NEW PARADIGMS FOR A NEW WORLD...
To bring as many different points of view, from around the circle, into your view, to assist you in expanding your life and living. To assist in the positive evolution of mankind and bringing about a greater awareness of self and others in order to create the kind of world YOU want. A world in which we all can search for, find and fulfill our 'first best destiny'.
GIVING YOU CHOICES AND KNOWLEDGE OF THOSE CHOICES TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE...
You deserve to know 'the truth' about who you are, because that 'truth will set you free'. Knowing your past is fine. Knowing who you are now is greater. And knowing who you want to be and how to bring about that transformation is what 'Tell Me Your Story' is about.
THE ONE THING YOU HAVE TO GAIN...IS...THE NEW WORLD YOU WANT!
Since 2007, we've been producing TMYS, available at richarddugan.com.
My dream is to syndicate 'Tell MeYourStory' and take it on the road. Traveling to all parts of the world, talking with people who are living, working and playing in new ways that are changing the world, one person at a time.
I have been interviewing for over 30 years, talking with thousands of; authors, musicians, light workers, metaphysicians, spiritualists, co-creators, body, mind and light workers, new thought people, visionaries, revolutionaries, inovators.
We all have a story and mine is no greater or lesser than yours. Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. I was legally blind from birth. In spite or because of that, I went through 13 years of school not knowing what I wanted to do and so I went to Communtiy College and worked in the AV Department. I found out about a job with 'Sun Sounds' Radio Reading Service, for the blind and visually impaired. I not only became a client, I started working there August 29, 1979 and never “looked” back.
On March 6, 1996, I received a lens implant and went from 20/200 or worse to 20/80 overnight. Within just a few months, I was learning to drive a car. A dream I had given up in acceptance of the way I was, legally blind. And that was 'ok'. Bicycling was just fine for me. Then my marriage of 15 years came to an end and I met Amrita Ma. We married and moved to her home town of Santa Barbara and we both started a new life 5 minutes for her childhood home.
We've been to Ireland twice and dream of living there one day very soon.
I dreamed I would drive, travel to far away places, share the love with someone with a very open, loving heart, live by the sea, have my own radio show, teach others my craft, meet new and exciting souls. I am working on 2 books and more.What are your dreams?........
I will share more thoughts later. RD

Best Selling Author Will Johnson and his latest book “The Radical Path of Somatic Dharma: Radiant Body, Radiant Mind” Inner Traditions (January 7, 2025). Will is the director of the Institute for Embodiment Training and the founder of Bambu Hueco, a retreat center in Costa Rica that views the body as the doorway to spiritual growth and transformation. Book Description: The modern practice of seated meditation is in serious need of reformation. What began as a living, vibrant, and felt practice—the primary practice of the Buddhist path to spiritual realization—has painted itself into a corner of frozen stillness, divorced from lived, bodily experience. Presenting an accessible and deeply felt guide to sitting meditation as an active exploration, Will Johnson offers a revitalized understanding of this essential spiritual practice through deeper connection with the body. Johnson argues that the thought-focused mode of consciousness of modern rigid seated meditation introduces patterns of holding and tension into our bodies and virtually guarantees that awakening will not occur. He explains how our focus on thought, rather than embodied experience, results in a numbing of our connection to our physical self and the dimming of the body’s natural somatic radiance, which in turn leads to the nagging presence of chronic pain, a general sense of malaise, and the inability to get comfortable in our own bodies. However, this “consciousness of separation” can be overcome. Johnson presents a wide range of practices, including 14 meditations, to support the awakening of breath and presence in the body, drawing on techniques from Buddhist, Sufi, and somatic wisdom traditions as well as methods from his studies with Ida Rolf and Judith Aston. Through the radical path of conscious sitting, Johnson shows how to transform your sitting meditation practice into a fully natural mudra of greater grace from which radiance will naturally flow. As the egoic perspective is dissolved, and chronic pain and discomfort are lessened, practitioners begin to feel a new, enlightened, bodily radiance—what Johnson calls “The Great Wide Open.” Thoughts about Will Johnson and his new book: Every time the Buddhist dharma (teachings) have moved to a new territory the form of the teachings have changed due to its interaction with the cultural/spiritual reality of the new territory. The gentle Chinese monks arrive on the shores of Japan where they encounter the samurai, and zen becomes fierce. The teachers from northern India climb up onto the Tibetan plateau where they encounter the shamanistic and animistic culture of the indigenous Bon-po, and suddenly images of wrathful and peaceful deities enter the Buddhist world. The teachings are now moving to the West, and there is no way that a uniquely Western Dharma—different from the forms coming over from Asia—won’t be created. Will Johnson’s new book is a forward visioning presentation of just what those changes will look like.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tell-me-your-story--6541985/support.

