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.

In today's incredible interview, you'll hear Stephanie "Enora" Perez discuss what it was like to be a young, female truck driver who just also happens to be a psychic medium! Boy does she have some stories, y'all! The first half of our interview is packed full of exciting tales of terror, paranormal activity, and unbelievable events while she was driving a big rig across America. We then discuss being a psychic medium, setting good psychic boundaries, and how we can help our psychic children. Y'all come on in!
OUR GUEST
Enora is many things to include a Psychic-Medium, Trance Channeler, an Angelic Communicator, Ordained Minister with the Universal Life Church, and a Ferrywoman able to feel the presence of oncoming death; thus, guiding the transition of spirit across the veil. Enora was trained as a Reiki Energy Healer and holds several spiritual attunement styles in her field. She performs home and land clearings, utilizing Curanderismo practices, and often utilizes percussion instruments and sound frequencies in healing sessions.

Enora has studied Shamanism, Journeying, 5D Quantum Healing, Remote Viewing, EFT Tapping, and has learned to perform psychic surgery to spiritually remove a series of illnesses, and embedded ET implants. Her work as a Psychic Medium is greatly impacted by the mentorship of Veronica Drake, the guidance of Erik Medhus, friendship of Kim Voigt, and the support of many in the spiritual community.

She has created a customized learning approach and privately caters one on one to family units with unique abilities. Enora instructs by displaying techniques for spirit interaction, such as establishing boundaries, safe everyday practices, distance healing demonstrations, and assisting in triggering the remembrance of spiritual communication for parents and children alike. Through her work she demonstrates the release of fear based thoughts, and empowers others to engage with spirit. This is often done through monthly Channeling Sessions, Spirit Circles, and Energetic Healing circles.
Visit her website at enorascorner.com and you can find her on social media under Enora's Corner or Enora's Corner LLC.
