Byte Sized Blessings ·

2024/01/20

This weeks episode comes with a TRIGGER warning dears, but also with an INSPIRATION warning! (Just in case your hearts are tender this week, I know mine is, so I urge my listeners to take care...). Dana is a beautiful example of what it looks like to survive and emerge triumphant on the other side of a childhood and marriage that were heartbreaking, to say the least. Talking with her was like talking with a dear friend, one who models compassion, love for the world and fierce determination all in

THERE IS NO BYTE SIZED EPISODE THIS WEEK BECAUSE I AM MAKING YOU ALL LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE!! (because I think we should all read the study that we talk about~recently released by the Fetzer Institute~you know what a taskmaster I am, but I guarantee the study is so super groovy you'll feel bad you missed out!) It's no secret that there's recently been a worldwide pandemic, and it was clear to me that people were suffering in so many different ways during it...loneliness, depression, the loss of

Emerald shares two stories in this episode, and both are powerful as heck! In this episode my beautiful guest shares: how a book can change one's life, how a stranger in the neighborhood can suddenly become a friend, how in the midst of a truly frightening episode, one is watched over and tended (by both humans and Spirit). She also shares what happened with the neighbor on the 21st floor, in the week before this neighbor's death...and the unexpected witnessing that happened! (hint: it's

I'm grateful to this incredible human for sharing her story, it's a very vulnerable one. It reminds me that even in the midst of uncertainty and

She tells a few miraculous stories, and ultimately they revolve around family, around knowing oneself, and listening to that still, small voice within that only wants the best for us!

Elizabeth has several stories to tell this week, and each are enchanting! This delightful author of several books has clearly been called from the start to a magical and delicious life! We talk how even the darkness has potentials in it (so perfect for the shortest day of the year on the 21st!!) and how going through a dark night of the soul can prepare one for the profoundest magic in one's life. Her stories of her childhood dreams had my jaw dropping with their very clear messages, but I don't

What does it mean to listen to your heart? Well, for starters, it might mean ending up in an incredible house on a peninsula in Bali! My guest, Layard, tells of listening and then following...and the gifts that come from that. We talk Trickster (again!), the Hero's Journey, and how our Hearts are really our most potent superpower! (Hint: they kinda know everything!!) Layard Thompson is currently writing a transformational novel with semi-autobiographical and sci-fi twists. He's a practicing

Sally is both captivating and intelligent, and both of these traits shine through as she regaled me with multiple stories of magic! Including: 1. How she learned that magic was a VERY REAL THING in the Amazon, 2. How Our Lady of Guadalupe is a very potent healing force, 3. And finally, that the Forest Trickster, Chullachaqui, is alive and well, and looking for those he can lead off into the jungle! I suspect Sally's superpower is her sense of humor, because one of her tales comes with a trigger

Junko lives to light people up...by encouraging them to mine not only their brilliance, but also their shadows! She grew up surrounded by Shintoism as well as Buddhism, and it's clear that both have left their mark on her. From a young age she was deeply immersed in the Japanese worldview of Shinto, and the spirits that came with it. Sensitive to the world around her, Junko soon understood that the entire world is one of magic, and one she wanted to experience to the fullest. Not only does she rock

This week it's all about the messages we get-whether from friends, from a strange green bottle in the ocean, OR? like my guest this week, in her dreams as well as in her ear! It is truly magical thinking about the lengths the Universe will go to to make sure that we are safe, and on our path! And Julia's story fits right in with this idea-that the Energy which surrounds us, the Spirit that moves us and hears us...that it all wants us to be the creative and beautiful change makers we are!

2023/11/05

Siena loves history, loves old buildings and has reverence for the past. BUT it was her experience at a seance in a basement, one that had ties to the Underground Railroad, that she talks about in this episode. Her tale is a spooky one and reminds me that boundaries are good, especially when it comes to those who are already dead. I don't want to give any spoilers, but let's just say that sometimes there is such a thing as a ghost with boundary issues. Her tale will delight, will enchant, and will

Stephen seems to have a special relationship with those things that go bump in the night...or send a chill up your spine. His three tales are all very different, but all especially spooky! My favorite tale of his involves hundreds of other witnesses...and a bottle of champagne... Stephen's life seems filled with the uncanny, and he handles it all with complete grace...because me?

Welcome to another spooky tale, my dear listeners! This week is all about New Orleans, and how truly haunted those houses are, down South! Holly and her husband weren't too concerned when her daughter suddenly had a best friend named Sam, except Sam didn't exist...or did he? When strange things started happening in the house, and Sam became more and more real as their daughter grew older, they realized that Sam was maybe a bit more "real" than they imagined. And then that other house, with those
