Do you or someone you love suffer from emotional dysregulation? Do you feel things so deeply you almost get lost in these emotions? Do you suffer from anger and longing that threatens to burn you up from the inside with its heat? Do you often struggle with self-harm, substance abuse, self-hatred, interpersonal issues, and intense rage? Too Much and Not Enough, written by today's special guest, Tamra Sattler, Ph.D. is a therapeutic memoir and an explorative narrative about a particular type of personality structure known as Enneagram 4 and its borderline characteristics and emotional dis-regulation.

Dr. Sattler is a therapist, professor, and entrepreneur. She started her career in marketing and technology with managerial positions at companies like Salesforce, Excite and Monster.

A passionate advocate for neurodiverse students, particularly those with autistic spectrum perception and communication challenges, today's special guest, Jes Kerzen, found that wherever she worked, these were the children who so often appeared in her life and enriched it greatly. An encounter with one small boy, however, set her on a journey of discovery that would completely change her life's trajectory. Jes is the author of the  poignantly compelling spiritual memoir, A Mind Beyond Words, which is about the strong and unusual bond forged between schoolteacher Jes and a six-year-old autistic boy, Asher, whose arrival in her class changed the trajectories of both their lives. Their journey together, sometimes tragic, sometimes joyful, spans 25 years and leads them into an exploration of psychic and supernatural abilities.  From this child and his classmates, Jes learned that there were ways of communicating and perceiving she had never dreamed of. She has consequently spent many years researching telepathy, remote viewing and other psychic abilities, along with the spiritual insights they can sometimes lead to. Jes Kerzen, holds a postgraduate B Phil degree and has worked in a huge variety of roles in many educational settings, from specialist speech and language teacher to head of English, from running an alternative education hub of home educated children in a mediaeval abbey undercroft to working with a farmer and a life sized model calf, delivering workshops on social and emotional skills in rural primary schools in the west of England. Now retired and living in a 350 year old cottage in Somerset, England, Jes devotes much of her time to working with Asher, that very special former pupil, continuing to learn from him and writing about their work together.

A transformation in human consciousness is taking place. And it’s generating a growing interest in how subtle elements of the human constitution play a part in the maintenance of our health and wellbeing.  You Are a Frequency, a new book by today's special guest Debbie Anne Sellwood, introduces a new paradigm for health and healing based on the whole person, not the physical body on which traditional medicine focuses. You Are a Frequency explains that how we perceive and react to life events determine what experiences we attract into our lives, including health. Our reactions also impact the frequency of our vibrations, and by raising our vibrations, we become more empowered, able to take responsibility for ourselves. It is the author’s belief that understanding ourselves as energetic beings will ultimately inspire a future health paradigm and lead to the transformation of the medical system. Debbie Sellwood is a mature woman with a grown-up family. She practices as an Astrologer and has taught this subject. She is also a Flower Essence practitioner and has been a long-standing committee member of this association. Her interests are in wellbeing, natural healing and nature. For many years she has been a student of ancient wisdom teaching/ spiritual/metaphysical subjects and is a published author.

Today's special guest, Adam Finnegan, was in the 8th grade when he received a vaccine for HepB, which resulted in various neurological disorders he still suffers from today. Congressional hearings confirmed the vaccine was having adverse effects on children. He is also personally affected by Lyme disease and its co-infections. His personal experience resulted in a lifelong interest in the science behind the creation of antigens, or the toxins introduced by vaccines into one’s body to create an immune response.  He found that before the advent of DNA and mRNA technology, much of the discoveries about antigens were related to the creation of stealth biological weapons by the Nazis during World War II, and one scientist in particular, Erich Traub. Traub would eventually come under the auspices of the U.S. government because of his knowledge on viruses and bacterial diseases and become a pawn in the Cold War between the U.S. and Soviet Union in the weaponization of his research.  His book, The The Sleeper Agent, seeks to educate the public about the reality of bioengineering and its link to biological warfare conducted on unsuspecting populations in developing countries even today. Lyme disease and its co-infections, for insistence, actually can be linked to Traub’s research. On a larger scale, the author also links the creation of antigens used in a multitude of required vaccines as creating “immune exhaustion” in the body, thus leading to the onset of chronic illnesses such as cancer and various neurological problems. The Sleeper Agent uncovers many surprising secrets including how these same advances are unleashing unforeseen adverse health effects on unsuspecting populations, as well as giving rise to chronic diseases and death.
