“I decided from then on that I was going to be my own savior and I wasn't going to wait for someone else to decide that I was worthy.” Episode summary This Earth Xperience features Michelle, also known online as Wisdom, a mother, grandmother, finance professional, aspiring author, and lifelong student of life. In this conversation, she shares her journey from organized religion to self defined belief, from fear to personal responsibility, and from survival to self awareness. Michelle reflects on growing up in a strict Christian environment where fear of hell shaped her self esteem and identity from a young age. After years of questioning contradictions in religious teachings and navigating personal hardship, including job loss and instability, she began studying multiple belief systems, psychology, and human behavior. That process led her to a pivotal realization that changed the direction of her life: she was responsible for shaping her own future. Rather than waiting for external validation, she began building herself intentionally. She describes this process as saving herself from self inflicted trauma, limiting beliefs, and the expectations placed on her by family, religion, and society. Through education, observation, and reflection, she started developing her voice, strengthening her communication skills, and stepping into a new identity rooted in discipline, curiosity, and self ownership. The conversation explores how identity is not fixed but constructed through repeated choices. Michelle shares how childhood independence shaped her need for control, how trust issues influenced her relationships, and how personal growth sometimes creates distance between you and the people you once relied on. She speaks honestly about friendship, grief, guilt, and the courage required to let go of relationships that no longer align with who you are becoming. Love is reframed in a practical way throughout the episode. Rather than viewing love as a feeling, Michelle describes love as discipline and responsibility. She explains that true connection begins with self development, and that relationships built from emptiness often lead to conflict and disappointment. Her decision to step back from romantic relationships reflects a commitment to becoming whole before sharing life with someone else. The conversation also examines modern life through the lens of psychology and evolution. Michelle discusses addiction, consumption, instant gratification, and the ways technology and convenience have shifted human behavior. She emphasizes that curiosity is the driving force behind human growth and survival, and that the willingness to question beliefs is what allows people to evolve.

What happens when someone challenges the way we think about health, food, discipline, and spiritual responsibility? In this episode of Earth Xperiences, we sit with Adama, a wellness and spiritual teacher who speaks about liberation, personal responsibility, and the role our daily habits play in shaping our future. This conversation explores how food, lifestyle choices, and belief systems influence the body, the mind, and the legacy we leave behind. We talk about cleansing the body, restoring health, and recognizing how long term habits can quietly build consequences over time. The discussion touches on generational health, family responsibility, spiritual awakening, and the importance of living in alignment with the values we say we believe. The message centers on the idea that healing is not only about knowledge or awareness. It is about consistent action and intentional living. This episode invites listeners to examine their routines, question cultural norms around diet and wellness, and reflect on how everyday decisions affect long term health, emotional strength, and spiritual growth. It also challenges the idea that success is measured only by achievement, encouraging a shift toward living in a way that supports life, clarity, and purpose. This conversation is for anyone exploring holistic wellness, personal discipline, spiritual development, and the connection between belief systems and daily behavior. It speaks to parents, caregivers, leaders, and individuals who want to leave a healthier foundation for the next generation and live with greater awareness of how their choices shape their future. Use these as reflection prompts for your audience, journaling moments, or discussion starters. What habits in my daily life are helping me thrive, and which ones may be slowly working against me? Do I believe healing comes from information alone, or from consistent action over time? What messages about food, health, and discipline did I inherit from my family or culture? How do my current routines reflect what I truly believe about caring for my body? Am I modeling healthy behaviors that the next generation can build on? When I say I want change, what am I willing to practice differently each day? Do my choices support the life I say I want to live? What would it look like to take full responsibility for my health and well being starting today?

