In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I had the opportunity to sit down with a friend of mine named Barrett Johnson to talk about his life shattering experience with debilitating chronic illness and his journey back to life and living. His story will be eye opening to you and his path into healing will surprise you. I feel strongly that his story needs to be heard by you to prepare you for the months and years ahead. In this episode, Barrett shared lots of great information and resources for you. Here are the resources that he describes in this episode: Buy Organic to avoid as many herbicides/pesticides as possible! Avoid using any roundup/pesticides in your yard. Glyphosate has been banned in many countries (Europe, Mexico, etc) but not the U.S.
From the CDC: Atrazine, one of the most widely used herbicides in the United States, is intentionally applied to crops, especially corn, sugarcane, pineapples, and sorghum.
Study on Atrizine:

In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, Dr. Gladys McGarey (103 year old holistic physician), shares her secret to vibrancy & health.
Dr. McGarey is a holistic physician and medical activist. Over her career, McGarey has promoted better childbirth practices, holistic medicine, and acupuncture through her medical practice, speeches, and books. She co-founded the American Holistic Medical Association in 1978 and served as its president. She also co-founded the Academy of Parapsychology and Medicine, and she served as president of the Arizona Board of Homeopathic Medical Examiners. I wanted to bring her beautiful perspective about life and health to you today.
Also in this episode, I share some important news about the future of this podcast. You'll want to make sure you tune in.
Did you know that in the early 1960s, only 6% of Americans suffered from chronic disease? In 2006, 54% of Americans were suffering from chronic disease. It’s even worse today. The good news is this… in this election year, there is one presidential candidate that is bringing much needed attention to this crisis. I invite you to give this perspective consideration.
Did you know that in the last few years, cancer rates have increased 79% in people aged fifty and younger?
No, this is not a misprint. This is unprecedented, and would be unthinkable just a few decades ago.
Rest assured that this is not normal, and should never be normalized. There are root cause(s) to this, and it is imperative that we begin to ask questions and start looking for the root causes to the public health crisis that is facing our nation today.
What is the difference between a Mid-life Crisis, and a Mid-life Awakening?
Also, did you know that based upon today's average life expectancy, mid-life is right around the ages of 35-38 years of age?
Are you, or have you, had a mid life crisis / awakening?
I'm convinced that our human system has a preprogrammed 'check engine' light that is designed to come on around our mid-life so that we can check in and inquire about the nature of our existence and life.
So, what is the difference between a mid-life crisis, and a mid-life awakening?
That is what today's brand new episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast is all about. I invite you to give this episode a careful listen.
Many people do not like the word sales. For many, sales can feel disingenuinous at best, and manipulative at worst.
I have come to truly appreciate sales, however, becuase I have come to learn that everything in life is about sales. Sales involves investment which leads to value exchange. Without investment of some kind, there can be no container in which transmission of value can sustainably occur.
With that said, however, I had a podcast interview with a man who helped me upgrade my understanding of sales tremendously. As a result of this conversation, I no longer see sales as sales, but as collaboration.
Are you a collaborater? If you are, you will bring a lot of value to this world. I would like to invite you in to listen to my podcast interview with an expert collaborator named Peter Anthony.
Peter Anthony is an author, speaker and Master in Professional Communication. As an expert in collaboration, Peter has run workshops for thousands of people in 12 countries for over 20 years. He consults with Fortune 500 companies to help them achieve better, smarter outcomes from more effective internal and external relationships. His book Collabradabra highlights the six moments that matter to maximize collaborative outcomes one conversation at a time.
You will be glad that you listened to this episode...
Did you know that you have the power to literally shape the way someone perceives themselves at an unconscious level?
There is a psychological phenomenon called the Pygmalion Effect that is one of the most powerful tools that we all have at our disposal that few people are aware of.
The Pygmalion Effect is always happening. Unfortunately, it's often happening in an unconscious way creating tremendous damage and division in our relationships and society.
As we approach another election season here in the United States, it's imperative that we understand that our divisions and reactions toward other people and groups are largely a result of the Pygmalion Effect.
I would like to invite you to give this important episode a careful listen.
In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, Jamal talks in more detail about the nature of intention, and he also unveils a special challenge for the New Year for all of us.

In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I sit down with Dave Albin who is an incredible human being who spent nineteen years working with the legendary Tony Robbins. Dave was in change of all the firewalks for Tony Robbins events globally. Dave has helped men, women, children, and corporate executives (an estimated 500,000 people) walk on burning hot coals and broken glass without injury for almost two decades. Why would anyone want to walk on hot coals and broken glass you might ask?
What can walking on hot coals and broken glass teach you?
It can teach you that when you are in a peak state, we can defy the laws of physics and do the impossible. In addition to Tony Robbins, Dave has worked with organizations like NASA, GOOGLE, The University of Notre Dame, etc...
This is a special and important episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast. In this episode, I share a message that is very dear to my heart about peace, and about becoming a person of peace.
How do we cultivate a life of peace in the midst of violence?
How do we respond to conflict and violence without becoming violent ourselves?
Is true peace passive in the face of injustice, or is it active?
In this epsiode, I share four very important realities that we need to understand as we are surrounded by violence and are being called to react with violence. Please give this episode a careful listen.
In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I sit down with award winning author, educator, and athlete Suzy Ryan to discuss her incredible story of childhood abuse, homelessness, and her journey to becoming an award winning educator.
In this episode, we talk about her story, a bit about her new novel Saving Summer, and also how her childhood trauma led her to the brink of death as an adult through the development of a mysterious heart condition that many are linking to unprocessed trauma. You'll appreciate Suzy's inspiring story.
Do you know what the earliest warning signs of chronic disease are?
In the Western world, many people assume they are in good health until they are diagnosed with a diease. The problem is, that's not how life works. Disease begins very subtly and is likely with us long before we are aware that it is there.
Our system will give us warning signs in advance, however. It's important to become aware of the roots of chronic disease as it begins at the subtle level before it manifests at the physical level.
In this epsiode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I invited doctor of Ayurveda Victor Briere back on the show again to discuss how to recognize if we are on the road of health, or chronic disease. The warning signs just might surprise you.
