EP 22 The Art of Evolving and Everything Else

Curious about Evolving? CJ and I were in a past life together. HA! In this realm, we were in our 30s when we first worked together. He is the only person from that era that I have remained in contact with. Why? Because he has evolved into a fascinating spiritual man, dad, artist, author, teacher and so much more! He refers to that as a merging of the selves and how creative intelligence must be present in our lives to create art and everything. Our conversation is centered on "The Art of..." and how mastery of any thing you do stops creativity. Listen now and please share.

After being raised Catholic, he left that faith and sought a more personal connection to a Greater Power (God). Chris has formulated a personal relationship with this Great Power based on the premise that God is in everything, and it's each person's task to seek God within and without through the Creative Process. He's written the book, "The Spiritual Artist," which guides readers into a more precise state of connection and produces a podcast by the same name in which he interviews artists and spiritual thought leaders. In addition, CJ holds yearly Spiritual Art Retreats where consciousness and art-making combine.

Spotify is calling the shots.

EP 20 Exploring the nature of hypnosis and menopause

Nature the drug of choice and more specifically a human’s nature. There is nothing more natural than what the hormone system of the body does, especially related to the hormonal changes during a woman’s 30-60s. But rather than relaxing into it most women resist and dread those years of menopause, aging, and all that goes with that. However, dreading and fearing only reinforce the neg effects as a self fulfilling prophecy especially when you add in the identification and association factors of what a woman’s mother and grandmother told her about Menopause. Listen to our conversation about MENOPAUSE AND HYPNOSIS with Dr Kate Naumes, ND. Dr. Naumes specializes in menstrual and hormone health for women, helping her clients live healthy, vibrant lives from preconception through menopausal stages. Her deep knowledge of the female hormonal journey enables her to create highly tailored and effective healthcare solutions that cater to her clients’ unique needs. She holds a Doctorate in Naturopathy and a BA in Biochemistry, among other certifications, and is a highly trusted naturopathic doctor with over 16 years of experience.