Barney was about love. It was always about love.” This Earth Xperience features David Joyner, actor, tantric practitioner, and the original performer inside the Barney costume on the globally recognized children’s television show Barney & Friends. David Joyner portrayed Barney the Dinosaur from 1991 to 2001, bringing physical life to one of the most recognizable characters in children’s television history. While Bob West provided the voice, Joyner embodied the movement, energy, and presence behind the purple character seen by millions of children worldwide. Before stepping into the role, Joyner studied theater at Texas A&M University and later became a certified tantric practitioner, a path that has shaped his understanding of energy, touch, healing, and human connection. In this episode, the conversation moves beyond nostalgia. David reflects on what it meant to physically carry a character built entirely around love, affirmation, and emotional safety. He explains how being inside the costume was both physically demanding and spiritually intentional. Every hug, every gesture, every movement had to communicate warmth and reassurance without facial expression. The conversation also explores the intersection between performance and presence. David shares how his training in tantra informed the way he understood energy exchange, particularly in a children’s environment where emotional safety matters deeply. Rather than separating his acting career from his spiritual path, he describes both as rooted in the same principle: conscious connection. The episode invites listeners to reconsider what it means to hold space for others. Whether through television, touch, teaching, or simply being present, David speaks about love not as a slogan but as a practiced discipline. He reflects on identity beyond a famous character and how public perception can both elevate and limit how people see you. Each Earth Xperience has its own fingerprint. The X represents the lived experience being explored. In this episode, the X is the experience of embodying a global icon of love while cultivating a personal philosophy rooted in presence, healing, and energetic awareness. Questions to explore What does it mean to embody love in a public role?How does performance shape identity?Can energy be felt through intention alone?What responsibility comes with influencing children at scale?Who are we beyond the roles the world remembers us for? About the guest David Joyner is an actor and certified tantric practitioner best known for physically portraying Barney the Dinosaur on Barney & Friends from 1991 to 2001. A graduate of Texas A&M University with a background in theater, Joyner later transitioned into holistic wellness and tantra education, focusing on energy work, breath, and conscious connection.

“Good is impacting other people's energetic field in a positive way.” This Earth Xperience features Luke Spurgeon, entrepreneur, life coach, and founder of the School of Life, in a conversation that moves from childhood trauma to self development, spirituality, entrepreneurship, psychedelics, near death experiences, and the question of what it actually means to be human. Luke shares openly about growing up in a chaotic and abusive household, witnessing violence, living in fight or flight, and carrying subconscious trauma into adulthood. Rather than identifying solely as a victim of those experiences, he explains how he began questioning his reactions, particularly his anger, and learned to alchemize that energy into discipline, fitness, business, and personal growth. He describes the turning point as shifting from reacting to life to intentionally acting within it. The conversation explores how exposure to books, external mentors, and self reflection helped him reframe his identity. Luke explains how he built his life mathematically by observing others who had the freedom he desired and reverse engineering their steps. From selling one to one coaching sessions for twenty pounds to building a paid community, he describes entrepreneurship as a long game of persistence, not talent. Spirituality is defined by Luke as awareness. Awareness of ego, energy, consciousness, and perception. He shares his experiences with LSD and what he describes as a near death experience while brushing his teeth, where his sense of identity dissolved into fear and then into acceptance and love. These moments reinforced his belief that reality is perception driven and that we are expressions of a larger source experiencing itself through human form. When asked about God, Luke offers a polarizing but honest view that everything is God experiencing itself from different observation points. He acknowledges the tension in that belief and respects that others may hold different frameworks. Love, to him, is acceptance. Romantic love is embracing both light and shadow in another person. Emotional love is full acceptance of everything without resistance. Throughout the episode, the recurring theme is awareness. Awareness of why you act. Awareness of what you want. Awareness that no one truly knows everything. Luke encourages listeners to stop arguing for certainty and instead ask themselves what they actually want from life. Each Earth Xperience has its own fingerprint. The X represents the lived experience being explored. In this episode, the X is the experience of turning trauma into momentum, dissolving identity through spiritual inquiry, and rebuilding a life through discipline and self awareness. Questions to explore What does it mean to alchemize trauma into growth?Is anger a weakness or unused energy?Can perception shape reality?What is good and evil if everything is perception?Is love acceptance or transformation?What happens when identity dissolves?Do we seek answers because we want truth or because we want certainty?

