PROSE-POETRY AS EMOTIONAL ARCHITECTURE: HEALING, IDENTITY, & BELONGING
2026/03/19
— "I want a second chance with you in a world where time is infinite boundaries will not divide religion will not win and loving you is not a sin."   For Shuchi, writing has always been a form of healing — not in the sense that it erases pain, but that it gives pain meaning. Every poem is an attempt to understand a feeling more deeply, to honor it, and to transform it into something that might help someone else feel less alone. Through her bestselling books "You Belong With Me" and "Why Did You Let Me Go?", she has explored the full spectrum of love and loss. These works emerged from personal experiences, but they belong to everyone who has ever loved deeply, lost painfully, and found the courage to begin again. Valeria interviews Shuchi Batra  — She is the author of  "You Belong With Me , A Million Times Over and Why did you let me go?." Shuchi Batra is an internationally recognized prose-poetry author known for blending narrative and micro-poetry to explore themes of identity, belonging, healing, and emotional resilience. She has written over 1,000 poems and authored the bestselling book "You Belong With Me", a prose-poetry novel that guides readers through heartbreak, self-discovery, and inner wholeness. She has authored 2 more books: "A Million Times Over" and "Why did you let me go?".  Elected Secretary of the Poetry Society of Virginia, Shuchi also serves as a literary judge and has been invited to speak and perform across literary platforms. Her work bridges cultural nuance and personal transformation, positioning poetry not as ornament, but as emotional architecture - a pathway toward integration, reflection, and healing. She was born in Delhi, India. At 17, she left home to pursue her education. She holds 3 degrees, including a CS engineering degree and 2 MBAs, and has worked in the fintech industry for over 11 years. Shuchi started writing poetry when she was just 8 years old. After losing her father at age 10, she coped with her emotions through poetry, diaries, and letters to God. She never imagined that her book- " You belong with me" that was written in the same format- in the form of diary writing will be loved by so many people across the world. She has been posting micro poems since 2021 and have 68k+ followers on Instagram and FB To learn more about Shuchi Batra and her work, please visit: https://shuchibatrapoetry.com/
Breaking Subconscious Patterns: A Path to Freedom
2026/03/19
— In a world where our experiences can challenge our sense of self-worth, it's essential to remember that we are inherently worthy just because we exist. Join Renée, the founder of True North Coaching and a dedicated trauma-informed guide, as she explores the journey of healing and growth. Together, we'll uncover how to create space for love, compassion, and authentic connections in our lives. True healing encompasses the mind, body, spirit, and soul, allowing us to develop a deeper relationship with ourselves. As we evolve, we invite more empowering energies into our existence. Discover how protective patterns that once kept you safe can lead you to your true self. Renée draws upon her expertise in neuroscience, timeline therapy, and emotional integration to guide you in gently dissolving unconscious patterns that shape your relationships and choices. Join us as we delve into the powerful topics of subconscious patterns, the missing link in healing, and the reflections our relationships provide about our inner world. So, get ready to embark on a journey toward freedom and transformation, where healing becomes evolution and your true self awaits! Valeria interviews Renée Guay — She is the author of  "Why We Attract Narcissists: Three Steps to Freedom."  Renée Guay is the founder of True North Coaching and a trauma-informed guide in emotional integration, subconscious patterning, and inner authority. Drawing from neuroscience, timeline therapy, neurolinguistic programming, nervous-system work, and lived experience, Renée guides others to recognize and gently dissolve the unconscious patterns shaping their relationships, choices, and sense of self.  After healing from PTSD herself, Renée discovered that insight alone doesn't create lasting change, safety and integration does. Her work focuses on helping the body complete what it never had the chance to finish, allowing clarity, choice, and self-trust to return naturally.  Known for her grounded compassion, and clarity, Renée brings conversations back to what truly creates freedom: integration, not fixing. Listeners leave feeling regulated, empowered, and equipped with simple tools they can use immediately.  At the heart of her work is one guiding truth: when the nervous system feels safe, life reorganizes and freedom becomes possible. All conversations are grounded in nervous- system safety, emotional integration, and restoring choice.  To learn more about Renée Guay and her work, please visit: https://www.truenorthcoaching.org/
How to Become the Person You Want to Be & Stay That Way
2026/03/19
— "Sustainable success isn't about big breakthroughs or dramatic changes—it's about the small, steady actions that keep you moving in the right direction. Daily Questions and self-reflection aren't just concepts; they're the habits that build a life of purpose, growth, and accountability. Whether you're leading a team, moving up in your career, or simply trying to be a better version of yourself, the key isn't just reaching your goals—it's keeping the momentum going. Keep measuring what matters, stay open to feedback, and surround yourself with the right people. That's permanence." — says Lisa.