Give this episode a careful listen. Your life and health are worth it.
You can connect with Ayurvedic Doctor Victor's work further HERE.
Equanimity- Mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, especially in a difficult situation.
In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I sit down with Jodi Wellman again on the show to discuss the all important state of being called equanimity.
Are you equanimous in your daily life? If not, we will not have the ability to experience life fully, and we will not have the ability to respond to the situations that are happening in our lives. Also, having equanimity as it relates to death gives us a greater access to life.
This is a fantastic conversation that I invite you into. Listen and enjoy!
In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, Aly Sousa and I continue our series about the dynamics that drain us of vital life force energy.
In this episode, we talk about why clinging to our own opinions about how life should be, and also about how our fantasies about the past or the future play a major role in draining us of life force energy leading to a breakdown in health in every aspect of our life.
We also discuss the role of being present in conversation and how important it is to listen and allow ourselves to be moved by not resisting what is being communicated because of our own sense of judgement or fear of powerlessness.
This conversation was one of my personal favorites with Aly. I invite you to give this episode a careful listen.
In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I had the privledge of interviewing Jay Alan, founder and CEO of Gangstaholistic.
Several years ago, Jay found himself on the verge of death. In his thirties, Jay developed chronic and uncontrolled hypertension which led to stage two renal disease and congestive heart failure. He was literally on the verge of death. This is when he decided to take control of his health.
In three months, Jay had completely reversed his congestive heart failure and renal disease by embracing a holistic approach to health. This success eventually led Jay to creating a company called gangstaholistic which aims to give people access to health and wellness. I strongly encourage you to listen to this episode carefully.
Did you know that your physical body is a replica of your energy body?
Did you know that your energy body is where all ease and dis-ease originates?
Did you know that plant based psychedelics are typically more popular in the Western world, but are often discouraged as a spiritual path by many yogis in the Eastern world? Do you know why this is?
In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, Aly Sousa joins the conversation with Jamal to explore these topics further.
In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I interview Dr. Nathan Riley MD, OB-GYN about how his experience as a physician in the western medical system led him to disillusionment, a spiritual awakening, and eventually to move beyond the traditional medical model to create a practice that is one of the most effective in the nation. Nathan Riley, MD, is a board-certified OB-GYN and fellow of ACOG who left the medical industrial complex due to his disillusionment with the “standard of care” within the conventional maternity care model. This was hard because “going with the flow” of hospital-based practice was providing him financial security. On the other hand, standing in his truth from having sat with over 1000 births and connecting with women and their families has provided him a lifestyle more in alignment with fatherhood, deepening his connection with his wife, and caring for people in the way that he had anticipated long before stepping into practice. Dr. Riley now focuses his time on upholding the traditional practice of midwifery. He supports midwives as a collaborative physician for midwives of all varieties in over twenty states. He is an advocate for home birth and still attends births for those in need. He boasts a c-section rate of
If I'm being honest, although I am an author, I am not someone who typically likes to read books. I almost never seek out books, and would rather do many other things in my down time than read. With that said, some books have a way of finding me. When they do, they usually find me because of frequency.
A book recently came into my awareness called 'Returning To Eden' by Heather Hamilton. As soon as I began to interact with the book, I realized that the frequency of this book is refreshing, and one that I deeply resonate with in many ways.
If you identify as a Christian, especially as an evangelical Christian, let me gently encourage you to consider listening to this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast as I interview Heather Hamilton about her new book Returning To Eden. Let me also encourage you to get a copy of her book Returning To Eden.
No, not because you will agree with everything in this podcast interview, (or her book), but because it may cause you to consider a perspective that your current sources of information have not been able to present you with. Growth is important for us all, and it takes conscious effort to remain open-minded and to not fall into a closed echo chamber. This is a typical challenge in belief systems of all kinds.
On the other hand, if you have been deeply damaged by the Christian religion and find anything resembling your previous faith to be distaseful or triggering, let me also gently encourage you to listen to this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, and also to consider reading Returning to Eden. You may find it to be restoritive in ways you may not have thought possible.
In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal, Aly Sousa joins me on the show once again to reveal and discuss another paradigm that keeps many of us stuck and unproductive in life. Ironically, a major tendency that works against our productivity in life is the compulisve drive to get ahead and accomplish tasks. This drive leads many of us to compuslive busyness and multi-tasking.
For many of us, if we are not busy doing many different things, we may feel unproductive and lazy, leading to guilt, shame, and addictive patterns of escape. For others, the feeling of unproductivity may motivate us to work harder and do more things. Either way, this pattern is a major drain of our life force energy which leads to an unproductive life.
Let me encourage you to give this conversation an important listen.
In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal Podcast, I had the opportunity to sit down with Rachel King, an award winning attorney & litigator, who founded her own law firm in 2014. Rachel's firm specializes in business law, family law, estate law, real estate law, etc...
Rachel is a serial entrepreneur starting at the age of 12. This work ethic and drive at an early age led to 7 years of military service. Utilizing the disciplined skills to move forward owning multiple business, Rachel acquired the desire to continue expanding her talents. The passion for Law was instilled in her from birth from her father’s law career, so she followed in his footsteps opening her own law firm in 2014.
I enjoyed my conversation with Rachel and wanted to share it with you as it gives us a rare look into the life of an attorney who has a desire to use her talents as an attorney to promote healing and peace in a field of law often filled with anger and division.
In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, Aly Sousa comes back on the show to kick off part one of our seven part series on how to stop hemorrhaging away our vital life force energy. In this episode, we talk about how excessive emotional reactivity (triggers) deplete us of vital life force energy over time leaving us exhausted and energetically spent. This ultimately leads to more reactive tendencies that lead to more energy drain.
Give this conversation a careful listen.
In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I have an important conversation with Dr. Amanda Barrientez about why our relationship with money is actually a mirror of our inner life, and also why money can be profoundly spiritual.

She’s a bestselling author, an international speaker, the host of The Woman Entrepreneur Podcast, and the NFA Money YouTube Channel.

In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I interview an extraordinory human being by the name of Lion Goodman. Several years ago, Lion was shot four times at point blank range in the head. He had an out of body experience, but eventually survived the incident and began to relate to the person who shot him immiediately after returning to his body.
