Sue Elliott

Sue Elliott used to be a pretty “normal” person. She was a successful magazine editor and writer. For 30+ years, she specialized in creating brand-new automotive-enthusiast and chef-recipe food magazines. Then she launched her “baby”: a personal-transformation magazine called Law of Attraction that was sold on newsstands nationwide.

In the midst of all that — about 20 years ago — Sue began hearing messages from the Angels. Not long after that, the Angels started training her to coach people in a unique way: by allowing the Angels to ask questions and provide guidance through Sue.

For the last two decades, Sue served as a successful and beloved Angel Coach. But recently, the Angels guided her to stop doing private coaching. Instead, they told her to make their most potent messages accessible to far more people through a book called My Angel Coach: Receive Your Divine Guidance & Feel the Angels’ Love, which contains 63 messages to support and uplift people.

Sue says, “This book is like having your own personal Angel Coach available anytime, day or night … at a fraction of the cost of private coaching.”

The book makes it easy to open up your intuition, learn how to ask the Angels for help, and awaken to the truth of your own power. With the Angels’ love and support, you’ll move from resistance, worry and anxiety to more calm, clarity and flourishing.

My Angel Coach is filled with super-simple practices and fun, memorable stories that illustrate the life-changing power of the Angels’ wisdom. But unlike most self-help books, with My Angel Coach, you don’t have to do all the work yourself. Each chapter in My Angel Coach begins with a colorful “Angel Attunement,” which Sue and the Angels have energetically attuned to dissolve limiting beliefs, subconscious programming, and other “gunk” for you … effortlessly.

Once the gunk is gone, you’ve been restored to your “original factory settings”: as a magnificently unique being who’s fully present in the moment, receiving your Divine guidance, and experiencing ease, grace, and flow. As Sue says, “This book is less about learning … and more remembering and returning to the Truth of Who You Are.”

Sue and the Angels have filled My Angel Coach with Divine Unconditional Love: both the Love that the Angels feel for you and the Love and compassion that the Angels help you feel toward yourself. In fact, an entire section of the book is devoted to helping you Love Your Emotions, rather than fighting them, denying them, or getting stuck in them. The book shows you how to value each emotion as a messenger: an aspect of you that’s crying out for your Love.

Of course, you can read My Angel Coach all the way through, like a regular book. You also can treat each chapter like a daily practice. Or you can ask a question and let the book open to a “random” page to receive your answer from the Angels (like an angel card reading in book form).

Sue adds, “The Angels are always with you, ready to comfort, inspire, and uplift you. And we’ve co-created this book to embrace you … like getting a huge Angel hug!”

Sue Elliott is an ancient soul who’s here to help humanity rise up into a higher level of consciousness based in Divine Unconditional Love. Through her decades of work as a coach, writer, and speaker, Sue has already helped millions of people heal old patterns, connect with Divine guidance, and live with greater ease, joy, and peace.

While Sue has always been highly sensitive, she led a pretty “normal” life before she started receiving messages from the Angels. For 30+ years, Sue was a magazine editor and writer. She specialized in creating brand-new automotive enthusiast magazines and chef-recipe food magazines, before launching a personal transformation magazine that was sold on newsstands nationwide.

Along her (non-linear!) journey, Sue also has owned a couple marketing agencies, served as a spokesperson for the automotive aftermarket, ghost-written two books for actor/environmentalist Ed Begley Jr., and held leadership roles at health technology and education technology startups.

All of that experience has enabled Sue to help countless people, as they release limiting beliefs, trust their intuition, and feel the profound support that’s always available from the Angels and the Divine.

Dr Jonathan Kanevsky

Have you noticed it too? Everywhere you look, from celebrities to influencers to your own friends, women are removing their implants and talking about symptoms no one warned them about.

This is exactly why I want to put forward Dr. Jon Kanevsky as a guest on your pod. He is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Los Angeles, a data scientist, a founder in the medical AI space, and he also advises on surgical robotics.

Women travel from around the world to work with him because he treats more than the procedure. He helps patients understand what is happening in their bodies and guides them back to real health.

Topics he’s great for:

Why so many women are choosing to remove their implants this year and what’s driving the shift toward more natural, health-focused reconstruction. How TikTok and Instagram filters are reshaping self-image and fueling a new wave of cosmetic procedures for younger and younger patients. A clear look at how the medical world missed (or ignored) the early warning signs of Breast Implant Illness. What AI, robotics, and augmented reality are actually doing in operating rooms today, and what remains pure science fiction.

Here is his media kit for more info: https://mediakit.heartcastmedia.com/dr-jonathan-kanevsky

If you would like to bring him on, I would be happy to coordinate scheduling.

