    How do we return to love through life's trials and challenges? What does it mean to grow through grief, trauma, and tragedy to find deep meaning, connection, and sacred living? These are all questions answered in my deep dive with author, speaker, educator, and licensed psychiatrist Dr. Amy Banks. We talk about her powerful book, Fighting Time (2021), a collaboration with Mr. Isaac Knapper, which tells the story of Mr. Knapper’s wrongful conviction in the murder of Amy’s father, Dr. Ronald Banks, in 1979. We also explore the life, wisdom, and poetry of Amy's sister Kate Banks and the power of being with her at the end of her life going through assisted suicide after 2 years of dealing with stage 4 neuroendocrine cancer.

  • The World Made New with Paul Selig
    Dec 31 2024
    How do you feel about our world today? So many people live in fear of the future and what is happening in our world. But what if I told you, your world can be, and is being made new in beautiful ways and at higher levels than you could imagine? My inspiring and expansive conversation with the renowned channel Paul Selig offers an exciting vision of what that world could look like. Filled with transformational wisdom, this conversation is deeply insightful and will help you to still hope to find fulfillment and possibility in a world of your own making. Paul Selig is considered to be one of the foremost spiritual channels working today. He was born in New York City and received his master’s degree from Yale. A spiritual experience in 1987 left him clairvoyant. As a way to gain context for what he was beginning to experience, he studied a form of energy healing and began to “hear” for his clients. Described as “a medium for the living,” Paul has the unique ability to step into and “become” the people his clients ask about, often taking on their personalities and physical characteristics as he “hears” them telepathically. Paul’s work is widely featured in a variety of media, including ABC News Nightline, Fox News, the Biography Channel series The UneXplained, Gaiam TV’s Beyond Belief, and the documentary film PGS: Your Personal Guidance System. He has appeared on numerous radio shows and podcasts, including Coast to Coast AM with George Noory and Bob Olson’s Afterlife TV.