Needless to say, this incident radically changed Lion's life and eventually led him to discover his life's true work as a executive coach and healer. Give this episode a careful listen.
This episode of The Love Cast with Jamal is all about how your relationship with your Self determines and impacts your physical health. Magic Barclay, my guest on today's show, knows all about this subject. When Magic was a single mother of two small children, she came face to face with her mortality a number of times. As a cancer, Lyme disease, stroke, Diabetes, Heart attack, Morbid Obesity, and hypoxia survivor, Magic has seen firsthand how treating the root cause of her illnesses gave her the tools to acquire a level of health she only dreamed possible.

In addition to this news, I also share the top ten most downloaded episodes of the year for The Love Cast with Jamal podcast. Give this episode a listen.
Is the new post pandemic phenomenon of 'Quiet Quitting' a move toward laziness, or is it a move toward a healthy work / life balance? In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I asked Country Music Artist & Media Coach Amy Scruggs to come back on the podcast to talk more about her recent appearance on the Dr. Phil show where they discussed and debated the post pandemic phenomenon called 'Quiet Quitting'.
This was a controversial topic on the Dr. Phil show, and is one that needs to be unpacked further in our national discourse in my observation. I invite you to listen to Amy's perspective on the Dr. Phil show, and also to listen to my interview with her in today's episode.
It has been said that death ends a way of life, but death doesn't end relationship.
In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I have a conversation with a very unlikely medium named Isabeau Maxwell. Isabeau was a non-spiritual skeptic in life who studied math in university. All that changed for her when Isabeau's grandmother visted her in her home shortly after she died. This was the first of many encounters with her deceased grandmother.
You're going to want to give this episode a careful listen.
What happens to us after we die? For many people, this question is relegated to religious beliefs or intellectual conjecture. Almost no one speaks from their own personal experience because they have not yet died in this life. There are some people, however, that have experienced their own death and miraculously have returned to speak of their conscious memories of their experience beyond their bodies. On this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I interview an amazing woman who died in a severe car accident and was resuscitated with a profound life altering experience beyond her body. It’s not too often that you talk to someone who has died and consciously experienced life beyond the body, so I invite you to listen in closely to this episode.
Abraham Lincoln once famously said, "I don't like that man. I must get to know him better".
Are there people with whom you disagree that you also have a difficult time liking? Could it be that you don't know enough of their story?
In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I have an important conversation with revolutionary educator William Reusch about how to disarm the echo chambers that so pervade our public discourse when it comes to discussions about politics and current events, and also how to dialogue with those we disagree with.
William is a first class educator who teaches High School Civics / Government in the Los Angeles area. William is known to challenge the status quo by teaching his students to question conventional 'group think' by teaching them critical thinking skills. He also threw out his civics textbook.
William has been featured on numerous shows, including the Glenn Beck program, for his unconventional approach to education
In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal, William shares important wisdom for us as we seek to bring understanding, unity, and healing to our divided society. Give this episode a careful listen.
In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I sit down with Emmy Award winning actor Kiko (Ise) Ellsworth. In this episode, Kiko talks about his acting career, his disillusionment with his Hollywood career, his quest to discover his true spiritual self beyond the character he was playing in life, and ultimately how this led him to become an integrated masculine presence and healer.
Kiki (Ise) has appeared on hundreds of tv shows, films, commercials, and radio such as Lucifer, Bad Boys 2, Criminal Minds, General Hospital, and many others, while recently starring in the upcoming film opposite Eric Roberts, Danny Trejo, Shannon Elizabeth and Frank Whaley to be released in 2023.

Listen for the nuggets of gold in this conversation just for you.
Do you like Mondays? Did you know that the average person only experiences about four thousand Mondays in their entire life? How many Mondays have you already spent? How many do you think you have left?
It’s been said that although death is the destruction of the body, it is the awareness of death that actually saves our lives. I feel this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal is timely and very important for all of us as I have a very insightful conversation with Executive coach and speaker Jodi Wellman about her passion to utilize death awareness to bring a higher vitality of life to the world.
Jodi named her business Four Thousand Mondays because it shines light on the finite number of weeks that an average human being has in their life. As a result, we need to live with focused intention and awareness.
Jodi holds a Master’s of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, where she is also an Assistant Instructor. As a certified coach with 25 years of corporate leadership experience, she helps executives, teams, and high performers work well and live even better.
I would like to extend a special invitation to you to listen carefully to this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast today.
My previous conversation with former NFL & College football coach Evan Burk on the podcast was such a pivotal conversation that I asked him to come back on The Love Cast with Jamal podcast to talk about the all important subject of intangibles which is the subject of his book titled Finding Intangibles.
Again, Evan brings invaluable nuggets of gold and wisdom to our perspective in this conversation. As a life coach, I have observed that it is the intangibles in life that determine the difference between suffering and empowerment. I invite you to listen deeply to my conversation with coach Evan Burk about the vital nature of intangibles in this newest episode of The Love Cast with Jamal.
I recently had the privilege of interviewing country music artist, national TV host, author and media coach Amy Scruggs about her success as a musician (she’s been in the country music industry for more than 15 years opening for artists like Clint Black, Trace Adkins, Charlie Daniels, etc… and currently has a newly released single that is charting globally. In addition to her career in the music industry, Amy also thrives in the media world having been the host of several national TV shows.
Amy’s story is the very embodiment of the main message in my book ‘Living for a Living’. You won’t feel fulfilled if you’re just existing to pay the bills. We need to shift our focus beyond simply surviving, to discovering the ‘Why’ of our very existence. Amy’s story is truly miraculous and she is an example for all of us on how knowing our deepest ‘Why’ in life can lead to a fulfilling career of service to others.
Ayurveda is an ancient, yet modern, body of knowledge of health and life. The health modality of ayurveda is responsible for the healing of numerous chronic ailments that most modern Western medical practice has no ability or understanding to address. Ayurveda is a sanskrit word that means "the sacred knowledge or science of life".
In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I sit down with Ayurvedic Doctor Victor Briere to talk about the roots of chronic illness and also the roots of holistic health as well. I invite you to listen carefully to this episode. The information contained in this episode has the potential to add great value to your way of life.
