Ep #334 TO HELL AND BACK
Michelle Anna-Marie Santana,
Advocate For Children Who Survived Childhood Sexual Abuse.
Michelle is also changing the way adults are talking about this epidemic! "Until we can talk about it openly without embarrassment,
how can we expect our children to?"
The angel doll originated out of the process of healing from Michelle's childhood sexual abuse trauma. It is her desire to start a foundation to make and distribute the angel doll to girls who are victims of sexual abuse. The angel doll holds a heart that opens up and has the poem inside that reads Tell It All My Child. Michelle has an idea to design a lion name Aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis and she would like to get their permission to use the name Aslan as the lion that carries this same poem for boys who are victims of sexual abuse. Her dream is big and she knows she will need help.
Michelle's mission is to bring child sexual abuse into the light and out of the darkness. Through her books, she shows parents that sexual abuse should be reported and not hidden because of shame and embarrassment.
Show Topics:
1.) Childhood Sexual Abuse
2.) Trauma
3.) Psychology

Ep #333 The SMART Guys Way To Creating Our Realty
Anthony DeNino, Founder and President of CORe – Creating Our Reality Inc., Keynote Motivational Speaker, Workshop Trainer, and Consultant
As a motivational speaker, Anthony is often asked what turned him on to this type of work. His answer is that while he didn't have to overcome anything drastic in his life like others, i.e. living on the streets; overcoming an addiction; or a broken home, he is motivated to have a positive, lasting impact on people around the world. He accomplishes this through a lot of hard work, overcoming mistakes, and no longer being afraid. On the topic of giving and gratitude, he ultimately looked at his own life.
"I don't live in a mansion, don't have any fancy cars, and my bank account isn't overflowing."
And while Anthony is working to have more of those things, he really started appreciating the things that he does have in his life vs. things he does not. For example, he has his health, marriage, children, the love and support he receives from others, his friends, and so many other things. Ultimately, it turned his life around and led him to write his book, The Power of Giving and Gratitude.

Ep. #331 MIND HACKING
Ann Elizabeth Wagner, Motivational Speaker
Ann suffered a traumatic brain injury and went into a coma. During her recovery, her consciousness left her body (out of body experience). She experienced this spiritual "shift" and studied consciousness for the last six years, particularly as it relates to improving mental health. For about 4 decades, she had suffered from debilitating depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. After her stroke, she learned to re-train her brain with meditation and positive affirmations.
Ann pushes her audiences to think about mental health, specifically depression and anxiety, from a new perspective. She shares specific techniques to slow one’s thoughts and change the patterning of the brain. Using meditation, she teaches how to shift to a higher state of consciousness and determine one’s soul purpose.
Depression and anxiety can be situational or deep-seated. By aligning the physical, mental, and soul self, Ann shows how one can experience lasting mental health and true fulfillment.
Ann Wagner speaks at a variety of engagements including corporate events, mental health workshops, keynote conferences, spiritual retreats, and others.

1. Re-training the brain – from a scientific perspective and a practical perspective.

LEGENDARY VANILLA FUDGE DRUMMER
RE-RELEASES 'CARMINE APPICE'S GUITAR ZEUS'
FEATURING THE BEST & WORLD-RENOWNED GUITARISTS
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW!
As drummer for Vanilla Fudge, Carmine Appice set the grooves for the groundbreaking band's 1967 psychedelic debut, inadvertently inventing Stoner Rock in the process. The Fudge had no precedent. The band was totally unique. No rock group, up until that point, had ever so lugubriously s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d out well-known pop tunes. Vanilla Fudge went on to tour with Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and even had Led Zeppelin as an opening act.
Post-Fudge, Bogert and Appice formed Cactus (seen as an influence on Van Halen & King's X). Post-Cactus, the rhythm section found Grammy-winning Guitar Hero Jeff Beck to form the first supergroup: Beck, Bogert & Appice.
One of the premier showmen in rock, Appice became known worldwide for his astonishing live performances and a highly sought-after session drummer, recording with countless artists throughout his career. In 1976, he joined Rod Stewart’s band, touring, recording and writing two of Stewart’s biggest hits, "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" and "Young Turks.” He left Stewart to record his first solo album, Rockers, and tour Japan and North America with an all-star band. In 1978, Appice played drums on Paul Stanley’s first solo album.
In the early 1980s, he toured with Ozzy Osborne, Ted Nugent. In the mid '80s, he formed King Kobra for two Capitol albums and international touring. In the late ‘80s, Carmine played on Pink Floyd’s "Momentary Lapse of Reason and formed Blue Murder with Whitesnake's John Sykes and The Firm's Tony Franklin. In the early '90s, he pounded away soul-style for The Edgar Winter Group.
As an educator, Carmine was the first to legitimize rock drumming with his landmark book, The Realistic Rock Drum Method, selling over 400,000 copies (now in dvd and ebook format). He was the first Rock Drummer and Rock Musician to conduct instructional clinics and symposiums around the world, a tradition he continues. In appreciation for his universal appeal, Los Angeles was one of four cities that have had "Carmine Appice Day.” In 1991, he was forever immortalized via his induction in cement to the Hollywood's Rock Walk (next to his idols, Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich).
In 2016 Carmine wrote an autobiography titled “Stick It” which appeared on Amazon’s “Best Sellers” list.
As a true artist, Carmine stretches the limits of his talents, always pursuing new experiences with a broad spectrum of musicians. His high standards have earned him the respect of the world's most admired performers as well as captivating the loyalty of legions of fans. He has reshaped the path of music education, redesigned the very instrument he plays, and recreates excitement with every performance.
Carmine Appice is, truly, A Different Drummer!

Metaphysical Warrior and Walk In
Mitch Ehren Owens has walked many miles in this current incarnation. He spent 17 years in the US Military including Special Ops and during his service he was exposed to Agent Orange, Car Bombs, Lead Poisoning and More. After his military service ended he continued his 3D Warrior journey as part of Blackwater.
His entire life changed on December 18, 2015 at 3:15pm when a literal Lightning Bolt from Source struck his physical body while he standing in his driveway talking to his then wife. At that moment, Jeshua appeared to him and asked him if he was done with this incarnation. Knowing his work as a 1st Wave Volunteer was complete and wanting to leave Earth he said YES. At that moment, his current soul left this incarnation and was replaced by the Walk-In now known as EHREN.
What transpired is an epic story that is still unfolding. EHREN is a higher dimensional aspect of Mitch and also a Sacred Divine Twin of the woman Mitch would later meet in October 2018. This Walk-In is also a Warrior from the Angelic Realm carrying the frequencies of ArchAngel Raphael and ArchAngel Michael.
His integration of EHREN into this physical body led to miraculous healings (which he has medical proof of), a shedding of 60 pounds without effort and an embodying of many spiritual gifts including Lemurian Crystal healing, Chakra/Tuning Fork Healing, Orb communication, Star Grid and Earth Grid Activation and much, much more.
Mitch Ehren is passionate about sharing his knowledge of the power of self-healing as well as his understanding of the truth of the Awakening process.