Dr. Jonathan Kanevsky, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Los Angeles, is internationally recognized for natural breast reconstruction using advanced autologous fat grafting, en-bloc/total-capsule explant surgery, and holistic treatment of Breast Implant Illness (BII). Patients seek him globally for his microsurgical precision, implant-free results, and his unique philosophy: Surgery as Ceremony. This approach treats each procedure as a profound rite of passage, integrating metabolic optimization, lymphatic health, nervous-system regulation, detoxification, and psychological reclamation. He is a trusted voice guiding women through implant-related illness to authentic, vibrant embodiment.

Dr. Kanevsky is also a data scientist, serial founder, and high-level advisor in medical AI and surgical robotics. He co-founds and scales venture-backed companies developing AI-driven preoperative planning platforms, computer-vision systems for the operating room, and augmented-reality patient education tools.

He consults for leading surgical robotics firms, serves as an expert advisor to Neuralink on neural-interface applications in reconstructive surgery (including potential sensation restoration after mastectomy), and has collaborated with Google's moonshot teams (Verily and DeepMind) on the ethics and clinical integration of AI in medicine.

Monica Hopkins
We’d love to have Monica Hopkins, Executive Director of the ACLU-DC, join your show for a critical conversation ahead of the 2026 election. 
 
With the Trump administration’s deployment of the National Guard and move to federalize the D.C. Police, Monica is a leading authority to discuss how this move strips local leaders of their authority and puts residents and visitors at risk.
 
And here’s the thing: What happens in D.C. today is often a preview of what states like Michigan, New Hampshire, Illinois, and North Carolina could face tomorrow.
 
Monica can break down the following on your show:
How what’s happening in D.C. could become the playbook for the rest of the country Why federal interference in D.C. should worry anyone who cares about local control What voters actually need to watch for in the 2026 election before these tactics spread How D.C. is being used to test policies that impact immigrant rights, LGBTQ protections, and criminal justice and why that matters for every state
 
Here’s her media kit for more context: https://www.heartcastmedia.com/monica-hopkins/

What do you think? Can we make this happen?

Monica Hopkins has served as the executive director of the ACLU of the District of Columbia (ACLU-DC) since 2014, where she oversees critical advocacy efforts defending constitutional rights for over 700,000 District residents. As the organization's principal spokesperson, she has become a trusted voice in national conversations on civil liberties, frequently featured in major media outlets including the Washington Post, the New York Times, NPR, and Politico.

Before leading the ACLU-DC, Monica directed the ACLU of Idaho from 2008 to 2014, where she championed transformative statewide victories in criminal justice reform, LGBTQIA equality, immigrants' rights, and First Amendment protections. Her extensive nonprofit leadership background positions her uniquely to address today's most pressing civil rights challenges.

A graduate of Boise State University and 2012–2013 Rockwood Institute LGBT Advocacy Fellow, Monica also serves on the board of the National Reentry Network for Returning Citizens, demonstrating her commitment to justice beyond her executive role.

Zahra Amanpour
Given the rapidly unfolding situation in Iran, I wanted to share a guest that feels especially timely for your audience.
 
In the last few days alone, BBC, CNN, and ABC News have reported widespread protests across Iran, violent clashes between demonstrators and security forces, mass arrests, internet blackouts, and a rising death toll. 
 
Yes, those headlines point to a critical moment. BUT they don’t explain what’s actually happening beneath the surface.
 
Meet Zahra Amanpour. Born during the 1979 Iranian Revolution and raised in a resistance camp, Zahra is the daughter of a political prisoner killed in the 1988 massacre. Today, she is a leading voice of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and a board member of the Women's Freedom Forum.
 
On your podcast, Zahra can unpack: 
What life under crackdown really looks like, why protests continue despite lethal risk and what this reveals about the regime’s weakening grip. How Iran’s current repression follows a long pattern of terror, echoing the 1988 massacre and enabled by international silence. How the regime uses internet shutdowns, surveillance, and disinformation to control dissent in the modern authoritarian era.
Here’s her media kit for deeper context: https://www.heartcastmedia.com/zahra-amanpour/
 
If this sparks curiosity, I’d love to coordinate a conversation.

Zahra Amanpour is a lifelong human rights advocate and a proud supporter of the Iranian Resistance movement. Born during the 1979 Iranian Revolution in Tehran, Zahra's life has been defined by the struggle for freedom and justice. Her father, a prominent advocate with the MEK/PMOI, was killed in 1988—a summer marked by the mass killing of 30,000 political prisoners following the end of the Iran-Iraq war.