When we hear the word 'betrayal', we might simply think of infidelity or an affair. While that is most certainly a form of betrayal, that is only one form of betrayal. Betrayal can be experienced in many different ways by a variety of different people.
When a parent, a friend, a business partner, a spouse, etc... doesn't show up for us in a way that we needed, or when we experience a sense of abandonment from a trusted source, that too is betrayal. Almost all of us have experienced betrayal at some level.
Contrary to popular belief, betrayal isn't something from which you can simply 'forgive' and move forward on an intellectual basis. Unless we address the roots of betrayal, we stay stuck in patterns of insecurity, fear, anger, sadness, a lack of trust, physical disease and illness, and much much more.
In order to heal from betrayal, our sense of 'Self' has to be completely reconstructed. In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal, I sit down with Dr. Debi Silber to talk more about this all important subject.
Dr. Debi Silber is the founder of the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute and is a holistic psychologist, a health, mindset and personal development expert, and the author of the #1 bestselling book: The Unshakable Woman: 4 Steps to Rebuilding Your Body, Mind and Life After a Life Crisis
Dr. Debi Silber has appeared on FOX, CBS, The Dr. Oz Show, TEDx (twice) and more, she’s an award winning speaker, coach and author dedicated to helping people move past their betrayals. Give this episode a careful listen.
Evan Burk went from coaching fourth grade football to coaching college football at the highest levels, and also coaching for the Miami Dolphins in the NFL in only six years.
More incredibly, Evan did not play collegiate sports, nor did he have any coaching pedigree or experience. So, how did he climb the coaching ranks to the highest level (the NFL) in only six years?
That's what this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal is all about. No matter if you are a sports fan or not, Evan's story will have direct implications for you and your place in life right now. Listen and recieve abundantly from this episode.
What does international terrorism have in common with our own political behaviors and mindsets when it comes to how 'progressives / liberals' and 'conservatives' interact and see one another? More than you may think.
This episode of The Love Cast with Jamal is a historic episode as I sit down with former CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) Analyst Brent Giannotta.
This is the first time I had the opportunity to interview a former CIA analyst on the The Love Cast with Jamal podcast. What Brent learned in the CIA has implications for all of us.
In this episode, we discuss why the roots of 'terror' actually reside in the uncomfortable fact that we all have been programmed to see the world through the primative lens of 'good' vs 'evil'.
As a result, the roots of terror lay much closer to home, possibly even within ourselves. Give this episode a careful listen...
In this episode of The Love Cast, I sit down with renown film producer, author, and meditation teacher Tom Cronin. After spending 26 years in finance as a broker on a trading room floor, suffering from addictions, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, insomnia and ultimately a nervous breakdown, Tom tuned into meditation to find a way out.
Tom went on to produce the documentary film and book The Portal, creating the world's first deep transcending style meditation program online, working with some of the top companies in the world in mindfulness and meditation from Amazon, Coca-Cola and Qantas, speaking on stages at some of the biggest conferences like Afest, Adews Summit, Wanderlust, etc...
In this episode, Tom and I discuss the insatiable nature of the ego and why we must transcend the ego if we are to tap into our ultimate potential as human beings individually, and humanity as a whole.
In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal sits down with hit TV actress Lisann Valentin to discuss her incredible journey from being a prominent defense attorney to becoming a New York Times best selling author and hit TV actress while also embracing her calling as an empath and spiritual healer.
Lisann Valentin has forty two credits to her name as an actress. She currently has a recurring role on the hit TV series Manifest (NBC / Netflix). Lisann is also known for her roles on The Blacklist (NBC), New Amsterdam (NBC), Blue Bloods (CBS), and many others.
Give this episode a careful listen as there are many nuggets of wisdom in this conversation that I'm confident will speak to you personally on your journey in life.

Talent and desire without integrity leads to poverty and perpetual struggle in all areas of life (relational, financial, health, etc…)
Integrity isn't about morality or honesty, rather, integrity is about being so deeply aligned with your true self, that external circumstances cannot sway you from experiencing life and setting your course from your own power and choosing.
In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal, we explore three major symptoms of a life that is operating in internal integrity. Are you operating in internal integrity? Listen carefully and discover.
In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal conducts a group interview / conversation with Taylor, Tori, and Scott about the reality of alignment and why alignment is essential to ending suffering in life and establishing peace on the planet. Taylor, Tori, and Scott also talk about how establishing alignment in their own lives personally have been essential to their own liberation. This episode is designed specifically for you.
Did you know that the need for goal setting and constantly accomplishing tasks in life may be an indicator that something fundamental within your life's energies is out of balance? If we don't have goals, how will we 'get ahead' in life? This is the subject of this episode of The Love Cast With Jamal.
This past Friday, November 19th 2021, my mother Beatrice Ann Jivanjee passed away.
My mother was one of the most influential people in my life, and I could not be the person I am today without her contribution to my development and understanding of the nature of life.
There are four main areas of life in which my mother imparted awareness to me. Today, I feel compelled to pass this awareness on to you because they are vitally important for us all.
I would be honored if you would allow my mother's impartation to me to continue on to you in the form of this podcast episode. May her story encourage you as you continue to shape your life today.
Did you know that the body is the antenna specifically designed to bring the 'signal' of life into clarity?
Did you know that the reason why many people are suffering today is specifically because they have not learned how to 'raise the antenna' of the body with enough precision to adequately 'tune' into life?
What does your spine, your mind, and your ingestion have to do with your experience of life? Turns out, more than you may know.
Do you know the difference between a situation and a struggle?
Is life a series of situations to be responded to, or a series of struggles to be resisted?
Can life be free of struggle altogether?
Yes!
In this episode, I continue a conversation with the extraordinary Bobby Downes about this very subject. This is part two of a two part conversation.
May this be the beginning to the end of your struggles,
Do you know the difference between a situation and a struggle?
Is life a series of situations to be responded to, or a series of struggles to be resisted?
Can life be free of struggle altogether?
Yes!
In this episode of The Love Cast With Jamal, I have a conversation with the extraordinary Bobby Downes about this very subject. This is part one of a two part conversation.