“If it’s not love, then I don’t want it.” This Earth Xperience features Caitlin Pyle, also known online as The Kate Awakening, in a wide ranging conversation about faith, consciousness, identity, love, mental health, and what it means to seek truth without fear. Caitlin shares her journey from growing up around Christianity to fully questioning and stepping away from religious doctrine. She reflects on the guilt, shame, and people pleasing that shaped her early faith experience, and how asking honest questions made her feel like an outsider long before she ever spoke out loud. Rather than rejecting spirituality altogether, she describes how her faith expanded once she stopped forcing belief systems that no longer made sense to her. The conversation explores her evolving view of Jesus, not as a figure to be worshiped or feared, but as a teacher, guide, and example of love, non resistance, and expanded consciousness. Caitlin explains why she believes fear based faith distorts love, and how ideas like blood sacrifice, transactional salvation, and shame centered theology conflict with her understanding of unconditional love. Mental health is discussed through lived experience rather than theory. Caitlin opens up about being hospitalized multiple times, navigating divorce, substance use, and how spiritual awakening can be misunderstood or mislabeled as illness. She reflects on how fear driven systems, both religious and medical, often prioritize control over curiosity, and how healing requires addressing emotional, physical, and spiritual health together. Relationships and marriage are revisited with honesty and compassion. Caitlin contrasts her first marriage, shaped by obligation and religious expectation, with her current engagement, rooted in self knowledge, resonance, and choice. Love is framed as acceptance, forgiveness, and self awareness rather than sacrifice or self abandonment. Throughout the episode, identity is a central thread. Caitlin speaks about how belief systems become identities, why questioning them feels threatening to others, and how truth often resonates in the body before it makes sense in language. The conversation invites listeners to consider whether their beliefs are chosen freely or inherited through fear. Each Earth Xperience has its own fingerprint. The X represents the lived experience being explored. In this episode, the X is the experience of deconstructing belief systems while remaining deeply spiritual, choosing love over fear, and learning through lived experience rather than doctrine. Questions to explore What happens when faith no longer makes sense but spirituality still matters? Is love compatible with fear based belief systems? How do identity and belief become intertwined? Can questioning faith be an act of integrity rather than rebellion? What does healing look like when emotional, physical, and spiritual health are connected? How do we know when a belief resonates versus when it is inherited?

“Either you stand for something or you fall for anything.” This Earth Xperience features Skyler, also known as @iamsoworthy42, whose recent appearance on Pop The Balloon (Find Love) with Arlette Amuli sparked wide conversation about dating, belief systems, masculinity, and what people are actually building their lives on. Rather than focusing on the show itself, this episode moves beneath the surface. Skyler reflects on how public dating conversations often reduce people to sound bites, preferences, or viral moments, while real life is shaped by values, accountability, faith, and lived experience. He shares how his beliefs were formed through family dynamics, marriage, divorce, fatherhood, and intentional spiritual searching rather than trends or online discourse. The conversation explores what it means to be a man who chooses structure in a culture that celebrates flexibility. Skyler speaks openly about faith beyond labels, love as action rather than feeling, and responsibility as something practiced daily, not performed publicly. Masculinity is discussed through protection, provision, emotional presence, and discipline, not dominance or image. Dating and relationships are examined through a values based lens. Skyler explains why attraction without alignment leads to confusion, and why shared beliefs matter more than chemistry. The episode also touches on how modern dating shows reflect cultural hunger for clarity while often skipping the deeper questions about identity, purpose, and accountability. Throughout the conversation, Skyler emphasizes that belief systems are not abstract ideas but foundations that shape decisions, relationships, and legacy. Whether discussing faith, love, or leadership, he returns to the idea that choosing what you stand on determines where your life goes. Each Earth Xperience has its own fingerprint. The X represents the lived experience being explored. In this episode, the X is the experience of a man navigating public curiosity after a dating show appearance while grounding his life in faith, responsibility, and intentional living. Questions to explore What are people really looking for when they watch dating shows? How do belief systems shape dating choices? What does masculinity look like beyond social media narratives? Is love built on chemistry or shared values? What does it mean to stand for something in modern culture? How to connect with the guest Skyler Instagram and TikTok @iamsoworthy42