Raised by her mother within the Iranian Resistance community, Zahra grew up surrounded by the courage, clarity, and conviction of those who refused to be silenced. She draws deep inspiration from the many women who have led the movement for a free, secular, and democratic Iran.

As a Board Member of the Women's Freedom Forum, Zahra works to amplify the voices of women fighting for their rights under repressive regimes and to shine a global light on their stories of resistance. Her work bridges continents, connecting the struggle for human rights in Iran with economic empowerment initiatives in the United States.

Wordless Connection: Deepen Intimacy Without Saying a Word Even if You are Married

By Rob Thomas

When Words Only Get in the Way….

A Guide to Rekindling and Sustaining Love by Bypassing the Critical Mind Wordless acts delighting your partner by conveying the love in your heart For Valentine’s Day or Beyond…

Rob Thomas was at his wit’s end. It seems everything he said to his beloved wife to draw her closer just ended in disaster and disappointment. He saw this incredible woman pulling away and nearly every word that came out of his mouth made it worse.

And then he reflected on the first moment when they truly connected while in college. She playfully bet him a dollar that she could kiss him without touching him. He took the bait. And then she leaned over and kissed him in a way he would not forget! She then pulled a dollar from her pocket and said, “I guess I lost.”

It was the kiss that changed everything. So, Rob began to explore what might happen if he STOPPED TALKING and began a gentle campaign of nonverbal communication. Reaching her in ways that conveyed his love without the misunderstandings or missteps that words risked. 

You’ll discover the incredible results in his new book Wordless Connection: Deepen Intimacy Without Saying a World Even if You are Married. Doing frequent nonverbal acts of love, it healed and transformed his near-on-the-rocks marriage into something solid, deeply connected and satisfying for both of them. 

And not just for Rob and his wife! Rob then conducted experiments across the country with couples from all walks of life. And the results were consistent. A global business consultant, he also incorporated what he was learning into his work with executives and company employees.

Make no mistake, the book is not about sexual intimacy, although that may be the outcome. It’s about the connection between couples that deepens their love and facilitates openness, vulnerability and trust. Whether it’s a long-married couple with work and kids that have distracted from the relationship and lost the romance, to a young duo who are still trying to understand each other, Wordless Connection provides the tools that eliminate the dissonance and create alignment.

Rob provides specific directions on how to enhance the feelings communicated in massage, hugs, kisses, handholding, eye contact, winking, smiling, grooming, arm around the shoulder and managing personal space. –Yes, there is a right and a wrong way—if the intention is to deepen connection!

Rob specifically zeros in on five categories that have the most impact—holding hands, hugs and kisses, notes of care, unexpected acts of service and massage. Intention, duration and frequency are specified because this guidance is not a one-time fix…it’s about building a lifelong bridge directly into someone’s heart. These acts are designed to transform the giver from an “agenda” which is all about what you are getting,, to focus on your partner’s needs and wants and the essence of the pairing as a whole He says, ”Our relationships are like a garden and our actions with our significant other are how we tend that garden.”

Rob touches on the science that supports many of the methods he proposes; he offers examples and testimonials by others of the impact implementation had in their lives, and, most of all -- you root for Rob, as you are along for ride as he tests his theories, healing and enriching the relationship with his wife.

Rob also offers insight into: 

• The challenge of resisting the urge to speak

• How to introduce Wordless Connection without arousing suspicion

• Filing our Love Power Bank so we can convey the love we feel

• The significance of Moral Beauty

Rob Thomas has spent the last 20 years helping big companies get unstuck. He sits down with teams, listens hard, asks the right questions, and turns fuzzy goals into clear, doable plans. And that’s exactly what he has applied to Wordless Connection to find simple—but doable—solutions to rekindling, heightening and sustaining love.

Says Rob: “Our bodies are built for this type of wordless interaction. All couples want connection, not just conversation.”

Rob Thomas has spent the last 20 years helping big companies get unstuck. He sits down with teams, listens hard, asks the right questions, and turns fuzzy goals into clear, doable plans. From automotive giants to banks, energy firms to tech startups, he’s worked all over the world figuring out what people really need and how to make it happen—faster, simpler, and with less drama.

Along the way he’s coached executives one-on-one, guiding them through the toughest decisions while keeping the human side front and center. Whether he’s designing systems that save millions or smoothing supply chains so nothing falls apart, Rob’s gift is making complicated things feel straightforward.

That same clarity and care shows up when he works with individuals. He has a knack for cutting through noise, spotting what actually matters, and helping people move forward—skills that translate beautifully to the everyday stuff that trips couples up.

