message ofh is upcoming book “The Art of Conscious Aging that makes it the Operating Manual for the Third Act.”
Wayne’s unique view of the world first showed up in his paintings, then as a filmmaker, writer, producer of large-scale event experiences, and sculptor. It became clear that the thread was “immersive, transformative, and spiritually uplifting experiences.” But now he is in a different space. Around age 60, he started to let the person he was go, which was hard, and then became the person he is today.
This is the time when all the pieces come together: the hero(ine) overcomes their own and others’ obstacles, marshals their skills and talents, rises to the occasion, and, in the words of Abraham Maslow, self-actualizes. Age and the passage of time can be viewed as a great assembling of all our seemingly splinter skills and experiences. This is a time when we can become the person we were meant to be.
While he continues to teach yoga and meditation, he is also begun to Coach others to successfully Launch into their Third Act.

In 2009, BRIAN HOLLEY was diagnosed with kidney cancer, and his left kidney was removed. There are now tumours in his pancreas, and one was recently found in his humerus and removed. Throughout this period, he has maintained symptom-free health largely through exercise, meditative practices and diet. This is the story of one man who continues to live a happy and active lifestyle while living with cancer and a book to give comfort and advice to others.
Brian is an engaging speaker living in the U.K and the author of .”What My Doctors Didn't Tell Me About Cancer: What You Can Do to Support and Enhance Your Cancer Treatment”
We talk about how he first discovered he had cancer, how his doctor’s approached treatment and how he became an advocate for himself in treating cancer with nutrition, supplements and meditation. Brian writes, “I've been living with kidney cancer since 2009. After a third operation in 2015, my cancer became metastatic, and 'visitors' took up residence in my lungs. I turned down chemotherapy and am very fortunate to be going strong nearly ten years later. Another 'visitor' was evicted from my left humerus, and I now have 'unpaying guests' lodging in six locations in my body. However, I'm able to lead an active and fulfilling life. (At 84, I sing and play guitar in a band, undertake some gardening, serve on two committees and take several walks of two or three miles each week.) “Cancer is sneaky. We can live with it for months, even years, without knowing it’s there. That’s perhaps because cancer is not something we catch but something that happens to our own cells when their DNA is corrupted.” And that is usually because of our lifestyle. “ . . . the first response to a problem should not be rejection but acceptance; acceptance of it and all its apparent implications. Yes, that sounds strange, but half the pain we suffer is in withstanding the idea that we should have to suffer at all.” In early 2022, my wife, Elizabeth, suggested I keep a cancer diary, which by 2023 had turned into a book. As I researched for the book, I was amazed at what I didn't know about cancer, having lived with it for so long. I'd spent time volunteering for Macmillan and attending support groups) and discovered that was true for most of us. I was shocked to find that my doctors didn't know some important things about cancer, too – how dangerous sugar could be, for instance. In 2023, with a broken humerus and prosthetic shoulder to deal with, the diary had grown into a book. I have continued my cancer diary, though, and will bequeath it to Cancer Research UK. Central to my book is my MEDS regimen: Mind, Exercise, Diet and Support. I take my 'MEDS' every day. My doctors are very dedicated and exceptionally hard-working. They all know a fantastic amount, but they can't know everything. There are many things we can do to support our immune systems and the treatment our doctors provide.
We need to be self-advocates: to ask pertinent questions about the whys and wherefores of our treatment – and impertinent ones too if necessary. I refused chemotherapy again in 2022. It seems that I'm growing older faster than my tumours, which are growing big. I'm not at all afraid of dying, and I hope to die with cancer rather than of it. These last 15 years have been the richest time of my life.

Driven by technological advancements and a growing emphasis on sexual wellness, the sextech market has exploded on a global scale in recent years. The wearables category has arguably seen the most interesting and compelling growth with products that do things like help alleviate pain during penetration, others use AI to map changes in the pelvic floor, and innovations like FirmTech’s award-winning Tech Ring—the first smart intimacy wearable of its kind—enhances pleasure while improving cardiac health.
Dr. Justin’s expertise extends far beyond the FirmTech brand. With a background in emergency medicine, he is all too aware of cardiac health and is driven by an understanding of how sexual and heart health are linked.