Joan L Scibienski - EQUINOX by Richard DuganBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tell-me-your-story--6541985/support.
Dr. Lisa Nezneski, the author of Grounded in Chaos: Leaning into Adversity, Learning Joy (Lisa Nezneski, April 28, 2020). This 268-page book, published in English (ISBN-10: 1734745703 | ISBN-13: 978-1734745702), explores resilience, transformation, and self-discovery. Dr. Nezneski’s personal journey is one of overcoming adversity. After losing her home, life savings, and a 34-year marriage, she was forced to rebuild from the ground up. Her book delves into this experience, using powerful metaphors to describe loss as an earthquake that shattered her foundation, the rebuilding process as planting seeds in scorched earth, and unexpected moments—such as watching a group of shirtless Marines jogging past—as reminders that joy persists even in the most difficult times. Dr. Nezneski is available for interviews and can provide insights on a variety of topics, including: The Art of Reinvention: Strategies for starting over after major life changes. Finding Joy in the Unexpected: How mindfulness and humor play a role in healing. Leaning into Adversity: The benefits of embracing life’s chaos rather than resisting it. The Spiritual Side of Resilience: The impact of Reiki, meditation, and personal growth on recovery. Lessons from Loss: Key takeaways from losing everything and rebuilding with purpose. To facilitate your interview planning, here are 10 suggested questions: Your book is titled Grounded in Chaos—what does that phrase mean to you? You experienced multiple personal and financial losses—how did you begin to rebuild? What was the most difficult part of your journey, and how did you navigate it? Can you share an example of an unexpected moment of joy that stood out to you? How can individuals train themselves to find light in difficult times? What role did mindfulness and meditation play in your healing process? How does humor contribute to resilience in challenging circumstances? What advice do you have for those feeling lost after a significant life upheaval? How can people learn to embrace change instead of fearing it? What key message do you hope readers take away from Grounded in Chaos? About Lisa Nezneski: Dr. Lisa Nezneski believes that “everything happens in its own right time.” A leader in Integrative Medicine, she blends traditional medicine, mindfulness, and alternative healing to offer a holistic approach to resilience and wellness. She is a Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, a board-certified pharmacotherapist, Reiki Master, and author. With more than 30 years of experience in healthcare—as a clinical pharmacist, hospital administrator, and healthcare consultant—Lisa has mastered the art of balancing fact-based advice with personal transformation. Her unique perspective extends beyond medicine—Lisa is also a poet, using narrative poetry as a tool for deep emotional processing and healing. She has taught at Duquesne University, served as Chief Clinical Officer at Schatz Clinical Services, and is currently the owner of Healthy Mindful Self, an integrative medicine company. She holds degrees from the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Cincinnati, along with specialized certifications from Harvard Business School, Wharton, and the University of Western States. Lisa’s heartfelt storytelling, humor, and wisdom make her an ideal guest for your show. I’d love to set up an interview—let me know if you're interested, and we can coordinate a time that works for you and get high-resolution shots of Lisa and the book.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tell-me-your-story--6541985/support.
