In this episode, we hear from Dr and Master Zhi Gang Sha about the extraordinary healing art of Tao Calligraphy that radiates out a heavenly frequency and vibration that can be harnessed by those connecting with this vibrational field to help them heal, rejuvenate, transform, and enlighten their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies.

Annie hosts popular speaker and success coach, Antonio Neves, in episode 3 to talk about his book, "Stop Living on Autopilot", a raw and inspiring how-to guide that will help you recommit to your life, find your drive, and take action to stay bold, honest, and accountable for lasting happiness.
Take stock of your life: Based on your last 30 days of work (or marriage, or parenting), would your company rehire you? Would your partner immediately recommit to you? Would your children want you to continue to be their parent?
The easy answer is, “Absolutely!” But it's probably not the honest answer. Your life might read like a success story, and your parents and friends might even think you have it all figured out, but you have a secret: You've stopped caring about much of anything. You feel out of place in your own life. You'd rather binge-watch Netflix than think about what's next. You're living on autopilot. You have two choices: Experience a slow self-destruction, or commit to a course correction. The good news is, it's never too late to find your drive again.
Popular speaker and success coach Antonio Neves is here to offer hard-won lessons and remind you that you do have a say—that you can reboot your life and find fulfillment right where you are. You don't have to quit your job or move to Bali to follow your passion. You do, however, need to shift your perspective and commit to living courageously, replacing passivity with boldness.
Stop Living on Autopilot will guide you to confront hard truths about where you are and how you got there, inviting compassion, honesty, and accountability. There's no better time than now to reevaluate your life and lay a stronger foundation for your next 30 days. Step by step, you can become an active player in your own life and rediscover what makes you great.

E.K. Richards chats with host, Annie Cathryn, about her book "Decode Your Darkness".
It is the inevitable human experience that we will encounter pain and trauma throughout our lives, but that doesn’t mean we must suffer an existence devoid of passion, joy, and healing. You deserve to feel genuinely alive, even when life seems overwhelming and hopeless.
After spending more than half her life slumped under the heavy weight of depression, and anxiety—numbing herself just to get through each day— E.K. Richards knew something was terribly wrong, but just couldn’t put her finger on it. In her quest for understanding, she uncovered extensive childhood trauma and emotional wounds. Through therapy, self-exploration, and a huge heap of brutal honesty, she discovered how to connect with what she refers to as her “darkness” and finally began to truly experience life. With powerful and gentle perception, the author guides you through your own personal deep dive in the search for true and lasting emotional freedom.
Discover how to:
• Live inside a moment instead of living through it.
• Use creativity to process and heal from trauma.
• Recognize, embrace, and explore the dark sides of your soul.
E.K. Richards is a creative junkie, dog lover, and connoisseur of emotions. She has a background in psychology, experience in crisis counseling, and an intricate understanding of emotions and trauma processing. One of her favorite passions is helping others find their own purpose and light. E.K. Richards resides in Utah with her blended family and fur babies.