These days, when he’s not untangling corporate puzzles or exploring the mountains on skis, Rob is happiest at home with his wife and kids, reading a good book, or quietly testing the ideas that became Wordless Connection.

A Guide to Rekindling and Sustaining Love by Bypassing the Critical Mind
Marcia Earhart

Life is made up of countless facets—joy and sorrow, hope and heartbreak, clarity and confusion. Yet, in the middle of navigating life’s complexities, many people never have the space, tools, or support to truly process what they are facing in healthy ways. Instead, pain gets buried, stress accumulates, and survival replaces living.

Breathe again, Move again, and Live again can be the safe landing to enter the space and glean practical, healthy tools that foster healing and growth. Many are ill-equipped, and crisis rarely waits until we feel ready. When challenges hit in real time, people need real solutions—not platitudes, not pressure and not perfection, but guidance that meets them exactly where they are.

Like "Dear Abby," I am the one someone can call or send a message. I work with individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted—those who are navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, loss, or major life transitions. Together, we slow down what feels chaotic, identify what is actually happening beneath the surface, and create space for understanding and clarity. Healing doesn’t mean erasing the past; it means learning how to move forward without being controlled by it.

What sets my approach apart is its practicality and immediacy. We don’t just talk about change—we put real-time solutions in place for real-time crises. These are tools that can be used in the middle of emotional overload, panic, decision fatigue, or moments when breathing feels difficult and hope feels distant. Having someone who can offer guidance helps encourage steps to interrupt cycles of overwhelm and create momentum toward stability and peace.

The goal is simple but profound: to help people breathe again, move again, and live again.

Breathing again means finding calm in the chaos and learning how to regulate emotions when life feels unmanageable. Moving again means regaining confidence, purpose, and the ability to take the next right step—even if that step is small. Living again means reconnecting with joy, meaning, and the truth that life still holds value and possibility beyond pain.

Everyone deserves support that is compassionate, practical, and empowering. Everyone deserves tools that don’t just help them survive a moment but equip them to face the next one with greater strength and clarity. My work is about walking alongside people, offering insight, encouragement, and tangible strategies that help them rediscover their capacity to heal and thrive.

Life may be complex, but healing doesn’t have to be out of reach. With the right support, it is possible to move from merely enduring life to engaging it fully—one breath, one step, and one moment at a time.

Marcia Earhart is a certified life, trauma, grief, brain, and mental health coach, mediator, author, and HeartSync minister. Her guidance is both professional and personal. Having navigated the deaths of two sons within the last eleven years—one tragically murdered—she stands as a testament to God's faithfulness in the deepest valleys of grief, and now leads others in healing.

Her powerful new book, "Gripping Grace in the Garden of Grief," is a raw and vulnerable chronicle of devastating loss. More than a memoir, it is a lifeline, exploring the fragile threads of love and pain that hold us together and revealing the God-given hope that can rebuild a shattered life.

Marcia’s mission extends beyond the page. As the co-founder of The Sterling Rose Sanctuary, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, she is boots-on-the-ground in the mental health crisis. She creates a safe, haven for the grieving to release their trauma and pain so they can Breathe again, Move again, and Live again. Her ministry reaches a diverse community across the United States and six other countries, standing as a powerful reminder that in deep sorrow, no one has to walk alone.

Marcia has been married to her best friend, Scott, for thirty-five years, and together they homeschooled and enjoyed raising their four boys and daughter. Marcia, Scott, and two of their adult children, who live nearby, love spending time together—whether it's making memories at the beach, traveling, playing games, having deep conversations, cooking, supporting their daughter’s comfort creature business, or listening to their son’s music on Apple and Spotify.

Gripping Grace in the Garden of Grief: A Place for the Heart is a deeply personal journey through love, loss, and the fragile threads that hold us together when life unravels.

A profound and full-bodied futuristic

story of love, technology, and infinite outer space." 
—Kirkus Reviews
"Clift merges the vastness of space with the intimate, harrowing struggles of motherhood,
probing the ethical limits of science and the steep cost of survival in his gripping sci-fi tale." 
—The Prairies Book Review
"Works toward a breathless conclusion... Born in Space is a lush science fiction allegory for the
strength of a mother's love and the unbreakable bonds of family.”
—Foreword Clarion Review 
The future of space could involve multi-species colonization wars, an evolved human species
born beyond Earth, encroaching AI, disruptive use of robots and techn9ology, and families
traveling galaxies. These are just some of the elements envisioned in a new science-fiction series
set just 40-80 years into the future, written by a former journalist of 20 years, Jermey Clift.
His books – Born in Space and Space Vault -- have been praised heavily for their mesmerizing
world-building, high-impact action, deep character development, philosophical explorations, and
most of all, a realistic portrayal of what life in space could look like from the detailed eye of a
reporter who has covered war zones, natural disasters, and economic crises. Clift has lived in
China, Egypt, Great Britain, India, France, Philippines, Washington DC, and elsewhere. From his
international experiences he was able to imagine universal struggles out in deep space.
In an interview, Clift is available to discuss the following:
 What next ye3ar’s planned Moon mission could actually be leading us.
 What life could be like for the first children (artificially conceived) born in space.
 Why he foresees an endangered Earth forcing humans to expand into space in search of
new resources and habitats.

