When Ray Catania, world-renowned metaphysical teacher, author, and master-certified life coach, sits down with us, the atmosphere crackles with all the potentials for enlightenment. Through a troubled childhood Ray's early experiences unknowingly tuned him into the energies of the universe. His near-death experience (NDE) only furthered his connection to the unseen, shaping his life's work and his approach to spirituality. Join us as Ray unfolds the tale of his transformative journey, sharing
how personal trauma can lead to self-discovery and ultimately, to guiding others on their spiritual paths.
The conversation takes a turn towards the mystical as Ray delves into his encounters with spirit guides and his reluctant acceptance of psychic abilities. Skeptical at first, he recounts how a chance meeting with a prominent medium confirmed his gifts and offered mentorship; changing his life forever. Ray's story isn't just about his own
awakening; it's about the courage to embrace one's true self amidst the skepticism of the outside world. His narrative is a powerful reminder that the path to self-realization is as unique as the individual walking it.
Through Ray's eyes, we examine the contrast between the simplicity of spirituality found in nature and the complexities often introduced by organized religion. He brings humor, humanity and lots of science, to the forefront of our spiritual practices, suggesting that being true to oneself can sometimes conflict with traditional solemnity. Ray's current mission is to awaken others to their limitless potential; a purpose pursued with dedication and passion. Embark on this enriching discussion with us, and you might just find that limitless spark of enlightenment within yourself.

May marks a special time for mental health awareness, and we're here to celebrate it with real talk that's both enlightening and unexpectedly amusing. Sheri Ryland, LCSW, is our returning guest, and co-host of the popular podcast, Let’s Be Real. Our engaging conversation peels back the layers of mental health versus mental illness, and daily laughter emerges as a hero in our chat, defying the shadows of tough topics and offering a lifeline when we need it most. We share tales and some tactics in therapy, all while embodying the idea that a simple change in perspective, sprinkled with a dose of humor, can foster a profound transformation in our approach to life's hardships.
As laughter fades, we turn to the somber realities of our mental health system, taking a critical look at its recent setbacks. Sheri and I tackle the tough topic of the closure of a key psychiatric facility and the void it has left in our community. Our dialogue also digs into the critical connection between mind and body health, with anecdotes from
Sheri's practice underscoring the urgent call for a more empathetic and integrative mental health care system.
Wrapping up, we cast a light on the myriad paths toward healing, discussing trauma therapy's ins and outs, the significance of addressing even the 'little traumas,' and the need for creating safe therapeutic spaces. The episode doesn't shy away from exploring alternative treatments and the restorative embrace of nature. We cap off with a reminder of the undeniable power of human connection and the importance of finding the right therapist. Listen along, share your thoughts, and join us on this journey of community, compassion, and the shared laughter that binds us.
Always remember to find the path that is best for You.
Sheri’s first episode with us, on Lasting Conversations, is #26 Positive
Changes.

We're honored to have Full Spectrum Birthing Doula, Brooke Sternberg, back on the show sharing her profound wisdom in a two-part conversation. In this episode, we explore the synchronicity between new life and seasons of renewal like Easter and Passover, drawing parallels between these festive times and the miracles witnessed in birthing suites. Brooke's timely return allows us to delve into the resurgence of doula practices and their vital role in supporting families from conception through the postpartum period.
As we delve into childbirth education, we witness a shift from clinical to instinctual approaches, from fear to empowerment. In our discussion, Brooke and I confront historical and societal constructs shaping women's roles in childbirth, the delicate balance between natural instincts and medical interventions, and the importance of informed mental preparation for this transformative event. We explore generational family dynamics, the possible impact of over-medicalization on the mother-child bond, and share stories highlighting the unpredictable yet sacred nature of birth.
Within the birthing space, a doula's support serves as a vital anchor for expectant mothers. Brooke sheds light on effective doula advocacy within hospital settings, ensuring a mother's voice is heard while preserving her experience. We share anecdotes illustrating how doulas uphold the sanctity of birth and navigate complex childbirth team dynamics. This episode marks the beginning of a two-part conversation, promising further enlightening discussions on the doula's role in childbirth.

