Y'all, hearing about Patty's first-hand account of her harrowing migration to America while crossing the desert pregnant, and the difficulty that faced her as she took care of herself and her two daughters, was nothing short of amazing. She credits angels helping her along the way, and told me from the beginning of our contact, "Angels are my friends." As you listen, you will have no doubt that they truly are her friends! Join us for another Southern Dialogue interview!
OUR GUEST
Patty Holmes is a Mexican-American woman that migrated to the United States 21 years ago. She crossed the desert pregnant, and had to work hard, with the help of angels along the way, to obtain the American Dream. She is the author of an inspirational book written in Spanish and soon to be translated in English called "Un Sueño sin Fronteras", or "A Dream Without Borders". Follow Patty on Instagram! You can purchase Patty's book in Spanish from Amazon, if you're looking for the English version, she hopes to have that out sometime this year!

Marianne was 18 months old when she had her first remembrance of contact with star people, what some might term aliens. We talk about her many encounters with star people, and all the incredibly insightful information they passed on to her as well as delve into topics such as shadow people, black eyed kids, and the succubus & incubus. Marianne has an amazing podcast called Walking the Shadowlands. Please join us!

OUR GUEST
Marianne has always been a creative person. Whether that is with traditional art, or the performing arts, doing voice-over work for radio promotions in the USA or advertisements for radio – it is something that has always been a part of her life. Marianne is a published illustrator, and is also an author of a children’s story that she is currently working on illustrating. She spent most of her early working career as a nurse, both in public and in private hospitals throughout New Zealand. Spiritually, she has always had an absolute fascination for all things that go bump in the night, or haunt your dreams. For the unknown, the unexplained, and the paranormal. This started from a very young age, when she had her first experiences with UFO’s, Star People, and Earth Spirit, that are ongoing to this day. Marianne is a spiritual sensitive and has had many experiences with the unseen realms here on this planet. She is not shy about speaking out about her UFO & Star People encounters. So she considers herself very fortunate to be able to combine her love of doing voice work, with her experiences throughout her life in her podcast show Walking the Shadowlands.

Our guest for this episode of "Southern Dialogue" brings you Clare Ford, from Kent, UK, who has created an online curriculum for children, teens AND parents that target intellectual, emotional, AND spiritual needs. It's called the Switched ON! Academy, and available all over the world online. We tackle how to keep our children "switched on" learners, discuss issues in schooling, and get some great advice and insight about the benefit of reaching children with not only the basics of education, but with ways to raise their emotional quotient, and allow them a way to connect to spirituality.
About Our Guest
Clare is an author, speaker, coach, healer, tutor and parent who is passionate about ensuring that children and teens are "switched on" learners, accessing their natural gifts, abilities and talents to unlock their true potential and live purposefully. As an expert educator and award-winning wellbeing entrepreneur, Clare combines her unique skill set to support families around the world. Clare has seen first-hand the emotional damage that the education system is inflicting on children and young people, stifling their emotional and spiritual growth and causing mental illness, anxiety, depression and suicide. Her passion and enthusiasm to get children and young people motivated, switched on and learning has been the catalyst for developing the Core, Clever and Quantum Curricula.
As a sought-after energy healer and teaching mentor, Clare combines her practical, organized approach with a range of wellbeing and spiritual tools to help people see and reach their true soul's potential. Her past battles with depression and later work-related anxiety in mainstream education have inspired her to innovate and create Switched On, combining education, wellbeing and spirituality for a truly immersive and inspirational learning experience. Clare is often invited to speak on radio shows, summits and industry events.

Our creative and inspirational guest today is Swedish author, artist and witch Magic Frigren. She explains ASMR, and how she became an "ASMRtist" when she started her own horror ASMR Youtube channel called the "Secret Doll Society". She invites us into the world of the Secret Doll Society and her alter ego, "Magick". We also chat about the relationship between creativity and spirituality and she tells us about her life as a Swedish witch. Y'all come on in!

OUR GUEST
Magic is a Swedish author and artist, born in 1991. She is currently published in Sweden, but that will change this year. She loves storytelling in all different formats - fiction, comics, animation and film making. On the YouTube channel the "Secret Doll Society", she creates videos that mix many different elements: stop motion animation, acting, ASMR, horror, mystery and often humor. She makes all the dolls herself and uses her channel to create her own fictional universe. Magic is an eclectic witch and feels that creativity is very connected to spirituality. Creativity is about creation and she believes the inspiration to create is what keeps the universe going and growing.

The Secret Doll Society can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSecretDollSociety
Check out her personal channel as well, where she often talks about witchcraft and occult topics: https://www.youtube.com/user/missmagicgirltv

It's money week at Belle, Book & Candle! We talk changing our money mindset, wealth consciousness, and the need for shadow work around money in this episode with Annette Schmidt, a financial life coach. Annette gives some great advice to think about when spending that tax refund or any other windfall of money, as well as practical budgeting advice, intuitive spending tips, and even some ideas for helping kids develop their money mindset as early as 4 years old! Y'all come on in!
OUR GUEST
Annette is a financial life coach, real estate investor, and spiritual junkie with over a decade's worth of experience in the finance industry. She didn't start out as a financially savvy person, in fact it took her years of bounced checks, and paying an umpteen amount in interest and overdraft fees before finally finding financial success by changing her mindset and the way she approached money. In doing so, she's been able to pay off over $40k worth of student loans, $6k worth of credit card debt and started leveraging money to build wealth and create an abundance mindset, including real estate investing- all while making less than $100k/yr. Now Annette helps other women do the same by teaching them about both the art and science of money so they can break free from stagnant beliefs and money cycles that are no longer serving them allowing them to start creating the financial life of their dreams.

Autoimmune expert and fellow empath Tracy Gowler is here to chat with us about life as an empath. If you've wondered whether you were an empath, or simply able to show empathy to others, we discuss the differences. By the end of the episode, you'll know whether you are an empath as well as the pitfalls of being an empath, our connection to animals, how to protect our energy, and what life is like for us. Is being an empath a curse or a blessing? Can being an empath lead to autoimmune disorders?? This episode is all things EMPATH, please join us!
OUR GUEST
Tracy Gowler helps sick and exhausted women over 40 with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis regain their energy and become Hashimoto's badasses. An autoimmune expert and functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, Tracy has experienced the debilitating fatigue, brain fog and complete loss of her quality of life because of autoimmune illness. She has asked the question you might be asking. Is it even possible to heal from autoimmune? But how hard is it really? Tracy says, maybe it isn’t as hard as you might think. How many of you know someone that has been trying to find solutions in the medical community? Do you know someone that is losing their quality of life?
By combining the skills from 20 years as a mechanical engineer, over 30 years as a project manager, 3 years as an FDN practitioner, Tracy has become a Sherlock Holmes of autoimmune. Realizing that there is a structure to the healing process, she has created programs that allow clients to take it slow and steady in format that allows clients to be successful. It isn’t a pin the tail on the donkey approach. It is deliberate and each step makes progress for her clients. She is completely passionate about what she does and is determined to educate as many women as possible on what it really means to be healthy.