Who am I, for where I got the idea that what I think can matter? And what is good about what is going on SUE Speaks As our methods and systems get decimated, we are getting an education about what the U.S. does. And although we were grumbling with discontent before Trump, we were lackluster, not pressing on a status quo that needed massive revision. Now I’m seeing the value in being crammed with knowledge about the workings of the world. We are awake and alive. Getting activated was the next step on the road to making basic revisions, and here we are, mad enough to be looking for what to do. However, as I near Hail Mary time for delivering my best, before getting on with that I thought I’d share some intro to what I’ve got my energy on. I majored in English and Drama in college, and I never had to deal with the rigors of the material world, where not having any body of work to tend to has let me freelance in the melodrama, Along Came Humanity. A fundamental challenge has been to become what I had no role model for, where my beautiful, brilliant, creative mom was a housewife who took care of me and wrote poetry for her friends on their birthdays. So, although I aced school, I left college having snared a husband to be a wife to, and never imagined I’d do more than little acting parts like these. I did take acting classes that afforded me another sort of success, learning about myself in my evolutionary rollout to get past my mother’s stopping place. (Take acting classes and you’ll save money on psychotherapy.) I’ve written before about the bombshell that eventually came along, from a stretch of automatic writing I called Inside the Intelligence, that was addressed to me and delivered a wisdom beyond my own. It included these instructions that have been my life’s work to take on: We will keep helping you, but you must ask. Let us in. Until you open the door, we are outside of you. Come and get us. It is what they all must do. We are absolute. Send your friends. Tell them we already know what they will say. Tell them we think not. That is all deflections. Instead, let the truth sink in. Suzanne, you are merely doing your job. We are giving you nothing to hide behind, Suzanne. Not even us. We are you. It is all you talking. Suzanne, you can only be heard by those who can hear, and they will emerge as they may. Keep talking. You are refining your thoughts. We are very well pleased. Where in your organizing idea, Suzanne, do you not find peace? Can we contemplate this subject? Where is that hole in your heart that comes unplugged? Why are you not whole? You want more heart song. Then the plug is in. Your life force flows. A world of loving would eternally charm you. Almost everyone is evaluating instead of entering life where they would not know separation. Replace survival and acquisition with adventure. Suzanne, you are here to model a way of being that is very foreign to most people. We have programmed you to seek excellence. You cannot settle for less. You know the composition. The orchestra must be in tune. You are here to be a maestro. Your job is to make maestros. You are a spirit guide. We are waiting for you to get this. Free yourself of identification with Earth boxes. Do your job. Don't complain. You're doing it. Relax. You will do better -- which is feel better -- if you remember who you are.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tell-me-your-story--6541985/support.

jillamysager.com Jill Amy Sager, a professional Tarot reader, channeler, and author whose profound work stands out in the ever-growing world of metaphysics and spiritual self-development. Jill’s journey and unique perspective offer your audience a refreshing and relatable approach to accessing universal wisdom. Jill’s life has been anything but conventional. Born with physical disabilities that shaped her path, she embraced her identity as an outsider, channeling her challenges into a remarkable connection with “Guidance”—a collective energy of love and wisdom she describes as “a radio frequency that’s always on.” This connection has led her to help countless individuals navigate life’s uncertainties through Tarot and channeled readings. Here’s why Jill would make a fascinating guest for your show: Unique Approach to Spirituality: Jill’s work isn’t rooted in academic philosophy or spiritual dogma but in deeply personal experiences and an authentic connection with universal energy. Her insights are both accessible and transformative. A Personal Journey with Universal Lessons: From growing up with physical disabilities to finding empowerment in unconventional choices, Jill’s story inspires resilience and self-acceptance. She’s an advocate for using personal struggles as a catalyst for growth. Timely Expertise: With Tarot and metaphysics surging in popularity, Jill offers practical advice on how to discern trustworthy practitioners and harness these tools for personal empowerment. A Compelling New Book: Jill’s latest