Have you ever envisioned the symphony of colors that a melody might paint? EMMY award winning, internationally renowned artist, Karen Mosbacher, shares her world of chromesthesia. Music and hues intertwine, offering us a glimpse into how this phenomenon deeply influences her artwork. From her home in Colorado, Karen illustrates her process of translating the rhythms of a string quartet or the soulful tones of jazz into vibrant visual expressions on canvas. Her stories of collaborative projects, like painting to spoken poetry, reveal an intimate energy exchange that defines her growth as an artist and the captivating evolution of her body of work.
Art holds a mirror to our collective soul, and Karen's "Collateral Beauty; No More Silence" series is no exception; serving as a compelling narrative that resonates profoundly with its audience. "Before It Was Me" reveals where the depth of art's power truly unfolds—a personal reflection on intimate terrorism that transforms trauma into a shared space of healing through interactive installations. Our discussion traverses the landscape of emotion, from the cathartic release found in her work to the shared experiences of visitors who connect deeply with the stories her art tells.
Completing our journey through Karen's artistic world, we reflect upon the liberating embrace of art therapy and self-discovery. Karen eloquently articulates how creation offers a steadfast act of perseverance. She guides us through the importance of dismantling the negative narratives we carry, all the while hinting at exciting future
ventures and the unveiling of her latest visual language. For those seeking inspiration or understanding the profound impact of visual arts on personal transformation, Karen's insights serve as an open invitation to view life through a prismatic lens of self-expression and healing.

"We get to the HEART of everything!
Prepare to be inspired as the remarkable Dr. Temple Grandin takes us on a journey into the heart of neurodiversity and its potential to transform early education. Through her exceptional lens, we uncover the history of autism diagnosis and the correlation between celebrated geniuses and today's autistic individuals. Dr. Grandin passionately advocates for structured social interaction and early intervention, walking us through the nuances of nurturing without forcing conformity. Her insights remind us that the social skills honed in the simplicity of past generations — think family dinners and outdoor play — are invaluable for children across the spectrum.
Dr. Temple Grandin doesn't just shine a light on the rich tapestry of the neurodiverse mind; she reveals how to kindle the sparks of potential into flames of achievement. The conversation shifts to the celebration of hands-on learning and the critical role it plays in developing a child's innate abilities. Dr. Grandin illustrates the power of visual thinking and its profound impact on industries, urging a revival of vocational education to harness the specialized skills of those on the autism spectrum. She shares real-world examples, including her trailblazing work, to showcase how diverse thinking leads to unparalleled innovation and problem-solving.

Have you ever heard a powerful story that feels like a lightning bolt to
your heart? That's what awaits you with Shā Sparks, our vibrant guest,
whose transformation from a hairstylist in an abusive relationship to an
acclaimed motivational coach, and author, is nothing short of electric.
Join us as we traverse the landscape of personal change, the boldness of
finding one's voice, and the magic that unfolds when we dare to live
without fear. Shā, the Chief Excitement Officer of Sparks of Fire
International, is not just a beacon of light; she's a fire starter,
igniting hope and courage in everyone she touches.
Communication is an art, and for many of us, sarcasm is the first
language we learn to shield our vulnerabilities. But what happens when
we strip away the irony and veiled jabs, and speak from the heart? In
our heart-to-heart with Shā, we uncover the roots of sarcasm, and the
power of authenticity. Our conversation is a tapestry woven with stories
of growth, the beauty of beginning anew, and the pivotal questions that
guide us on our journeys. It's about the strength it takes to ask for
help, the exploration of curiosity, and the transformative practice of
journaling, that can silence the harshest of critics – the ones within
ourselves.
Shā’s journey of self-discovery didn't just change her life; it sparked
a movement. The Fire Starters Book Project, and the unmistakable "Don't
Be a D.I.C.K.” podcast segment are just glimpses into how she's
championing positivity and rekindling kindness. But the warmth doesn't
end there. Shā extends a heartfelt invitation to connect through her
various platforms, reminding us that pursuing happiness is a collective
journey. As your host, I wrap up with an encouragement to share your
voice with us – because every story, including yours, is a vital piece
in the Lasting Conversations mosaic.

