Are you already channeling? You might be—through music, art, or even those moments when the right words come just when a friend needs them.
In this conversation with Monica Rao, we explore: everyday ways channeling shows up in our lives, how love and letting go open us to deeper connection, Monica’s story of awakening after a near-death experience, and a gentle guided meditation to help you try it for yourself.
At BGF, we believe healing happens through connection—this episode is a reminder that we all have access to it.
💬 Try the meditation and share what you experienced—we’d love to hear.

This episode is the closing session of the Caregiving Connection series from the Benjamin Goldberg Foundation, where Wendy Goldberg and Dr. Sheetal Ajmani reflect on the wisdom shared throughout the series and answer audience questions about the caregiving journey.
Together, we revisit insights from our special guests:
Cindy Griffith on empathy and the difference between being empathic and empathetic—plus tools to protect your own energy.
Dr. Kapil Kapoor on patient–caregiver communication, advocacy, and preserving autonomy in the medical setting.
Monica Rao on the healing power of her channeled meditation, offering practices to move from the mind into the heart.
In this Q&A, Wendy and Dr. Ajmani expand on these themes with real-life reflections, exploring how caregivers can recognize early signs of burnout, reframe self-care as essential rather than selfish, and use simple rituals to stay grounded and resilient.
Even if you missed the earlier sessions, this conversation brings the whole series together—reminding us that while we can’t always change outcomes, we can change the story of the caregiving journey.

What if healing isn’t out there—but in the quiet return to your own knowing?
In this deeply personal conversation, Dr. Charlene Hudson returns to Sundays with Wendy to share insights from her unexpected year in Austria—where she studied innovation, joined energy circles, and rediscovered the power of healing beyond the box.

We discuss energy medicine as everyday practice, the mystery of spontaneous healing and intuitive knowing, empowerment, resonance, and reclaiming your own center, and why healing may begin with asking better questions.✨ From Austria to Virginia, tuning forks to golden matrix meditations—this episode is a love letter to the healing we already hold inside.

“Be playful. Go beyond me.” — Dr. Bill Bengston

That question—What if we never really lose the people we love?—has guided me through some of my darkest days. And it’s the heart of this week’s episode. I'm joined by intuitive consultant Mary Roach, who has helped me stay connected to Ben for nearly a decade. Together, we talk about soul contracts, divine timing, and how healing often begins with a shift in perspective.

What if speaking up could change the course of your healing?
When Julie Stevens was diagnosed with stage 4, aggressive, inoperable cancer, she realized that the traditional medical system wasn’t built for individualized healing. Instead of blindly following the standard treatment plan, she used data, self-advocacy, and alternative healing strategies to take control of her journey—and now, she’s helping others do the same.
💡 The truth? Patients often don’t say what they need to—because they don’t know they can.
In this episode, we uncover the critical conversations that every patient should have with their doctors, caregivers, and themselves.
What we cover:⚡ The unspoken struggles of being a patient—and why they need to be said⚡ How data and tracking can give patients more control over their health⚡ Why self-advocacy is a superpower in navigating the medical system⚡ The six healing toolboxes beyond traditional medicine⚡ The emotional toll of a diagnosis—and how to manage it with resilience⚡ How Mojo Health is giving patients access to personalized wellness strategiesJulie and I believe that patients deserve a voice in their healing—and this conversation will empower you with the knowledge, tools, and mindset to take charge of your health journey.