work, Guidance from the Universe: Hopeful Messages for Everyday Challenges, delivers actionable wisdom on universal topics like anger, forgiveness, grief, and abundance. Her book provides readers with tools to embrace self-love and navigate life’s complexities with clarity. Empowering Insights for All: Whether it’s learning to connect with the universe, finding hope amidst suffering, or shifting from hopelessness to joy, Jill’s teachings resonate across diverse audiences. A conversation with Jill could explore: The moment she first connected with “Guidance” and how it transformed her life. Practical steps for listeners to tap into their intuition and receive messages from the universe. Her perspective on why metaphysics is experiencing a cultural resurgence. The powerful correlation she’s observed between overcoming physical limitations and deep spiritual connection. In an interview with you, Jill Amy Sager can answer questions such as: How did you get started reading Tarot cards? You call the energy you channel “Guidance.” Why? And how did you get started channeling? How does “Guidance” appear to you? How can someone benefit from a Tarot or channeled reading? If someone wanted to learn how to receive messages from the Universe, the other side of the veil, how would you advise them to begin? Right now interest in metaphysics, especially Tarot, is experiencing a popularity like never before. Why do you think this has happened? What should someone look for when seeking a reading from a psychic, medium or channeler? In your book you refer to how being physically disabiled from birth shaped your life. Do you think there is a correlation between being physically disabled being able to channel? Many in the world are suffering, angry, or unhappy. How can someone make the change from feeling hopeless to feeling better or is that even possible? Why did you decide to write your book, “Guidance from the Universe: Hopeful Messages for Everyday Challenges.” What do you hope people take away from reading your book? If you were to pass along Guidance’s wisdom, is there one thing you would tell us that you’ve learned that might be helpful? Jill’s warmth, wisdom, and authenticity make her a standout voice in today’s spiritual landscape. She’d love to bring her insights to your listeners and offer a live reading or answer audience questions to make the conversation even more engaging.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tell-me-your-story--6541985/support.
http://handanalysis.net/ What Is Hand Analysis? Hand analysis is the modern form of the ancient art of palmistry. Whereas palmistry is defined as foretelling the future from the lines of your palm, hand analysis seeks to further self- understanding through an examination of the entirety of your hands. Because each pair of hands are a self portrait drawn from deep within, to have your hands read is to lift the veil, to stare deep into the truth mirror, to stand revealed before your very eyes. A hand reading shows you who you are today and who you can be. Your hand analyst will examine the overall shape of your palm and fingers to determine your basic temperament, your thumb to see you how you "get things under your thumb," and the twelve zones of the fingers to see personality strengths and weaknesses. The lines in your palm will be examined to determine your basic wiring: the type of emotional system you have, what kind of computer you possess, which nervous system type you are, etc. Talents and hidden motivations will be revealed. Both hand shape and lines change over time, but there is a part of your hands unaltered from five months prior to birth: your fingerprints. Like an acorn containing within it a picture of the oak tree it may become someday, your fingerprints reveal your Life Purpose. By comparing the original imprint revealed in your fingerprints with the dynamic map of your personality and character shown in the lines and hand topography, a hand reading gives perspective to your current circumstances in relation to the big picture of your life story.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tell-me-your-story--6541985/support.

Facial features and expressions can offer insights into a person's personality and even health, though these are often subtle and should be interpreted with caution. Some studies suggest that specific features, like face shape, eye distance, and facial symmetry, may be linked to certain personality traits or behaviors. However, it's important to remember that these are general observations and individual experiences can vary. Here's a more detailed look at what your face might communicate: Personality: Face Shape: Round: May be perceived as kind, generous, and putting others first, according to the Times of India. Rectangular: Might be seen as logical, good at thinking, but potentially prone to overthinking. Diamond: May be perceived as someone who likes to take control and have things their way.