Finding Peace with Food: Trauma, Attachment, & Emotional Eating
2026/02/26
— Welcome to A quest Of Well-Being podcast where we explore the intricate connections between our minds, bodies, and the food we eat. In today's episode, we're diving into the transformative insights from Galina Denzel's powerful book, Peace with Self, Peace with Food: A Trauma Healing Approach for Emotional Eating. If you've ever found yourself reaching for food during moments of stress or emotional turmoil, you're not alone. Emotional eating is a common struggle for many, often stemming from unresolved traumas. That's why we're here to discuss how identifying these patterns is the first step toward healing. Galina Denzel emphasizes the importance of self-compassion on our journey to overcoming emotional eating. She guides us through mindfulness practices to help recognize our triggers and cultivate a more conscious relationship with food. We'll also explore practical trauma healing techniques that Denzel presents, aimed at fostering a supportive environment for personal growth. With the right tools and awareness, we can create lasting change and find peace within ourselves—both mentally and physically. So grab your favorite cup of tea, settle in, and join us as we unpack the wisdom of Peace with Self, Peace with Food and discover how to nourish our bodies and souls. Valeria interviews Galina Denzel — She is the author of  "Peace with Self, Peace with Food: A Trauma Healing Approach for Emotional Eating." Galina is also the creator of the Peace with Food Transformation Group method, an intensive small group program that helps people resolve emotional eating by working directly with the body and the nervous system imprints from the past.  For 25 years, Galina battled her own complex relationship with food, trying every diet, nutrition plan, and therapeutic approach available - nothing worked. It wasn't until her training as a somatic practitioner working with trauma that she experienced an unexpected shift. Through learning to care for her nervous system, her decades-long food struggles dissolved. This led her to create a method that addresses the neurobiological roots of emotional eating rather than just the behaviors on the surface.  As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), NeuroAffective Relational Model Practitioner (NARM-P), and Somatic Practice Practitioner, Galina combines somatic exploration, movement, breath, art, and the power of human connection to help people come home to themselves.  Based in Colorado, Galina teaches workshops, leads small transformation groups and retreats, and has worked with thousands of students worldwide. Her approach is grounded in compassion, neuroscience, and the deep belief that our bodies already know how to heal - they just need the right support.