In this episode of The Love Cast With Jamal, I will be predicting your future. If you are interested in becoming much more aware of your future, then you may want to listen to today's episode. Warning, this episode isn't for everyone. If you come to terms with the future that I will be revealing, your present day life may be drastically affected. Listen at your own risk.
In this episode of The Love Cast, I address a common misconception that many have made about the message of my book 'Living For A Living'. Many mistakenly assume that my book advocates that our purpose and passion in life will become our main source of monetary income in life. This is not what it means to 'Live For A Living'. In this episode, I talk about why our passion and purpose in life may not always be the main stream of monetary income for us.
In this very important episode of The Love Cast, Jamal talks about why inconsistency on, and impatience with, the healing journey can lead to manic behavior which keeps people stuck in cycles of poverty, suffering, and powerlessness. Please listen to this episode with careful attention.
Did you know that fire plays a vital part of our vital life energies?
Would you like to reclaim freedom and control of your daily life? If so, I invite you to listen to this episode and implement the two strategies that are discussed in this episode of The Love Cast With Jamal.
Is your food alive or dead?
Have you considered this question? If not, chances are you are distracted with other things of lesser importance. In this episode, I have a conversation with Tori Carpenter about what it means to be devoted to life by becoming devoted to food. Tori discusses her findings from 'The China Study', and the implications are vitally important.
In the scope of modern human history, we are the most technologically advanced than we have ever been. Never before has daily living been as easy as it is in this current day and age with the necessities of life literally available at the command of our finger tips.
So, why are we suffering more than ever before?
Why is there so much drama, fear, division, and noise online and in our own lives?
Why do we need to medicate just to make it through the day?
Why is there so much sickness, substance abuse, addiction, and suicide destroying the lives of so many?
Because of a lack of devotion. In this episode of The Love Cast, we will introduce the concept of 'devotion' and we will talk about water. Yes, water. Water is vitally important if we are going to live a life of devotion free of suffering.
Give this episode a careful listen.
Did you know that the service and retail industry, particularly in California, was one of the most decimated sectors of business in the United States due to the severe and extended lockdowns and restrictions placed on small businesses in California?
Did you also know that Sidecar Doughnuts, a rapidly growing and innovative service based company in Southern California, thrived and grew in 2020 despite those conditions?
In this episode of The Love Cast With Jamal, I had a wide ranging interview with Sidecar Doughnuts Founder & President Sumter Pendegrast about his life, his spiritual deconstruction, and his career as an entrepreneur. Success leaves clues, and I guarantee you there will be nuggets of gold for you in this conversation. Give this episode a careful listen.
Did you know that for many people in Jesus' day, his message was pretty lame and unconvincing?
Did you know that his message of internal empowerment seemed to invalidate the powerlessness and victim identity that many had adopted for their lives?
Jesus' refusal to scapegoat the powerful political leaders of his day for the suffering of the people, and his embrace of the 'ordinary' abundance of nature as a metaphor for the 'kingdom' that the people were longing for, was too un-dramatic for the masses. Give this episode a careful listen...
Do you know the difference between truth and belief?
Did Jesus tech people to have beliefs, or how to recognize the nature of truth in everyday life?
Life has taught me to recognize that truth and belief are not the same thing. Beliefs close the mind, but truth opens the mind. The difference between truth and belief is much more than just semantics, rather, knowing the distinction between truth and belief will have implications of how you interact with life itself. Give this episode a careful listen...
Did you know that being 'For' or 'Against' anything promotes perpetual resistance? Did you know that anything we resist will continue to persist? So, what is the solution to any and all problems in this world?
Hint: It involves taking a stand for nothing.
Before you reject what I am saying, I extend a special invitation to you to listen to this episode with curiosity and awareness so you can see the essence of what I am communicating in this episode...
If someone showed up at your home suddenly, in the middle of the night, with the demand that they be allowed to come into your home so they can protect you, would you easily and casually open the door without doing some investigative research on who the person actually is? Probably not. So, why is this same logic being used to persuade us to take the rapidly produced new drug?
In this episode of The Love Cast With Jamal, I have an open discussion with Dr. Richard Vanderloo about why he has made the conscious decision not to take the new drug. Give this episode a careful listen...
In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal shares some breaking news about the podcast that will require your involvement. Listen to find out more...
What if the very thing you have been resisting, avoiding, fearful of, and are in conflict with, is actually the key to your peace?
In this episode of The Love Cast, I conduct an epic conversation with transformational coach AJ Amyx about why falling in love with the conflict you've been resisting could actually be the key to peace and power in your life. We cover a lot of subjects in this episode, but the theme of this conversation is about surrendering to the experience we may be trying to avoid, including embracing conflict, as a path to sustainable peace. You'll want to listen to this one very carefully.
The reason past injustices keep repeating for us, both personally and collectively, is because the past remains our primary reference point. Every time we react to past injustice using shame and blame, we are actually bringing the past energy of injustice into the present.
To end injustice, powerlessness, and perpetual victimhood, (both personally and collectively), we need a reference point from the future, not the past. When we visualize and have a dream of holistic justice, and hold that as our new reference point, we bring the energetic future we all desire into the present which then creates our future. Give part five of this series a careful listen.
Did you know that the ego needs to be aware of and focused on problems to survive?
This also applies toward health. When we are operating under the influence of divine source energy, however, our focus shifts away from problems and illness, and toward feelings of gratitude for our health and abundance. In this episode of The Love Cast, I share a story of how this subtle shift in awareness helped cure someone of a terminal disease.
When do you feel the most accomplished and productive?
If you struggle feeling accomplished and productive when relaxing and resting, it may be an indicator that you are not operating under the influence of divine source energy.
In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal discusses the third sign that indicates we are operating under the influence of divine source energy, and also why knowing our inherent perfection is key to a productive life...
Do you know the difference between a thermostat and a thermometer?
Do you operate as a thermometer or a thermostat in life?
In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal talks about sign #2 that indicates the nature of that which we are operating under the influence of. This is part two of a new five part series about operating under the influence. Give this episode a careful listen...
In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal discusses sign #1 of the five signs that indicate that a person is operating under the influence of source (divine) energy. This is part 1 of a new five part series on The Love Cast podcast. Give this episode a careful listen...