"We get to the HEART of everything!”
Ever had one of those days where things don't quite go as expected?
Heather Lockett, found herself in just such a moment when an envisioned
tranquil day by the sea was met with gusting winds and unexpected
company. This episode of Last in Conversations is all about throwing
caution (and our carefully laid plans) to the wind, and embracing life's
curveballs with a sense of adventure. We'll share laughter, perhaps a
few sighs of exasperation, and most importantly, we'll uncover the
beauty of resilience and the art of finding joy in the mayhem that life
sometimes presents us with.
During this heartwarming vignette, Heather recounts a recent adventure
at a podcasting & multimedia convention where the spirit of camaraderie
instead of competition, was the way of conducting business. We learn
about the concept of "starting ugly," a mantra that urges us to leap
into action, setting aside perfection for the sake of progress. Our
story continues as a celebration of human connection, underscored by the
power of simply holding hands—with our neighbors or with friends across
the globe. So, grab your headphones, and let's band together, sharing in
the collective strength and joy that helps us rise above and steer our
way through the tides of our ever-changing world.

"We get to the HEART of everything!”
Have you ever found yourself at the intersection of vulnerability and
strength? Male, female, all peoples; join us, as we welcome the
extraordinary Ben Curtis! Ben is the original 'Dell dude' and now
premier guide and performance coach, visionary leader of Dude School,
and podcast host of Dude, You're Getting Well, and well known actor and
musician. Ben shares his transformative journey through fame, personal
struggle, and the pursuit of wellness, with humor, humility and gentle
wisdom. Our conversation delves into the heart of redefined
masculinity, where the divine masculine emerges as a force for reshaping
the traditional constructs of manhood. Ben's own narrative becomes a
guiding light for those wrestling with societal pressures and seeking
personal healing, reminding us all of the power found in resilience and
mindfulness.
Amidst the tenderness of shared experiences, we uncover the evolution of
'dude' from a simple word to a beacon of inclusive empowerment. We
traverse the often-unspoken male grief, such as that experienced in the
shadows of miscarriage, and other disruptive occurrences, and celebrate
the strength found in emotional expression and the support of the
community. Our exchange becomes more than a chat; it's a collective call
to action to craft safe spaces where the metamorphosis of masculinity
can flourish, and where our individual stories create a rich tapestry of
collective understanding.
Wrapping up this inspirational journey, we pivot to the art of living
authentically across the myriad roles life throws our way. Ben Curtis
offers a personal look at how he juggles being a musician, CEO, and
family man, all while championing self-care and setting boundaries to
maintain balance and authenticity. This episode is an open invitation to
a more conscious, connected existence - where gratitude,
self-reflection, and heartfelt communication are not only aspirational
ideals but a lived reality. Listen in and be part of this joyous
celebration of embracing our entire selves!

We invite you on a transformative exploration of loss, self-discovery,
and the tenacity of the human spirit. Our guest, accomplished author,
public speaker, and hope facilitator, Cathleen Elle opens up about the
harrowing journey following her son's passing; guiding us through the
nuanced terrain of grief. Her story, which inspired her moving book
"Shattered Together," weaves together the threads of emotional healing,
to the grand gifts and new found joy on the other side. It is a raw
testament to the resilience found within life’s devastation, and a
beacon for those who are navigating the aftermath of unthinkable
tragedy.
The paths we tread are often shadowed by the footprints of our
ancestors, and it's within these imprints that our own healing begins.
In our candid, heart-to-heart exchange, we address the shift from being
a fixer in life to becoming a facilitator of healing, constructing
spaces where souls can mend and flourish.
In the winding roads of self-discovery and reinvention, Cathleen and I
share experiences that reflect the courage it takes to listen to life's
signs, redefine home, and the beauty of serendipitous encounters that
remind us we're part of a larger, interconnected tapestry. It's a
celebration of instinct, the unexpected, and the universal truths that
offer solace. Even in our deepest solitude, we are never truly alone,
and everything can bring joy to our lives. Join us on
this beautiful guided adventure of the spirit.