https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tell-me-your-story--6541985/supporthttp://handanalysis.net/ What Is Hand Analysis? Hand analysis is the modern form of the ancient art of palmistry. Whereas palmistry is defined as foretelling the future from the lines of your palm, hand analysis seeks to further self- understanding through an examination of the entirety of your hands. Because each pair of hands are a self portrait drawn from deep within, to have your hands read is to lift the veil, to stare deep into the truth mirror, to stand revealed before your very eyes. A hand reading shows you who you are today and who you can be. Your hand analyst will examine the overall shape of your palm and fingers to determine your basic temperament, your thumb to see you how you "get things under your thumb," and the twelve zones of the fingers to see personality strengths and weaknesses. The lines in your palm will be examined to determine your basic wiring: the type of emotional system you have, what kind of computer you possess, which nervous system type you are, etc. Talents and hidden motivations will be revealed. Both hand shape and lines change over time, but there is a part of your hands unaltered from five months prior to birth: your fingerprints. Like an acorn containing within it a picture of the oak tree it may become someday, your fingerprints reveal your Life Purpose. By comparing the original imprint revealed in your fingerprints with the dynamic map of your personality and character shown in the lines and hand topography, a hand reading gives perspective to your current circumstances in relation to the big picture of your life story.
Terry Modica, author of “The Father’s Heart: Meet the Real Abba Father: Book One: 10 Spiritual Exercises to Heal from the Wounds of the Heart” En Route Books & Media (July 3, 2024). About the Book: The Father’s Heart is written to help you experience the wonderfulness of the True Father’s heart so that your faith can be set free to reach its full potential. It’s an inspirational guide to healing that will enable you to experience God the Father as he truly is, using scriptures, true life stories, and theological reflection. In it, we’ll identify and overcome the most common misconceptions that interfere with faith in God. Unveil the heart of God as a loving Father through this inspiring book. Learn how His love can transform your life and bring healing. What are you seeking from God your Father? How close do you feel to the Father’s heart? Do you know that, if what you want is good and God doesn’t have a better plan, you already have what you seek? It often takes time for it to be revealed and understood, but God has already granted it because he loves you far more than you realize. To help guide your interview, we have prepared the following questions for your consideration:: 1. How and why did you become Catholic? 2. You got involved in the occult when you were a teenager. How did that affect your Christian faith? 3. How did your life change when you became Catholic? 4. Tell us about your apostolate. What does Good News Ministries do? 5. What inspired you to write your book(s)? 6. Why do many find it difficult to feel close to God the Father? 7. How did your relationship with your own father affect your faith life? 8. How did you come to know God as a loving Father? 9. What has happened in our society that undermines faith in the Father? 10. Explain how the breakdown of families has affected attendance at church. What can parishes do about this? About Terry: Terry Modica is executive director of Good News Ministries of Tampa Bay (gnm.org), which she founded with her husband Ralph in 1995 to help people grow closer to Christ and enter the embrace of the Father, then serve as evangelizers empowered by the Holy Spirit. As a leader in lay apostleship and a pioneer in using internet technologies for Catholic outreach since 1996, her ministry is international. As a writer, her first article was published in 1982. Since 1988, she has been a book author, speaker, prolific writer of daily reflections and many other works, and a spiritual director. Terry has a Bachelor’s Degree in theology from Cloverdale College and certifications in two Lay Pastoral Ministry institutes. Since becoming Catholic in 1977, she has served the Church in a wide variety of parish and diocesan ministries, on staff and as a volunteer. She has been vetted by the Diocese of St. Petersburg and Good News Ministries of Tampa Bay is included in the Official Catholic Directory. Her personal testimony, shared at speaking engagements and in her writings, includes how the Holy Spirit brought her into the Catholic faith in 1977 by giving her instant faith in the True Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, and how a few years later Jesus introduced her to God the Father (her human dad was emotionally and spiritually distant) and to the Blessed Mother (raised a Protestant, it took a miracle to start that relationship). We at Newman Communications would be thrilled to arrange an interview with Terry to discuss her book, personal experiences, and insights. If you're interested, please let me know your availability and any specific topics you'd like Terry to cover.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tell-me-your-story--6541985/support.