 How he portrays families living in space.
 How his experience working at Reuter’s and the International Monetary Fund inspired
and shaped his books.
 The role of AI in space exploration.
 Why space colonization is coming but ethical dilemmas will persist.
 How he writes of the power of maternal love in the face of adversity.
 Why he explores themes of sacrifice, romance, and redemption against the backdrop of
interstellar politics and corporate greed.
 Why he writes strong female characters in a genre that’s historically male-dominated.
Clift’s series inserts a sense of realism in a speculative world, making his books both exciting
and believable. He sees science-fiction as not so much predicting the future, but as away to
launch into a discussion of the future and where we, as a nation and world, are heading. Society
and technology are both competing and co-operating to forge our future.

Jeremy Clift
Biography
Jeremy Clift is a science fiction author and former journalist. His first work of fiction, “Born in
Space” is part of his Sci-Fi Galaxy
series of novels built around the
growth of orbiting space habitats
and the exploitation of asteroids.
The sequel, "Space Vault: The Seed
Eclipse" was published in 2025.
“Born in Space” examines what life
might be like for the first children
born off Earth. “How would they
feel? Would they have a terrible
craving to return “home”? Or are
they really an extraterrestrial, a
space being? Still a humanoid but
having none of the experiences of
the Earth.” The subsequent book
examines identity in an age of
genetic engineering. Who owns
Life?
A fan of Adrian Tchaikovsky, Mary
Robinette Kowal, Cixin Liu, and
Andy Weir, he is keenly interested in how space exploration will change humanity over the next
200 years. Clift says that solving how babies get born in reduced or zero gravity is one of the key
issues for humanity if we want to populate space habitats and other planets. Most people will not
want to emigrate to Mars. But maybe robots will. And by then, they will probably be far more
intelligent than humans. “Maybe what will be “born” is some sort of hybrid that mixes the
emotions of humans with the resilience and sturdiness of artificial beings.”
A former non-fiction Publisher at an international organization, he is a communications
consultant and writing coach who has also worked in magazines and as an international news
correspondent for Reuters. A graduate of the London School of Economics and George
Washington University, he has lived in a variety of capitals and cities around the world, including
Beijing, Bombay, Cairo, New Delhi, Jakarta, London, Manila, Paris, and Washington DC.
He has published profiles and interviews with several leading economists, including Nobel Prize
winners Vernon Smith and Daniel Kahneman, as well as Olivier Blanchard, Avinash Dixit, Allan
Meltzer, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Mario Monti, Lucrezia Reichlin, and Hernando de Soto. He has
also edited collections of work on Health and Development and Financial Globalization, as well
as books on VAT, Big Government, Japan, Risk and Recessions. He resides in Charlotte, NC.

Richard Blake

I’m a psychologist and breathwork practitioner advocating for change in how we approach mental health treatment. My work focuses on the treatment prevalence paradox — why mental health outcomes continue to worsen despite more therapy, medication, and awareness than ever before.

For my PhD in psychology, I conducted the largest randomized controlled trial to date on Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB), examining its effects on anxiety. I bring a research-led but accessible perspective on what’s working, what isn’t, and how embodied approaches like breathwork may offer a missing piece in modern mental health care.

USA

Richard Blake is a psychologist, breathwork practitioner, and advocate for reform in modern mental health treatment. He began his career as a professional fitness model and gym owner, where his interest in performance, health, and the mind–body connection first took shape.

Seeking deeper clinical training, Richard entered postgraduate psychotherapy training in the UK, completing a Postgraduate Certificate in Psychotherapy. During his training, he became increasingly concerned by the limited real-world outcomes of traditional talk therapy, which led him to step away from licensure-focused pathways and pursue research instead.

Richard later moved from the UK to the United States, where he completed a PhD in Psychology and conducted the largest randomized controlled trial to date on Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB). His work now focuses on why mental health outcomes continue to worsen despite more treatment than ever, and how embodied, evidence-based approaches may offer a missing piece.