A PATH TO INNER PEACE: HEALING FROM STRESS, PAIN, & TRAUMA
2026/01/18
— The richest aspects of the journey aren't the big spiritual experiences. They're where the mystery meets each moment of our daily lives. Experiencing deep healing and insight there doesn't require practicing harder or longer. It just requires that we prioritize presence. Our practice comes alive when we prioritize presence above the deeply ingrained urges to self-protect. As each fear challenges us, we reassure ourselves that even if (or when) it came to pass, it could never take our connection to life itself. We will always have a home in awareness. No one and nothing can take that truth. In this way, we can grieve our worst-case scenarios now. We can soothe our gravest insecurities. And then live the day we already had planned to live—or the one we dream of—but from this fearless and connected place. Valeria interviews Justin Michelson — He is the author of  "Path to Peace: Healing from Stress, Pain, and Trauma." Justin Michelson is a meditation teacher, author, and wilderness guide. Through his root teacher Rodney Smith, and Rodney's teacher Ajahn Buddhadasa, Justin carries on the lineage of the Thai Forest Tradition of Theravada Buddhism. His unique style blends nature-based practice, emotional healing, and traditional Dharma teachings. He currently lives with his partner outside of Eugene, Oregon in a rural intentional community where, in addition to teaching and writing, he owns and operates Native Foods Nursery, a native edible plant nursery.  To learn more about Justin Michelson and his work, please visit: https://www.justinmichelsondharma.com/
SPIRITUAL EMBODIMENT
2026/01/17
— This episode explores the transformative journey of embodiment and nondual realization. These practices, when integrated into daily life, foster a deeper sense of wholeness and oneness. The journey is continuous, with senses becoming more refined, love and compassion more accessible, and the body finding greater balance and relaxation. Challenges like pain and emotional turbulence are natural, but resilience grows, enabling a return to comfort and safety. Embodiment is a gradual process, requiring consistent, mindful practice. This personal journey involves exploring inner depths and attuning to the surrounding world. It emphasizes that each individual is their own teacher, encouraged to approach the process with gentleness, patience, and love. Valeria interviews Judith Blackstone, PhD  — She is the is the founder of the Realization Process, a method of embodied psychological and relational healing and nondual spiritual awakening.  Judith teaches workshops and teacher certification trainings world-wide and online.  She was a psychotherapist in private practice for thirty-five years and before that, a professional dancer.  The Realization Process includes practices for stabilizing in nondual realization, as well as a method of recovering from trauma called Healing Ground, and a method of embodied movement called Stillness Moving.  She is the author of several books, including Trauma and the Unbound Body: the Healing Power of Fundamental Consciousness, The Fullness of the Ground: A Guide to Embodied Spiritual Awakening; The Enlightenment Process, and Belonging Here: a Guide for the Spiritually Sensitive Person.  Her latest book is The Embodiment Workbook for Women: Feel Centered, Grounded and More Fully Alive.

BREAKING THE SILENCE ON SPIRIT POSSESSION
2026/01/07
— The deep emotional pain you carry seeps into every part of life - waves of intense sadness, anxiety, or sudden anger that leave you drained. Thoughts spin endlessly, relationships grow tense, and exhaustion becomes constant. At times, you no longer recognize yourself, as though something unseen is shaping your feelings. It feels like you're losing control of your own life, and no one truly understands the depth of your suffering. For others, the pain is in watching a loved one change before their eyes. A partner, child, or parent becomes withdrawn, irritable, or almost unrecognizable, and nothing explains the sudden shift. When distress lingers without reason and nothing seems to help, the true cause may be something rarely discussed: spirit attachment—also known as spirit possession. This subtle influence can affect anyone, quietly disrupting emotional balance, physical well-being, and inner peace. Since 1968, the Dr. Wanda Pratnicka Center has quietly helped over 10,000 people worldwide find freedom from these unexplained symptoms. With formal education and five decades of experience, we understand what you're going through—and we know how to help. Our findings are documented in five books, including Possessed by Ghosts, translated into nine languages.  But what matters most is this: this suffering is real, and healing is possible. Valeria interviews Mike Pratnicka— He is the co-founder of The Dr. Wanda Pratnicka Center.  Mike gained a tremendous amount of spiritual insight about spirit attachment removal under Wanda's mentorship. Today, he performs the removals using Wanda's method. Thanks to Michael's ability to speak English and German, he handles all media inquiries, lectures and events in English & German languages. Wanda Pratnicka, PhD. - internationally recognized leader in esoteric science and a leading voice in spirit attachment phenomenon. She dealt with tens of thousands of people around the world who have suffered from emotional/mental disturbances and physical illnesses that were considered to be incurable. Wanda's unique ability is that she is able to diagnose and remove spirit entities, aka ghosts, from people remotely; no matter where a person is located. Wanda is also the author of the book series In the Wheel of Life Volumes 1-3. Her most recent book is Know the Truth and Be Free.

