Guest Biography:

My guest, Georgia Jean had a “knock you to the floor” spiritual event in 2004 where she connected with The Circle of Light, a non-physical collective supporting humanity through the evolutionary shift. She spontaneously developed the ability to channel them verbally and transmit their frequencies energetically. Since then, through thousands and thousands of transmissions, they have shared one of the most comprehensive overviews of how the Matrix of reality is created. And most importantly, how we can generate radical shifts to assist both personal and collective evolution. Assisting humanity to move from a 3D to 5D reality is their specialty. Georgia and the Circle of Light are Amazon bestselling authors, and have been featured on Gaia TV. You can catch the full story of her spiritual event on the podcast “Coming Out of the Cosmic Closet” and explore the broad depth of the Circle of Light’s wisdom through the new podcast Spread Your Third Eye with Mia Reitz, and through the Circle Evolution University.

Guest Biography:

Dana Croschere is an award-winning filmmaker and passionate storyteller whose newest documentary, Rescued Hearts, is a dream that has been years in the making. After spending over 15 years volunteering at horse ranches and witnessing the extraordinary healing power of the horse-human connection, Dana knew she was meant to tell this story. 

The inspiration for her film-making journey came from one of the most challenging seasons of her life. Following two failed spine surgeries and a long battle with chronic pain, Dana embarked on a deeply personal path of self-discovery and healing—an experience that birthed her first film, LOVE HEALS, which has since touched countless lives around the world.

Dana and her partner Krisanna are devoted to making films that spread love, hope, and healing. With Rescued Hearts, they are capturing the magic, mystery, and science of healing with horses—and inviting audiences to witness the profound ways horses can help us open our hearts and connect more deeply with our authentic selves.