All human beings will encounter seasons of significant grief in their lives. No matter who you are, grief truly connects us all. While some become trapped and paralyzed by their grief, others transcend grief and are propelled into empowerment.
In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal & Taylor interview the Carpenter twins about their journey through significant grief this past year, and how their grief has led them into empowerment. You won't want to miss this interview as I believe the things shared here in this episode will have direct implications for your own life.
A week after the 2020 presidential election, three major things have been revealed.
People have been waiting a long time to feel like they can make a consequential choice about their own life and society.
The narrative we were given is fiction.
People's inherent power must be given away in order to be controlled.
I invite you to listen to this episode of The Love Cast with an open mind as these three observations about the election are explored in further detail.
Is cold the opposite of heat? Is hate the opposite of love? Is darkness the opposite of light? Is death the opposite of life? Is poverty the opposite of abundance?
No.
There is only heat. There is only love. There is only light. There is only life. There is only abundance.
What is called coldness is simply a lack of awareness of heat. Coldness is substance-less, but heat is substance. What is called hate is simply a lack of awareness of love. Hate is substance-less, but love is substance. What is called darkness is simply a lack of awareness of light. Darkness is substance-less, but light is substance. What is called death is simply a lack of awareness of being. Death is substance-less, but life is substance. What is called poverty is simply a lack of awareness of abundance. Poverty is substance-less, but abundance is substance.
Failure to understand this reality leads to unnecessary duality and an opposition & struggle against that which simply doesn't exist.
Do you feel worthy?
In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal talks about why a deep unconscious belief of our unworthiness keeps us from easily moving into our highest and fullest potential. It is often a deep seated belief that our worthiness is something that we need to attain that causes us to work and perform for it. While we can never work for worthiness, we can certainly work from a deep knowing of our own inherent worthiness. When we do, everything changes effortlessly.
Love & relationship...you can never work for it, but you most certainly can work from it. In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal talks about the following three points about love and relationships:
No one can make you feel anything.
No one actually ever has relationship problems.
Relationships are a mirror to be welcomed as an opportunity to go inward.
To understand the implications of these truths for our lives and relationships, give this full episode a careful listen.
Do you know what your purpose is?
Most people live their entire lives in the dark about their purpose. Survey after survey reveals that the majority of people either haven't considered that they have a unique purpose, or that they don't know how to discover their life's purpose.
In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal talks about how to allow our purpose to actually discover us by removing the two major obstacles that we have been indoctrinated with that keep us unaware of our highest purpose.
Are you significant? Are you credible? Are you qualified?
How do you determine the answer to these questions? What is your blueprint for determining your significance, your credibility, and your qualifications? Do you know the difference between working from significance as opposed to working for significance? Do you know what successful corporate executives and many inmates in prison have in common?
Find the answers to these all important questions in this episode of The Love Cast.
Those who work to live a safe and secure life will not achieve it, but those who live and work from a state of security and safety will never lack a safe and secure life.
In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal talks about why seeking safety and security through our work leads to the abandonment of the very two things that actually give us a life of safety and security. Give this episode a careful listen...
Do you know the difference between working * for * something and working * from * something?
In this episode of The Love Cast, I discuss why working 'for' something often leads to failure, but working 'from' something leads to success. In this episode, I discuss why quitting my job and losing my health insurance several years ago was a catalyst for me to begin the journey into achieving true healthcare. Hold your judgements and assumptions and give this episode a careful listen...
Out here in California, it's officially wildfire season. During this season, one spark can engulf an entire region into flames and destruction. In this episode of The Love Cast, I talk about how apt of a metaphor this is to our current situation in our own individual lives, and also as a wider society. For us, it is our words that either drive our lives forward into states of healing and wholeness, or into states of despair and destruction. Give this episode a careful listen...
Do you FEEL like a liability, or an asset?
In this episode of The Love Cast, I discuss what 99% of our poor and middle class society has never been taught, but what the 1% of the wealthy in society seem to realize. Viewing our life through liability energy at the subconscious level affects every aspect of our lives from our relationships, to our health, to our finances. Give this episode a careful listen...
Did you know that violating the law of least effort leads to burnout, relational breakdown, and the perpetuation of poverty? Most of us have been conditioned to believe in the hard work ethic, but true, sustainable, and effective accomplishment occurs by honoring the law of least effort. Give this episode a listen to find out more...
Did you know that evangelical evangelist Billy Graham and microbiologist Louis Pasteur are both influential figures that are largely known for beliefs and theories that they espoused early in life but came to disavow in their later years?
In the case of Louis Pasteur, most modern medical understanding of the immune system (and current treatment protocols) are rooted in ideas he later disavowed. So, why is Louis Pasteur known for his earlier ideas and not his later discovery? The same can be said for Billy Graham. In this episode of The Love Cast, I talk about what Billy Graham and Louis Pasteur can teach us about the virtues of personal evolution.
Do you know why my Facebook post about censorship was shared 459 times so far?
In this episode of The Love Cast, I talk about the flawed psychology of censorship, and what is at the root of the desire to censor others we may disagree with. Censorship and ridicule of those we disagree with always speaks more about the nature of our own state of mind than those we are trying to censor or ridicule. External forms of censorship are ultimately a mirror of an internal state of censorship. Give this very important episode a careful listen...
In this episode of The Love Cast, I talk about my current bout with a very painful health condition called shingles (caused by the herepes zoster virus) and why this is actually great news for me. I made some very significant discoveries that have important implications for us all. Give this episode a careful listen...
In this episode of The Love Cast, I talk about the little known or understood reality which states: "we become that which we oppose". While disagreement is a natural part of life, operating from the energy of opposition keeps us mis-aligned from our highest and most empowered self.
In this podcast, I talk about the three step process that will take us out of opposition energy, and into an energy that aligns with our highest self. This might be my most important podcast to date...
Although our current national conversation is about the virus, there is a much more prevalent viral condition that is being exposed and brought to the surface in this season of upheaval. I'm speaking of the virulent virus of victimhood. In this episode of The Love Cast, I share a three step process that can help us overcome the virus of victimhood and also help relieve the debilitating effects of anxiety and depression as well. Give this episode a careful listen...