2026/01/07

AA IS NOT THE ONLY WAY: CREATIVE ADDICTION RECOVERY TOOLS
2025/12/25
— Wellness is an embodied, ongoing practice that integrates body, mind, and habits. Recovery and growth arise from personalized, compassionate support, evidence-informed tools, and sustainable daily practices rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Meaningful change is co-created: clients bring lived experience and goals; practitioners offer guidance, skill-building, and accountability. Reducing harm (including alcohol use), restoring balance, and cultivating resilience are interconnected aims best served by holistic interventions that honor individual values, foster agency, and prioritize long-term wellbeing over quick fixes. Learning, reflection, and incremental action transform survival into thriving. Valeria interviews Emma Gardner  — She is a UK-based solopreneur and recovery catalyst, helping individuals reclaim well-being through evidence-based coaching, practical nervous-system tools, and transformative programs. As founder of Evolve Recovery, Emma builds accessible resources—cards, journals, books, and courses—that support sustainable, compassionate change. With a background in addiction recovery, forensic science, and criminal justice, Emma blends science, lived experience, and practical strategies to guide listeners toward resilience. The work spans podcasting, course creation, and coaching, with a focus on trauma-informed, human-centered approaches that empower individuals and communities. Notable achievements include the development of the Recovery Box and a silver award for Best Product at the Mental Health Awards, reflecting a commitment to quality, impact, and accessibility. Emma hosts The Healing Odyssey podcast, featuring expert guests and real-world insights on recovery, mindfulness, and personal growth.  Emma has released her first book 'Life Re-imagined: A practical guide to recovery & growth'  and soon to release her new book, showing the different therapies and personal stories out in the world for people to discover, as 'AA is not the only way'.

A Deeper Story Of Your Soul & Its Essential Nature
2025/10/30
— What if reality isn't material at all—but a shared dream, woven by infinite, eternal minds? In James book, The Dream of Matter, he explores the radical idea that our brains are not just organs of survival, but reflections of the soul's deeper activity. If that's true, then the existence of the soul is not only real, but measurable—visible in the patterns of thought, the rhythms of brainwaves, and the coherence or incoherence of our lives. This is more than spiritual speculation. By decoding the mathematics behind mind and matter, the book offers a structured, rational approach to consciousness—showing how personal growth, mental health, and even the future of civilization depends on the same principle: the evolution of mind toward coherence. Mental health, in this light, is not a private luxury but social infrastructure. When minds fracture, families, institutions, and nations fracture with them.  Drawing on neuroscience, ontological mathematics, and systems theory, The Dream of Matter reveals how the soul can be approached as rigorously as any science—and why recovering it is essential for both individual well-being and collective survival. From the intimate journey of self-actualization to the emergence of a new social logic, this is a vision of coherence as both healing practice and civilizational compass.  Valeria interviews James Croall — He is the author of  "The Dream Of Matter: Neuroscience And Decoding The Mathematics Of The Soul." James is a former Silicon Valley cybersecurity leader turned neurotherapy practitioner and the author of the upcoming book The Dream of Matter: Neuroscience and Decoding the Mathematics of the Soul. After years of grappling with attention issues, burnout, and daytime fatigue, James discovered neurotherapy—an experience that profoundly reshaped his brain, his performance, and ultimately, his path. He now specializes in quantitative EEG (QEEG brain mapping), neurostimulation, and applied neurofeedback training. James holds certification as a QEEG technician and is trained in neurofeedback approaches that help clients build healthier brain patterns over time. Drawing from both systems engineering and cutting-edge neuroscience, he helps people manage and overcome symptoms related to focus, stress, mood, and trauma—without relying on medication or traditional talk therapy. His mission is to raise awareness of these science-backed tools, which remain surprisingly unknown to the general public despite their potential to change lives. The Dream of Matter grew out of a convergence between James's technical background, his transformation through neurotherapy, and a lifelong spiritual search for meaning and coherence. The book explores the deep structure of consciousness—arguing that the soul is real, governed by the same elegant mathematics that underlies the physical world, and may even be measurable.
