Christine Clawley: Lucid Awakening

Join Trish and Rob for a conversation with... Christine Clawley received her MA from Pacifica Graduate Institute in 2015 and became a licensed professional counselor in Colorado in 2018. She is currently a clinician in private practice and has a Jungian and depth-oriented practice in Arizona that helps clients heal from traumatic experiences, as well as supports individuals who have also had near-death experiences or other spiritually transformative experiences. After overcoming the life-threatening Necrotizing Fasciitis at age 24, she embarked on a journey of healing and self-understanding through exploring various holistic techniques, including a mindfulness practice, meditation, yoga, self-hypnosis, and indigenous healing modalities. Prior to contracting this illness, she received many dreams and messages that foreshadowed her illness. While spending nearly a month in a medically-induced coma she had many dreams that mirrored what was happening to her on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. Upon awaking from the coma, she experienced increased intuition, empathy, and an increased frequency of lucid and precognitive dreams. These experiences have led her to research topics related to near-death experiences, consciousness, non-ordinary reality, synchronicity, dreaming, and shamanism. www.lucidawakening.com

Melissa Kay Benson: VO In The MU

Join Trish and Rob for a conversation with... Melissa Kay Benson is an audiobook narrator from New Orleans, Louisiana. She started acting in kindergarten and has never stopped. Her acting background in local theaters and her love of audiobooks led her to her career as a narrator. She says the name of her game is strength and persistence in everything she does. Narrating audiobooks allows her to flex her acting muscle every day. She particularly loves the tension of a thriller, the intimacy of a memoir, and the educational aspect of nonfiction narration. Her educational background in medical massage therapy and intensive anatomical studies, including the performance of human dissections, lends itself well to medical narration with anatomical and biological terminology. Finally, she is a passionate Masters CrossFit athlete. Nothing builds mental fortitude like tough physical training, and she applies that strength to her work, producing audiobooks from auditions, book preparation, narration, editing, and more. Also, Mellisa reads a selection from Trish's book "The Seventh Sense." https://mkbenson.com

He is the principal psychologist at Chris Mackey and Associates, his private practice in Geelong.

He is the resident psychologist and a regular presenter on the national TV wellbeing show, Destination Happiness, and writes regular columns for The Geelong Advertiser.

He’s the author of The Positive Psychology of Synchronicity: Enhance your mental health through the power of coincidence. Mackey integrates the book’s themes further with the burgeoning field of positive psychology, a science of well-being. I also wanted to spell out more fully some of the potential benefits from meaningful coincidences for mental health. He’s particularly interested in the potential benefits of synchronicity to enhance mental health by boosting our PERMA. Positive psychology uses this acronym to guide us to the five core pillars of happiness. Anything that boosts our positive emotion, engagement in life roles, relationships, personal meaning, and accomplishment is likely to promote our overall well-being and positive mental health. This book spells out how synchronistic experiences can help do this.

David Strabala: What Is Synchronicity?

Join Trish and Rob for a conversation with... David Strabala directed the award-winning feature documentary, “What Is Synchronicity?” The seed for the film came from a 15-year-old boy in a group home where David served as a therapist. They were discussing how to be in the right place at the right time. The boy concluded, “That was cool, you ought to do a book about that!” David couldn’t ignore the suggestion, and several synchronicities later the book idea changed into a film project. His 2014 film features a young man, called the “Uncertainty Hero,” who provides a foil for the material through tips on synchronicity. www.WhatisSynchronicity.com https://vimeo.com/ondemand/synchronicity

Catriona MacGregor: Secrets Of A Celtic Mystic

Join Trish and Rob for a conversation with... Catriona MacGregor is the author of a new book out this week called "Secrets of a Celtic Mystic: Sacred Earth Prophecy." Her earlier book, "Partnering with Nature: The Wild Path to Reconnecting with the Earth," won a gold medal from the Nautilus Book Awards, which recognizes world-changing books that promote positive social change. In her books, Catriona explores the magic of nature and our precarious relationship with the “outdoors” from the perspective of a scientist, an environmental journalist, and a nature guide. She treats us to astonishing stories of how nature heals and shows us the path to “re-wilding,” a revolution in consciousness and a reckoning with the “feminine” values of compassion, intuition, and planetary survival. Catriona has extensive experience in habitat management and species conservation and is leading a resilient forests initiative to apply innovative and bold solutions to forest & species management. She is a visionary bridge-builder between nature and humankind - and an intuitive mystic. https://www.catrionamacgregor.org