Embracing the Village of Support
As we navigate the demands of family life, sometimes what we need most
is a guiding hand. That's precisely what Gayle Walker, founder and CEO
of Life Doula, Inc., has become for so many families. On our latest
podcast, Gayle recounts her remarkable journey from nurse and Naval
Officer, to a beacon of support for new parents. She paints a vivid
picture of her first foray into postpartum care while in Spain, and how
that experience planted the seeds for a business that extends a
much-needed lifeline to families during one of their most transformative
stages.
Community is the tapestry of our lives, and this episode weaves through
the importance of embracing it fully. Our guest delves into the strength
that springs from vulnerability, and how welcoming help—be it from a
neighbor, a housekeeper or a compassionate ear—can make a world of
difference. We reflect on the loneliness that often shadows major life
events, and why leaning into the support of our personal villages can be
our greatest source of power. Join us as we unpack the beauty of
interconnectedness and the shared experiences that reinforce our
collective resilience.
We share insights on the profound impact of integrating children into
household routines, instilling a sense of belonging and teamwork from
the earliest years. We also envision a world where parents can catch
their breath, thanks to innovative ideas that offer a moment of respite
amidst the beautiful chaos of parenting. Listen for actionable
strategies that can help bring calm, organization, and even a bit of
sanity to the bustling life of a family.

Have you ever met someone whose life story is so compelling that it
makes you reevaluate your own path? That's exactly what happened when we
invited Olivia Akin, the wise-beyond-her-years career whisperer, onto
our podcast. With a journey that has seen her transition from a junior
Olympian swimmer to a beacon of career development, Olivia doesn't just
redefine success — she helps you live it. Her soul-stirring narrative of
overcoming an epilepsy diagnosis and pivoting from potential Olympic
glory to excelling in various professional realms, exemplifies the
resilience we all strive for.
In an era where the career ladder seems more like a jungle gym, Olivia's
insights are pure gold. Her multifaceted approach to mentorship,
consulting, and embracing change is a testament to the power of
adaptability. As she opens up about guiding a diverse array of clients —
from budding professionals to seasoned business owners — it's clear that
her strategies for growth and embracing one's own "superpowers" are not
just theories, but tried-and-tested truths. Her story is proof that with
the right mindset, each challenge can indeed be a stepping stone to the
next achievement.
But what about those moments when you're caught in the tornado of life's
choices, both personal and professional? Olivia's take on finding
passion and making decisions without regret is refreshing and real. As
she prepares for an adventurous move to Alaska, she reminds us all that
aligning with our joy is paramount, and the paths we choose — no matter
how daunting they may seem — are part of our unique success stories.
Tune in to our conversation with Olivia Akin and discover how to
navigate your career path with confidence and clarity, all while
staying true to what sets your heart alight.

Pedaling for a Purpose
Every journey begins with a single step. Uli Schackmann's voyage is in
bike pedal strokes that spans an incredible 6 months and 6,000 miles
with her service dog, Jackson, and a flag that waves for the ongoing
fight and needed research for HIV/AIDS. Our latest episode welcomes Uli
to recount the heartwarming tale of resilience captured in her book,
”Uli's Journey: Angels Along the Way," where she reveals the many
helpers met on both the road and in the fight for AIDS awareness. We
reminisce about the inception of this journey and how impromptu
connections can spearhead movements, break down barriers, and empower
communities.
When the open road calls, some answer with trepidation, while others,
like Uli, embrace the wild unknown with trust and a heart open to the
lessons it imparts. The second chapter of our conversation steers
through the emotional terrain of navigating life's uncertainties—much
like Uli's cross-country trek with Jackson. From close brushes with
nature's unpredictability (aka grizzlies, cougars and rattlesnakes!) to
the reliance on the kindness of strangers for guidance and shelter,
Uli's story captivates with its raw honesty and the parallels drawn
between her journey and the lived experiences of those with terminal
illnesses. Her poignant reflections on the AIDS memorial flag serve as a
reminder of the personal stories and struggles woven into the fabric of
our shared history.
As we wrap up our discussion, we reflect on Uli's return to life's less
dramatic lanes, her thirst for purpose, and the role discomfort plays in
personal growth. Our guest's transformative adventure illustrates the
profound impact of pursuing a vision, of dedicating one's efforts to a
cause larger than oneself. Uli's parting gift of the AIDS memorial flag
to the World AIDS Museum symbolizes not just the end of a chapter, but
the ripples of change that continue long after the wheels stop turning.
Join us for a story not just about miles pedaled, but about the roads we
travel to pursue freedom, growth, and the enduring call to
action for a cause that touches us all.