What is going on? Why is this year (2020) so tumultuous? How could the 'experts' get the predictions so wrong about the virus? How can I trust the media and government leaders who warn of the grave dangers and selfishness of opening businesses and not wearing masks in public, and yet rave about and defend mass gatherings of protestors at the same time? How do we know what to believe?
Have you asked these same questions? In these tumultous times, it's imperative that we have access to a reliable and trustworthy source of knowledge. I am convinced that human beings were not designed to live in perpetual ignorance, but in pure awareness. Ignorance is simply unconsciousness to what we already know.
In this episode of The Love Cast, I share how you can become someone who is all knowing by becoming conscious of what you already know. Give this episode a careful listen...
It's been said that "a riot is the language of the unheard", but do you know what the language of the heard is?
It seems that a vast majority of people in our society (the herd) feel unheard. In this episode of The Love Cast, I talk about why speaking the language of the unheard leads to more unhearing, and I also talk about how to replace this faulty language with the empowering language of the heard. May we stop speaking the language of the herd, and start speaking the language of the heard. Give this episode a careful listen...
In response to the media coverage of George Floyd's tragic death and the subsequent national unrest, a social media campaign called Blackout Tuesday was designed to be a show of support and solidarity for the black community and a demonstration against the tragedy of George Floyd's death. I, however, made a choice not to participate in blackout Tuesday or any subsequent protests.
In this episode of The Love Cast, I share in significant detail why I am deciding not to participate in these protests and I also share the three major observations about the American media that I feel compelled to share with you.
Although I feel this information in this podcast is important, I do know that not everyone will appreciate or receive this information well in light of our current polarized discourse. My goal in this podcast is to provide you with a perspective that you may not have considered for your emotional and physical health. There is a lot of information shared in this episode that I feel needs to be considered.
With that said, if you feel this podcast may trigger you or cause you anxiety, it may be best for you not to listen to this episode. If you do make the choice to listen to this episode, please listen to this entire episode from start to finish as this episode will require careful consideration and intentional hearing. Please respond to the entirety of this conversation, especially the conclusion of this podcast. Thanks very much.
Do you know the difference between anger and rage? How about disease and health?
In the last few months, our society has been pulled in two traumatic directions with the use of fear, and now rage. Fear and rage are the two puppet strings that keep getting pulled to manipulate our society. Complex issues like health and racism can only be solved by those who are liberated from the puppet strings of fear and rage. Please give this episode a careful listen...
In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal discusses the mindset of prostitution and how this mindset is actually programmed into us at very early ages and affects us all, including society's top levels of leadership. Give this episode a careful listen...
In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal interviews Dr. Marisa Marquis, Doctor of Chiropractic, and her husband Dr. Todd Marquis, about their journey away from terminal disease and into health. A few years ago, Dr. Todd Marquis was on death's door suffering from heart failure with an estimated one to two years left to live. Today, Dr. Todd Marquis is alive and well, free of heart failure, and free of the numerous medications that were once keeping him alive. In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal interviews Drs. Marisa & Todd Marquis about why health is an inside job, and how this holistic philosophy to life saved his life.
The Drs. Marquis are on a mission to spread health and improve mindset through community outreach, education, and in-office services at Riverside Family Chiropractic. Dr. Marisa is a Max Living chiropractor and Dr. Todd has a PhD and certificates in mindset. The Drs. Marquis were recently nominated for the top 100 Healthcare Leaders award due to their dedication to community outreach. Give this important conversation a careful listen...
Do you find yourself getting agitated by current events?
Are you angry with the government (president, congress, republicans, democrats, etc...)?
Do you find yourself lashing out more with those in your life, or ranting on social media?
Did you know that the situations and people that are deeply affecting us are actually a mirror of our own consciousness?
In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal talks about why it is imperative that we stop judging and resisting that which is serving as our mirror, and start healing the source of the reflection we have been reactive to.
This is part two of a two part interview with film producer & entrepreneur Bobby Downes...
I recently had the privilege of sitting down with a dear friend of mine, Bobby Downes, for this episode of The Love Cast. Bobby is an award winning film & TV producer, as well as an experienced entrepreneur who created and served as President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Strategy Officer, of several multi-million dollar companies. In addition to Bobby's work in the film industry, from 2006-2008, Bobby helped finance, develop the branding, and collaborated on the writing of the #1 New York Times' best selling novel 'The Shack'.

This episode of The Love Cast is part one of a two part interview where Bobby talks about his journey in life, his deconstruction from evangelicalism, and his courageous decision to give his company away. Bobby is a gift to many people, and I believe this conversation will greatly enrich your life.
In stressful times, it is important to have light conversations from time to time, so Taylor and Jamal decided to have a lighter conversation on this episode of The Love Cast. In this episode, we decide to answer twenty questions. Listen in and discover some fun facts about us that you may not have known.
Triggers and challenges are opportunities to process past trauma and up-level our mode of being. Triggers and challenges are not comfortable, but they come to us at the exact right time when we are ready to move forward. We are all experiencing a collective ‘trigger’ right now with news of the pandemic causing lots of distress for us collectively. This is all happening at the exact right time. In this episode of The Love Cast, Dr. Katy Valentine returns to the podcast to join me for an important conversation about our current events surrounding the virus and how we can respond in a way that brings peace and healing to ourselves and the wider world. Give this episode a careful listen.
Hi friends,
What a tumultuous last few days we have experienced. If you’ve been feeling anxious and unsettled about current events surrounding the spread of the Corona virus, that is completely understandable. With that said, I want to encourage you. In the midst of this upheaval, I believe that tremendous and needed change is on the horizon for us. In times like these, our perspective matters. In the uncertainty of our times is an opportunity and a necessity to radically shift our consciousness away from previous conditioned responses of lack and fear, and into healing states of love and peace on a daily and even hourly basis. For many of us, this is a fresh opportunity to put into practice all the new modalities of self care and awareness that we have been integrating into our lives. Simply put, we’ve been preparing for a time such as this. This is no time to shrink back to past patterns of lack and fear. Please give this important episode a careful listen.
You may be familiar with the flu, but are you familiar with the non-flu? In the long run, being prepared for and responding to the non-flu is much more vital for life and health. In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal shares three potentially life saving responses to the non-flu. These responses are:
Notice the non-flu.
