On this week's RGF we discuss how (and why) it's actually quite common for our companion animals to leave us when we are pregnant as our Heal Squad mascot, @princesswhinnie did last week. (20:25) We also discuss how studies indicate that every cell in your body is a receptor for every chemical AND every emotion, making emotional duress as harmful to your cells as any toxic chemical. Mind-body experts believe this has a big hand in the forming of cancers yet few practitioners address this when trying to heal patients.

This is part two of our interview with a spiritual guide, teacher of psychic techniques and channeler of light, Laura Bushnell. In this episode, Laura explores the concept of magic - and finding one's own magic in life - while emphasizing the transformative power we all have within. Laura educates us on shamanic practices, earth magic, and the use of plant medicines for healing - particularly the use of ayahuasca for trauma healing and the profound insights/clarity it can provide. She highlights the significance of being one's own conduit for healing, listening to one's own inner guidance, allowing one's own source energy to guide and sweeping away emotional wounds to cultivate peace in order to receive clear messages from the heart and to heal. Laura also challenges the fear of death as healing can sometimes mean passing on or transitioning to the next life. This episode explores the transformative power of one's inner magic in the pursuit of personal and collective growth and healing. The magic in oursel

Lost your spark? In search of your true divinity. Seeking your life path and/or the courage to follow it? Laura Bushnell, spiritual guide, teacher of psychic techniques and channeler of light sits in with the Heal Squad to teach us how to unlock our own psychic gifts, surrender power, find divinity, connect to our own inner magic and discover our spark. Laura opens up about her major Kundalini experience after starting 'A Course in Miracles' and the shameful divorce that led to her giving away of all her possessions to find her true self. She explains the concept of giving and receiving, how abundance follows giving, seeing (and identifying) auras and how anyone can learn to see them. We learn how surrendering and trusting divine timing (including surrendering to hustle culture) is the most challenging but natural thing to do: it allows God and the universe to guide us toward our destiny. In addition, Laura opens up on the commercialization of spirituality, creating our heaven now along with meditations to fi

iJustine opens up about her personal journey with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). However, this episode is for you, or any loved one suffering with this OR any disease/life altering diagnosis or for that challenging diagnosis to come. Despite facing skepticism from doctors, iJustine's acute self-awareness and unwavering persistence led to a correct diagnosis and treatment. iJustine teaches us how to navigate negative doctors AND how to listen to our own bodies - where ultimately the answers and truth lie. She teaches us to trust the answers and the truth that comes from our bodies as well as our instincts, over everything! We also explore the significance of support systems. From her time in the hospital to the risks of treatment, iJustine's story sheds light on the challenges of keeping health issues a secret (as many of us often do due to fear) and the relief (and healing) that comes with sharing them and raising awareness. Ijustine reminds us to be the CEO's of your own health and gives us the playbook on