The Transformative Power of Love, Presence, and Peace
A conversation with Becky Grabski is like stepping into a haven of calm
amidst the chaos of life. As a psychic counselor, she carries an inner
light that guides those grappling with PTSD, trauma, and complex life
transitions toward a healing path of self-discovery. Becky's emphasis,
you ask? Love. But not the mushy, codependent kind. The kind that stems
from a genuine desire to help her clients unmask their true selves and
emerge victorious through the darkest times.
Have you ever wondered how your true self could shape the future of
humanity? Within our dialogue, we explore that very thought. We address
the fears that cloud our visions of the future and discuss embracing our
true selves as the blueprint for a brighter tomorrow. You'll soon
realize that your mind isn't the full picture of who you are. There's a
deeper, inner self waiting to be discovered—a journey that requires
stepping out of fear's shadow and embracing authenticity. We also touch
upon familial dynamics, especially during the holiday season, and
provide practical advice on infusing gatherings with positive energy and
laughter.
Just when you think things can't get more interesting, Becky introduces
her own podcast launching in 2024: Going Deep with Becky; Conversations
about what makes life worth living. We also delve into the story behind
an enchanting screen in her living room, decked with elephants and palm
trees. It's not just about home decor but about the energy shift such
items can bring into our lives. As we wrap up our enlightening
discussion, we reflect on the importance of self-discovery. Remember,
every challenge can pave the way for personal growth. So, join us, won't
you? Embark on this insightful journey that underscores the value of
authenticity, love, and self-awareness in creating a life of purpose and
peace.

Wondering what lies at the intersection of your gut health, diet, and overall wellbeing? Join us as we decode this with Reneè Barash, the Tummy Whisperer, a certified digestive health coach who has made it her mission to help people understand the myriad connections between gut health and facets of our life including sleep patterns, skin conditions, and hormonal balance. We delve into the possible role a Western diet and genetically modified foods play on our bodies and underline the significance of a clean lifestyle for a healthier gut. Whatever that means for you.
Next, we tackle an age-old question: what is the relationship between our mind and our digestive health? The answer might surprise you! We discuss the importance of a balanced diet, but also highlight how our minds and even our emotions can influence gut health. In a fascinating twist, we also explore the role of sound and energy in healing and relaxation; with a few simple tips. Reneé takes a very personalized approach to discover the right path each person needs to optimize their body systems. She encourages the opportunity to look beyond traditional medical tests and consider other factors like stress and diet, in the quest for achieving a balanced state.
Lastly, we take a deep dive into the more intricate aspects of health. We discuss how our bodies hold onto trauma and negative emotions, and how that impacts our physical health. We also confront the challenge of navigating through the overwhelming amount of dietary information and debunking a few myths that are doing the rounds. Reneé emphasizes the power of intuition in health and the need to experiment with different foods to discover what works best for us. This is an enlightening discussion, that is quite literally, food for thought!

Our chat traces her dynamic journey, from painting historic buildings in West Palm Beach to spearheading tree preservation campaigns. Her tale takes an endearing turn when she crosses paths with Lee Butler, a vanguard in environmental architecture. This serendipitous union fuels a shared passion for a greener world and forms the heart of our discourse.
The conversation takes an innovative twist as we explore Lee's groundbreaking work. His invention, the gravity geothermal envelope, presents an exciting potential for self-sustainable buildings. Despite policy hurdles, this technology promises to revolutionize living spaces, even in harsh environments. Drawing insights from Lee's book, Ekosea Homes, we delve into the unique concept of natural energy-conserving design. As we traverse from floating buildings to sustainable living, we imagine a world where these ecological solutions are globally embraced. Strap in, because this is one enlightening journey you won't want to miss!