“Sex doesn’t just affect your body. It affects your soul, your emotions, and how you attach.” This Earth Xperience centers on intimacy, soul ties, grief, womanhood, faith, and the often unspoken loss that follows emotional and physical connection. Shaniqua Rischer shares her perspective on how intimacy creates bonds that reach far beyond the physical and why the grief that follows separation is often misunderstood or minimized. The conversation explores how soul ties form through emotional and sexual connection and why detachment can feel like mourning something that was never fully realized. Shaniqua speaks honestly about longing, desire, and the grief of not receiving what was hoped for, especially for women navigating singleness, faith, and unmet expectations. Loss is framed not only as the absence of a person, but the absence of a future imagined. Faith is woven throughout the episode as a grounding lens rather than a set of rules. Shaniqua reflects on what God asks of women in seasons of waiting, restraint, and healing. She explains how obedience is often misunderstood as denial, when it can actually be protection and preparation. The discussion challenges the idea that intimacy without commitment is harmless, highlighting how spiritual, emotional, and psychological bonds can linger long after physical connection ends. The episode also addresses the pressure women carry to suppress grief related to intimacy. Shaniqua speaks about how society often validates heartbreak only when it fits a visible relationship, leaving women to privately grieve connections that were real but undefined. Healing begins when grief is acknowledged rather than spiritualized away or dismissed. Throughout the conversation, womanhood is treated with dignity and honesty. Desire is not framed as weakness, and grief is not framed as failure. Instead, the episode invites women to understand their hearts, bodies, and attachments without shame, and to allow faith to guide healing rather than silence it. Each Earth Xperience carries its own fingerprint. In this episode, the X is the experience of being a woman learning how intimacy shapes attachment, grief, and faith, and how healing begins when truth is named. Questions to explore How do soul ties form emotionally and spiritually? Why does intimacy create grief even without a relationship? What does God ask of women in seasons of desire and waiting? How do you grieve a future that never happened? What does healing look like after emotional and physical attachment?

“Love is an energy that will not die.” This Earth Xperience explores faith, suffering, womanhood, love, sexuality, grief, purpose, and what it means to live a full and honest human life. Shaniqua Risher shares her journey as a woman of faith who holds joy and pain at the same time, without reducing either. The conversation begins with how Shaniqua defines herself as a daughter of God and why suffering has never cancelled her belief that she is blessed. She reflects on grief, affliction, and hardship as part of the human experience rather than proof of spiritual failure. Drawing from scripture, education, and lived experience, she explains the difference between God’s perfect will and permissive will, and why pain is not exclusive to Christianity but to being human. Faith is explored with honesty and nuance. Shaniqua shares that confidence in God did not come instantly, but was built through lived experiences, doubt, growth, and returning to the Word. She speaks about the inner battle between faith and self doubt, and how learning to speak back to herself became part of spiritual maturity. The episode moves into calling, ministry, and identity. Shaniqua shares her personal encounter with Christ, her delayed acceptance of ministry, and the freedom she found in allowing her calling to unfold without abandoning her personality, joy, or humanity. She reflects on being a woman in ministry without shrinking herself to fit expectations, and why she has never accepted limits placed on her voice because of gender. Sex, intimacy, and soul ties are discussed through both faith and mental health lenses. Shaniqua explains how emotional and spiritual attachments form through intimacy, why sex is sacred, and how repeated emotional connections can create bonds that are difficult to break. She connects attachment styles, intimacy, and spiritual responsibility, emphasizing grace without ignoring consequence. The conversation also addresses grief and unfulfilled desires. Shaniqua speaks openly about grieving motherhood, fertility, health decisions, and the life she once imagined. She shares how peace came not from getting everything she wanted, but from learning to value what she already had. Marriage, children, and traditional roles are discussed with compassion and realism, challenging the idea that a woman’s worth is tied to her womb or marital status. Gender roles, modern dating tension, and spiritual warfare are explored candidly. Shaniqua reflects on how societal constructs, church traditions, and cultural narratives have pitted men and women against each other. She calls for deeper self reflection on both sides, grounded in faith, accountability, and understanding rather than resentment. The episode closes with a reflection on humanity itself. When asked what makes a human, Shaniqua answers simply and powerfully. Love. Love that outlives death, love that carries memory, love that exists in care, devotion, and connection beyond words. Each Earth Xperience carries its own fingerprint. In this episode, the X is the experience of holding faith, grief, desire, discipline, and joy together without denying any part of the human story. Questions to explore Is suffering a spiritual punishment or a human reality? How do faith and doubt coexist in a healthy spiritual life? What does it mean to grieve a life you imagined but did not live? How do soul ties form emotionally and spiritually? Is a woman’s worth shaped by marriage and motherhood or by identity in God? What happens when love becomes the lens for understanding humanity?

