Paula describes her time spent with Heather Bryant as "fascinating," "truly inspirational," and "incredibly insightful." No one has a story quite like Heather's. After barely surviving a toxic corporate world working environment, Heather's life took a significant turn when she realized she could get psychic downloads and channel messages from the other side. 
 
In this episode, Heather is entirely forthcoming about how the corporate world nearly destroyed her health, but when the Divine revealed her life purpose, her health was restored, and her life changed forever. 
 
Today, Heather uses her gifts to help people worldwide align to their mission and purpose, understand their soul contracts and the life blueprint their soul created for them before incarnating so that they can step into their mission and help to create the new earth paradigm.

Paula was joined by six people who read Thought SNOB and were so deeply impacted by her book that they graciously donated their time to discuss their reactions on a book panel. The conversation is focused on Thought SNOB: The Modern Spiritual Playbook For A Better Life, but this unscripted, raw taping was so much more. There are laughter, tears, stories, and epiphany moments.

***TRIGGER WARNING*** THIS EPISODE CONTAINS DESCRIPTIONS OF MULTIPLE SEXUAL ASSAULTS.
 
WARNING! You may never look at football the same again. This episode is dedicated to bringing awareness to sexual violence against women and how victims of rape can move on and heal after sexual assault. 
 
Paula invited Alison Jennings on the show to share how hypnotherapy helped her to heal after a group of well-known football players gang-raped her. And here's the kicker. The police department destroyed evidence to cover it up and ensure she didn’t have a case. 
 
The traumatic events Alison suffered led her to become a spokesperson for RAINN, which is the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network. She also works with an organization called We Lead Athletes. Her story has been featured on the world's largest and most prestigious media networks, including Dateline, CNN, Fox News, the New York Times, and many more. 
 
After years of being a sexual assault speaker, Alison scaled her work, and now her speeches are dedicated to empowering women in general. You can also add singer-songwriter, visionary entrepreneur, Goddess of ideas, connoisseur of satire, and car lover to her long list of talents and interests.

Many people shatter when life doesn't go as planned. Life will never always go as planned, and you must stay emotionally resilient when circumstances aren't in your favor. When Paula learned about Becky Galli, she knew she had to have her on the show to talk about emotional resilience during life's most tragic curveballs. Most people haven't dealt with half of what this woman has been through, and she didn't shatter. Becky is a best-selling author and columnist who powered through situations that would have broken many people, which she speaks candidly about in this episode. One of her most effective daily practices for ensuring emotional resilience is a morning ritual. Her new book, Morning Fuel: Daily Inspirations to Stretch Your Mind Before Starting Your Day, contains a meticulous collection of daily readings, reflective questions, and inspirational stories to help you integrate a daily morning practice that gives you sustainable strength throughout your day.
 
Paula advises you get your chocolates and Kleenex for this one. Please visit Beck'y website to learn more about her work and her new book: https://rebeccafayesmithgalli.com