Ever grappled with the complexities of dyslexia or know someone who has? Join us in a riveting conversation with dedicated educator Tamika Taylor, who has turned her own experiences with dyslexia into a tool to empower children facing similar learning challenges. As a mother to four boys and a vocal advocate for children with dyslexia, Tamika shares her unique perspective on the education system, hinting at the gaps that need urgent attention and strategies that can benefit all learners.
Tamika's narrative shines a spotlight on the importance of understanding the individual needs of each student. In her work with the Palm Beach County School District, she emphasizes the necessity for teachers and administrators to collaborate and adapt to serve those needs. This episode delves into the criticality of mastering foundational skills and highlights how changes in curriculum, textbooks, and teaching methods can influence a student's learning journey. We also examine the signs that parents can look out for, from comprehension difficulties to behavioral changes, as indicators of learning disadvantages.
In addition to discussing these critical issues, Tamika also shares her innovative solutions. Through the Impact Achievement Learning Center, she provides invaluable resources for children with learning challenges. The conversation also turns towards the importance of creating safe and open spaces for children, an area where Tamika passionately invests her efforts. Listen in to learn how you can support these initiatives and contribute towards making quality education accessible for all children. Tune in today, because this isn't just an episode, it's a call to action.

Navigating the raw, tumultuous path of grief is a daunting endeavor for
anyone. Yet, when a child loses a parent, a sibling, or even friend, the
complexity magnifies. The question we pose today is, how can we help
children cope with such profound loss? Our guest, Valerie Staggs,
returns, this time in a candid conversation about love, loss, and
healing, as we unearth answers to this essential question.
Grief, often perceived as an adult emotion, engulfs children too, a
sobering reality that our society frequently overlooks. Valerie was a
widow at 42 with a 7 year old son, who treaded through the delicate task
of guiding her boy through the loss of his dad, and reveals how her
personal journey sowed the seeds for her book, This Side of Heaven. We
also survey the common practices of shielding children from sorrow, plus
the evolving role of schools and communities, in showing compassion to
grieving children.
In the second part of our conversation, we delve into Valerie's
brainchild, Pandora's Kids, a nonprofit organization born out of her own
experiences with her son, and the lack of broader resources for
children. Pandora’s Kids is a fun way to socialize, come together with
other kids in a shared circumstance, and have an outlet not to feel
alone or ostracized. The camaraderie of these children, and their
ability to just Be together, is incredibly beneficial. What does it
take to reach out to grieving families, and how do organizations like
Pandora's Kids provide comfort and a semblance of normalcy? Could this
unique model be replicated on a global scale? We tackle these questions
and much more. We wrap up our critical discussion by exploring ways to
help children navigate their grief and loss, from fostering open,
meaningful conversations to creating ceremonies to honor their loved
ones. Listen in as we explore the journey of grief, as a path, though
difficult, can offer joy, laughter, hope, and love.

Ever wonder why there seems to be a shortage of skilled tradespeople in
the workforce? Dive into a candid conversation with Valerie Staggs,
founder of Take On Trades, as we explore the reasons behind this
challenging phenomenon. From budget cuts in vocational programs to
increased demand for infrastructure projects, we discuss the myriad of
reasons contributing to this crisis. Valerie sheds light on the impact
of this shortage on businesses and emphasizes the necessity of a skilled
workforce. These days, there is a fresh way of communicating with
the next generation, so Valerie is keen on bridging conventional
companies with the new world of today’s workers.
We also challenge the common belief that success only comes with a
college degree. There is an importance of young people knowing it’s okay
to explore other avenues if college is not their path, and how this can
open the door towards fulfilling careers. Valerie shares how companies
offer apprenticeships, training, and certifications, allowing
individuals to work immediately after high school, debt-free. Listen in
as we uncover the benefits of non-traditional career paths and discuss
how Take On Trades is creating a stronger connection between the trade
industry, employers, and workers.