“A couple of days after I went to the psychic, there was just this darkness over me. It felt like a cloud.” This Earth Xperience centers on Nia’s reflection about a season when she sought clarity through a psychic and what she learned after stepping away from that experience. Nia shares how disappointment, waiting, and unanswered prayers led her to look for certainty outside of God. The psychic reading initially felt affirming, offering timelines and direction that made her feel hopeful and motivated. What followed, however, was unexpected. Instead of peace, she began to feel emotional heaviness, disconnection, and a loss of joy. She describes putting on a happy face around others while internally feeling empty and unsettled. The conversation explores how spiritual curiosity can quietly shift into reliance. Nia reflects on how tools meant to provide insight started shaping her identity, expectations, and how she interpreted relationships and decisions. What stood out most was how her body responded. Exhaustion, anxiety, and emotional heaviness became signals that something was no longer aligned. Rather than rejecting spirituality altogether, Nia speaks about discernment. She shares how stepping away helped her recognize the difference between temporary reassurance and lasting peace. The episode invites listeners to examine where they turn when clarity feels delayed and what it costs when certainty replaces trust. Each Earth Xperience focuses on a real moment of learning from lived experience. In this episode, the focus is understanding how a psychic experience affected Nia emotionally and spiritually, and why she chose to step away in order to restore peace and clarity. Questions to exploreWhat were you hoping the psychic would give you?How do you know when intuition stops feeling peaceful?What signals does your body give when something is not aligned?Where do you turn when clarity feels delayed?What is the difference between reassurance and trust?

“Humanity is not just good or evil. It’s joy, love, anger, grief, fun, crying, healing. It’s the entire experience.” This Earth Xperience explores authenticity, healing, creativity, love, family dynamics, belief systems, and what it means to reclaim yourself after losing touch with who you are. Hadadine Hardin shares her lived experience as an artist, a daughter, and a woman navigating the long impact of parental abuse, emotional manipulation, and unmet needs through her platform Daddy Recovery. The conversation centers on how childhood relationships shape identity, dating choices, creativity, financial decisions, and self worth. Hadadine reflects on growing up with a father who caused harm without accountability and a mother whose unhealed pain blurred the lines between compassion and responsibility. She explores the complexity of loving people who hurt you, and how empathy can quietly turn into self abandonment. Art and creativity emerge as essential tools for healing rather than performance. Hadadine shares how singing, writing, acting, and speaking publicly became ways to regain visibility to herself after years of feeling invisible. The episode examines how creative suppression often mirrors emotional suppression, and how reclaiming expression is tied to reclaiming agency. The discussion also moves through loneliness, friendship, and love. Hadadine speaks honestly about the painful in between seasons of healing, when old relationships fall away and new ones have not yet formed. She describes the courage it takes to sit with loneliness instead of returning to familiar harm, and how learning to act for yourself requires rest, imperfection, and patience. Spirituality and belief systems are explored with nuance. Raised between Christianity and Santeria, Hadadine reflects on astrology, intuition, and faith as tools that can support growth but cannot replace personal responsibility. Healing, she explains, ultimately requires balance between spiritual insight and embodied, practical living. This Earth Xperience also addresses ambition and self belief. Hadadine speaks about perfectionism, fear of visibility, and the slow shift from being safe to be herself to learning how to own herself publicly. Growth is framed as ongoing, imperfect, and deeply human. Each Earth Xperience has its own fingerprint. The X in Earth Xperiences represents the specific experience of being human in this body, with this history, in this season. In this episode, the X is the experience of recovering identity, creativity, and humanity through honesty and self trust. Questions to explore What happens when empathy turns into self abandonment?