CRAIG GOLDBERG is what many would say the world really needs right now: a Relaxation Expert!
Craig is also a Certified Vibro-Acoustic Therapy Practitioner on a quest to help humanity achieve a deeper sense of inner calmness through the use of sound and vibration technology. He operates with roots in science and technology, and his work is backed by 40+ years of research showing the many benefits of this type of therapy. He is constantly exploring new ways to use Vibro-Acoustic to help people reduce stress and anxiety, heal, and transform their lives for the better.
His journey began 10 years ago when his wife got sick and Modern medicine did not have answers, so he did what any one of us would do: He began searching. His journey has taken him down many roads in search of one thing: How to live a healthy life. Craig and his wife found diet and nutrition to be the gateway to better health.
This love for healthy food led to a deep dive, into what he calls his three main environments:
-
What we put in our mouth
-
What we put on our skin
-
What we allow in the air around us
Mastering these external environments led him to focusing inward. Craig, like so many others, was familiar with the benefits of meditation, but struggled to get into a meditative state. He made it something of a mission to hack the process to make it more accessible for those who struggled to get there.
This led to the power of sound and vibration as a healing tool after experiencing profound effects for himself on a revolutionary Vibro-Acoustic bed called “The Sound Lounge.” Craig instantly knew this was the mindfulness and healing hack he’d been searching for and it sparked yet another deep dive into the human body and how it all works.
In November 2016, he partnered with Dominic Carnevale, and inHarmony Interactive was born. Today, Craig is an advocate of the power of sound and vibration to heal and create positive changes in the lives of others.Craig and Dom continue to innovate their industry. inHarmony recently announced their Patent on the inHarmony Meditation Cushion, solidifying their position in the “Tech-Assisted Meditation” movement.
Sound and vibration reset the nervous system and send signals to every muscle in the body to relax. Shifting from stressed and anxious to calm-and-relaxed is something we all need.

BRENT MICHAEL PHILLIPS was a web and video game developing pioneer at the dawn of the commercial internet era. An MIT graduate, he left his PhD studies at the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science to cash in on the infinite possibilities that the worldwide web offered. Success came fast!
But 20 years later, he is now an internationally acclaimed spiritual teacher and healer. He achieved this after suffering a catastrophic physical and emotional collapse resulting from working 100+ hour weeks. Traditional medicine and most non-traditional treatments didn’t heal him. What turned the tables was discovering the power of unlocking the disruptive programming in his subconscious.
Being the scientist that he is, Brent committed himself to studying, understanding and exploring the connection between human behavior, spirit and science. What he learned and discovered about theta brain waves–enabled him to access extraordinary supernatural powers of healing, intuitive abilities, knowledge beyond learning, spiritual connection, oneness and more.
And the science explains why this worked so astonishingly well! He now uses his engineering knowledge to present a faster path to healing and higher consciousness than attainable through other methods.,
Brent’s mission is simple: to share the world’s most powerful consciousness technology to help people everywhere to improve their lives and end suffering.

Valerie owns a continuing education business that reviews current research and best practices for behavior analysis programs. Dr. Evans has aspired to feel better about her body since becoming a teen and has experience with just about every diet program. Two years ago, Valerie turned to diet apps to feel like herself again following surgery. However, instead of reconnecting with her body she felt more disconnected than ever—completely consumed with the diet app numbers game.
Valerie said “No Weigh” to the counting, tracking, budgeting, and overall life-consuming task of restriction diets! Dr. Evans responded by creating her own app, a diet program alternative called No Weigh. No Weigh shows users how to leverage behavior analysis devices to make simple adjustments to the contexts of their daily lives to maintain motivation and lose weight mindfully and naturally.

- Renowned nephrologist DR. PAUL KIMMEL takes us on an eye-opening journey through the history of kidney disease, dialysis, and transplantation. Drawing on both his extensive research and decades of experience in the field, he explains the development of treatments, technologies, and medical practices that have advanced the care of patients with kidney disease. He illuminates the impact of medical advances on the lives of those suffering from this debilitating disease and offers a clear understanding of the challenges that remain.
The kidney is an extraordinary organ – in many ways the regulator, the metronome, the keeper of the human body’s delicate equilibrium. On a given day, minute by minute, it purifies the body of toxins it encounters from diet, climate, activity, and injury. It allows us to be and to move in the world. And yet most of us know so very little about these extraordinary vessels nestled in our bodies – and indeed millions of us only really learn about them when they stop working. Nearly a million Americans every year have end stage kidney disease, about 37 million have some form of chronic kidney disease. And it is an incredibly common universe of challenge and ailment that, until relatively recently, would simply kill those afflicted with it.
In his new book, “The Body’s Keepers: A Social History Of Kidney Failure And Its Treatments,” Dr. Kimmel also reveals the inequities and injustices at the heart of America's healthcare system. Filled with case studies, personal histories, and first-hand accounts, the book reveals the shocking truth about the exploitation of vulnerable populations in the pursuit of profit. Kimmel examines how disparities in access to care have led to life-threatening consequences for many Americans. He also looks at the ways in which the medical industry has profited from the suffering of others, and how the path to health equity is still far from being realized. With unflinching honesty and a passionate commitment to social justice, his book is an essential read for anyone looking to understand the complexities of modern healthcare.

The new film, shot in 24 countries, explores the phenomenon of the global birthrate decline through the lens of multiple societies worldwide to better understand why this is happening in the first place and how it will drastically affect the social and economic structures in the future.
“What we’re seeing is our societies are not preparing us for what lies ahead,” Shaw states.“We’re heading towards a future with too few taxpayers and too many retirees to support, communities that will decay with too few people left to live there, escalating taxes and intense challenges to maintain levels of pensions, healthcare, and welfare.”