Appreciate the non-flu.
Cultivate the non-flu. (both physically and spiritually)
Give this timely and important episode a careful listen.
In any post mortem of a relationship that has ended, it can be discovered what led to the death of the relationship, and conversely, what is essential for relationships to survive and thrive. In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal & Taylor discuss how their previous divorce helped them see that these three components are vital for any marriage / committed relationship to thrive:
Awareness
Presence
Sensuality / Sexuality
If you are in a committed partnership / marriage, or you desire to be, this episode is for you.
Author Meg Calvin, author of the newly released book titled: I Am My Own Sanctuary: How A Recovering Holy-Roller Found Healing & Power, is my guest on this episode of The Love Cast. In this interview, Meg talks about how the church leadership culture she was immersed in led to self abandonment and burnout, and also how she recovered and found that she already possessed all that she had been chasing in religious performance. In addition to this, we also discuss how past life trauma and guidance from our ancestors play a part in our current lives and work. This is an episode with lots of gold, so lean in and listen closely.
In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal & Taylor discuss the recent passing of basketball legend Kobe Bryant and why his death impacted so many people. Hint: the reaction to Kobe’s death had very little to do with Kobe Bryant himself, but with our own unprocessed pain. In addition to this observation, Jamal & Taylor also talk about why Kobe Bryant lived such an influential life. Hint: his real influence had little to do with his ability to put a leather ball into a metal hoop. His true influence went beyond basketball, and if we will pay attention to his example, we can live into this same influence in our own daily lives. Give this episode a careful listen.
Are you actively building off of the successes you had this past year?
Are you in a committed relationship or partnership of some kind?
Some people feel like they are falling behind, some people feel like they are stuck in rut, and others feel like they are overcoming obstacles and are moving forward. I've discovered that a key ingredient to moving forward on our journey is this all important thing called 'momentum'. In this episode of The Love Cast, Taylor and I discuss the momentum we experienced this past year, and how this is propelling us into 2020. In addition to that, we also share some vulnerable relationship intentions that we have in our relationship for this year as well. Give this episode a listen and discover your own momentum for this new year as well.
Every birth is the Christmas story.
In EVERY conception is the Christmas story. It is the Divine and the human coming together in each and every conception.
Chances are, you have probably been told that the Christmas story is only about the birth of one man, two thousand years ago, who was the light of the world. The Christmas story is typically understood as the divine incarnating as a human being (Jesus) who is called Emmanuel (which means God with us). Chances are, you've been told that Jesus is the real reason for the Christmas season. If this is the case, I believe you are actually missing the main point of the Christmas story. The real lasting and enduring power of the Christmas story isn't only about the human incarnation of divinity through the birth of Jesus, its about divine incarnation in each and every birth.
Before you react negatively to this reframing of the Christmas story, let me encourage you to listen in entirety to this latest episode of The Love Cast as my bride Taylor and I discuss why the real miracle of Christmas points to the birth of humanity as a whole (including you and me), not just one man. The implications for our lives are many.
Are you sitting down? Okay, good. Well, I have some fantastic news for you. Many of us, myself included, read physical books less and less these days. In place of physical books, many now listen to their books as audio books while on a jog, in the car, around the house, commuting by train, etc... So, it is with great excitement that I get to announce that Living For A Living is now available on Audible.com as an audio book!
I spent many hours in the recording studio recording this book that is near and dear to my heart. I personally believe that we are all here on purpose, and moving into that purpose is the key to actually living for a living, as opposed to living only to survive. This is why I wanted to get this book out as an audio book as well. In this episode of The Love Cast, I share a sample chapter with you to hear so you can decide if you'd like to get an audio copy for yourself or a loved one. Give this episode a careful listen, and then get your audio copy of Living For A Living HERE.

We've all heard that religion and politics shouldn't mix, but what about love and politics?
As a student of history, we can see that the marriage of religion and politics have yielded some of the world's darkest of ages, the worst forms of tribalism, nationalism, hypocrisy, control, etc... We still see this in our current political situation today. With that said, is there any place for a politics motivated by love? Is public service a 'no-go' zone for spiritually attuned and love motivated people? Is public office less 'spiritual' than other professions? In this episode of The Love Cast, I had the privilege of interviewing U.S. Congressional candidate David Kim about his decision to run for Congress. Give this episode an open minded listen.

In this episode of The Love Cast, Jamal interviews renowned life coach Lucas Gifford about the beauty of true masculinity. Lucas is the creator of the dynamic program for men called The Masterheart Man.
In this episode, Lucas talks about why most men are allowing their shadow masculine essence run their lives as opposed to their highest masculine essence. As a result, many men are living as little boys wrapped in an adult man's body. This manifests as either powerlessness and impotence (emotionally, spiritually, physically), or as a tyrant and bully. Both are manifestations of toxic masculinity.
Within each man is also a feminine essence, yet many men are unaware of this and have a dysfunctional relationship with the feminine essence in themselves and in their relationships which prevents them from assuming the role of lover they are destined to be.

In this episode of The Love Cast, we discuss a mature subject matter that might not be suitable for young ears. This episode deals with the topic of sexuality, and more specifically, sacred sexuality.
Most conversations about sex and sexuality usually come from one of two destructive and harmful extremes. One extreme views sex and sexuality from a shame based religious paradigm. This is rooted in the fallacious idea that base human nature and sexual desire is inherently evil, shameful, and is something to be repressed.
The other extreme takes a reactive and opposite approach to sex and sexuality by viewing it in a casual and non-sacred way.
In this episode of The Love Cast, Aly Sousa and Jamal Jivanjee seek to shed light on the destructive nature of seeing our sexuality as something shameful to be repressed, as well as the equally destructive nature of seeing sex and sexuality in a casual and non-sacred way. Why do we have sex or seek to engage with another sexually? This is an all important question that often goes un-examined. In this conversation, we discuss why our sexuality is one of the most powerful aspects of our being that has the potential for great healing and restoration, or for great pain and dehumanization. There are many layers to this conversation that are important for us to consider no matter if we are married or single. Give this episode a careful listen.