“Your brain isn’t broken. It’s repeating what it’s been taught to protect you.” This Earth Xperience explores how anxiety, grief, belief systems, and the body interact, and what healing looks like when we stop fighting our internal experiences and start working with them. Marlin Bonds shares how his work emerged from lived experience rather than theory. The conversation centers on how anxiety, panic, and emotional distress are not personal failures, but learned patterns reinforced by the brain through repetition. Fear is reframed not as something to eliminate, but as information the nervous system is responding to, sometimes too well. The discussion moves through how grief imprints the brain and how repeated thoughts and emotional responses create loops that shape behavior, anticipation, and panic. Marlin explains that the brain’s job is protection, not peace, and when belief systems reinforce fear, the body follows. Healing begins when awareness interrupts these loops and repetition is used intentionally to retrain emotional responses. Faith and belief systems are explored as lived frameworks rather than abstract ideas. The episode reflects on how beliefs influence how the brain interprets uncertainty, loss, and purpose. Science and spirituality are not positioned as opposites, but as complementary ways of understanding how humans regulate fear, trust, and resilience. The conversation also touches on purpose and creation. Marlin shares how his work with Hypno Loops was built by listening to patterns in himself and others, then creating tools that support long term nervous system regulation. Healing is presented as a process of consistency, patience, and compassion rather than a single breakthrough moment. Throughout the episode, authenticity remains central. Anxiety and grief are not treated as flaws to hide, but as signals to understand. The body is included in the healing process, not bypassed. The episode invites listeners to reconsider their relationship with their thoughts, emotional responses, and internal narratives. Each Earth Xperience has its own fingerprint. The X in Earth Xperiences represents the unique experience of being human in this body, with this brain, in this season of life. In this episode, the X is the experience of learning how to work with the mind and body instead of against them, with hookmantv. Questions to explore Can anxiety and grief be retrained rather than eliminated? What role do belief systems play in how the brain responds to fear? How does repetition shape emotional patterns over time? What happens when we stop fighting the body and start listening to it? Can authenticity support healing more effectively than suppression? How do faith and neuroscience intersect in lived experience?

“Love and marriage is not about perfection. It’s about participation and waking up every day and saying that I still choose you.” This Earth Xperience explores how identity is navigated across changing seasons of life, including marriage, friendships, success, faith, the body, and personal growth. Dr. ShantaQuilette reflects on how people often expect consistency in areas of life that are designed to evolve, and why knowing who you are matters more than keeping everything the same. The conversation moves through marriage as an ongoing decision rather than a fixed achievement. Dr. ShantaQuilette speaks about choosing a partner daily, not because things stay easy, but because commitment requires presence, communication, and participation. Love matures when expectations of perfection fall away and responsibility takes its place. Friendships and success are examined through the lens of growth. She discusses how success can quietly shift relationships, expose insecurity, and require boundaries that feel uncomfortable but necessary. Some relationships change not because of conflict, but because seasons change and alignment shifts. Faith is explored as a relationship rather than a transaction. Dr. ShantaQuilette speaks about discernment, obedience, and trusting what God reveals even when the full picture is unclear. Growth, she explains, often requires movement before certainty. The body enters the conversation as part of this larger navigation. While her body has changed over time, her identity has remained consistent. She reflects on how society responds differently to bodies, and why those reactions do not define worth. Caring for the body becomes stewardship rooted in respect rather than shame. Each Earth Xperience has its own fingerprint, shaped by lived experience. The X represents whatever is explored together.

"I learned that life is not about me, my success, or my wins. It is about service." James Harris Jr., MD This Earth Xperience explores faith, survival, purpose, and the long road from fear to service. James Harris Jr., MD shares his story of growing up in poverty, being raised by his grandmother in a dangerous environment, and navigating fear in a home that never felt safe. He speaks openly about childhood trauma, gang involvement, and the mindset of survival that shaped his early decisions. James reflects on the near death experience in college that forced him to confront his past and the weight of choices he had never repented from. That moment, paired with a campus Bible study, became the turning point that shifted his direction. He explains how fear once drove his behavior and how faith later gave him clarity, responsibility, and purpose. The conversation moves through marriage, long suffering, and love shaped by sacrifice. James shares the realities of becoming a teenage father, staying married for over three decades, and walking through tragedy as a family. He speaks in detail about his son Marcus’s life altering accident, the pressure of being both surgeon and father, and the grief he buried in order to survive. He reflects on how faith sustained him when logic, control, and professional skill were no longer enough. James also shares how service reshaped his understanding of love, from caring for patients to serving refugee communities abroad. He challenges the idea that happiness comes from possessions or achievement and instead points to joy rooted in purpose, faith, and compassion. His story reframes success as obedience, humility, and the willingness to help others even when life feels unfair. Each Earth Xperience has its own fingerprint, shaped by the life of the guest. The X represents whatever we explore together. In this episode, the X is an Experience with James Harris Jr., MD, a general surgeon at Johns Hopkins, associate professor of surgery, residency program leader, husband, father, and man of faith. He is currently working on a memoir that explores identity, resilience, and what truly makes a human. You can learn more about his story and read sample chapters of his memoir at jamesharrisjrmd.com.