CHRIS MILES, The Anti-Financial Adxisor, talks about why mainstream financial advice is largely flawed and how to create a passive income stream to financial freedom. We discuss beliefs about money and creating a mindset of abundance and personal fulfilllment.
Many of us have been told from an early age that financial success is like a piggy bank - you simply save more and spend less. After years of working as a traditional financial advisor and stock coach, Chris came to the realization that this myth, along with many others, was holding people back from quickly and safely becoming financially prosperous and free.
As the wheels of our modern world turn on digital media and technology, it is easier, andmore vital than ever, to create passive income streams and alternate investing strategies that work for you - even when you are out saving lives. Chris practices what he preaches and has used his own knowledge twice to become financially independent. He even managed to capitalize on over $1 Million in debt after the last recession without filing for bankruptcy.

STEPHEN CHONG had a profound Spiritual Awakening Experience in 2019 after he fell five metres off a ladder and fractured his neck. Stephen says, "This life experience is what I know and understand to be a ‘Pivot or Turning Point’ … where I had to choose what happens after. It was about three months into the rehabilitation when things became a little clearer."
Stepen's. new book, The Afterlife; A Journey To: Now You Know What Will Happen, delves into his Near-Death Experience (NDE) talking about what Heaven was like, how he came to understand the rules of Heaven, and the incredible guides, events and scenarios which take place there. He also offers the following about "purgatory",,, "Upon death, we passage through a tunnel of light and the silver cord (which connects the eternal soul to the physical body) is severed, and unlike an NDE, we are unable to return. Entry into these ‘Mists’ or ‘Purgatory’ confirms our life’s journey through the law of ‘What you sow, so shall you reap’. It is a confrontation with the self. What you have done (or not done) and what you have ‘caused to effect’ in your fellow man. It is a ‘Life Review’ where every moment of life is flashed before you and you see what you have done to and for people. In this place, ‘The emperor wears no clothes’. Your status, position, title, etc. are null and void. It is what you have done to others that holds the key … we are all one in spirit … ‘Whatyou have done to another, you do to yourself’."

Phil’s eventual combination of a carnivore diet with EMF and artificial light avoidance, cold thermogenesis and a range of other health enhancing practices reversed the “incurable” diseases that he suffered from. His book “Arthritis, The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me” gained a foreword by Dr. Jack Kruse and has become an Amazon Kindle bestseller and is now available in print. Phil talks from personal experience about contemporary lifestyle and diet choices, disconnects from our ancestral heritage, emotional balancing and the simple but often misunderstood nature of spiritual awakening.

As an exercise therapist teaching classes for psychiatric offenders,VONY EICHEL met Henry, an arsonist and psychopath. The catalyst to Vony’s enlightenment. This is the powerful true story that is her new book "A Reason to Carry On." Vony is an incredibly engaging author with unique life-changing experiences and a message of hope for us all.
Alone in a room with a paedophile, a rapist, robbers, arsonists, burglars and
assorted violent criminals, I couldn’t see or feel evil. Instead, I saw ignorant,
love-deprived victims: simple men of simple needs unable to help
themselves or allow others to help them. Most had given up: hope had long
been forgotten.
Many people struggle with daily life, asking themselves, what’s the point of
it all? How can they find meaning and joy in what they do? Religion,
Spirituality and Mysticism all need to be explored to arrive at the answer.

LANEY ROSENAWEIG is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over three decades in the mental health field. In addition to her private practice, Laney trains licensed mental health professionals in the use of "ART", ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY. Laney has taken her training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitizaation Reprogramming) to a place where recovery is not only much faster (often as little as a one hour seession), but the patient does. not have to relive the trauma, nor the therapist hear about it. She describes the work as targeting the area of the brain which talk therapy is unable to access, and the patient is able to replace negative images with positive ones. While the memory of the trauma is not erased, its impact is mitigated. Laney says,“The most difficult aspect of discussing ART is the fact that it sounds too good to be true.”
We discuss her training, how she discovered and devleposed her technique, how she trains other practioners and offers many examples of successful patient treatment. To learn more, watch her TEDx Talk or find a practioner near you, please visit her website :

For the last 70 years, fertility rates have decreased by 50% worldwide, yet few of us have been thinking about the social and economic impact that communities will need to prepare for. The new film, shot in 24 countries, explores the phenomenon of the global birthrate decline through the lens of multiple societies worldwide to better understand why this is happening in the first place and how it will drastically affect the social and economic structures in the future.
“What we’re seeing is our societies are not preparing us for what lies ahead,” Shaw states.“We’re heading towards a future with too few taxpayers and too many retirees to support, communities that will decay with too few people left to live there, escalating taxes and intense challenges to maintain levels of pensions, healthcare, and welfare.”
