[un]common medicine

It's Women's History Month, and what better way to honor women than to discuss one of the most sacred and miraculous acts only a woman can do: give birth.
Nature provided us women with everything we need to bring life into this world - our bodies are truly amazing! Somehow along the way, giving birth became a medical event, and the ancient practice of midwifery came under scrutiny and attacked for being unsafe and unable to handle the complications that may occur during the birthing process.
Well, that simply just isn't true.
Blyss Young, a board certified licensed midwife (LM) and certified professional midwife (CPM), opened the only free standing birth center in Los Angeles and transformed the way birth is managed and perceived in this country. She is an incredible woman and mother who has been helping to bring babies into this world for over 20 years. And she also taught me the correct way to pronounce her field of study, which I completely messed up in the beginning of this episode (uuugh!) it's mid-WIF-rey, just FYI.

I learned so much in our conversation today! From statistics about how high the death rate is for women and their babies here in the United States, to the incredibly emotional story of tragedy that Blyss has had to endure and live through with the sudden loss of her teenage daughter to a senseless random act of gun violence.
Midwives, part of our history and practice of wise women is alive and well - and definitely needs more credit and attention as a safe and effective option for pregnant women preparing to bring their babies into this world.

As we let go of the trauma of 2020 and reflect on the lessons, progress, and positive outcomes that were there, I think you'll agree that this NYE episode is the most perfect way to bring in the New Year! Stay tuned to the end of the episode as we share a live recorded performance of our guest, as she guides us all into the new year with her earth-tone instruments and harmonic resonant musical sounds in this special NYE meditation.
A deep theta mind wave is the goal for any meditation session for reducing stress, healing, and repair. In this episode we go to Syinthesis Sound Healing center and speak with master vibration healer and teacher LeeAnn Dzelzkalns, and learn how music can physically effect your body at the cellular level, and create dramatic shifts in your physical, spiritual and personal awakenings. She also just published her first book "View From The Mountain Top" which is a compilation of poems designed to guide us into deeper thoughts for greater intention in meditation, and in life.
We also talk about LeeAnn's Masters degree, eclectic training, and years of development of her life-altering sound meditation journey she has created, that profoundly impacts people's bodies and spiritual connectivity.

• learn about how specific musical tones physically impact our neurology and body
• improve brain coherence
• stabilize all vital signs
• discover "ah-ha" awakenings to deeper spiritual connectivity
• hear what the earth's heart beat sounds like: the healing Schumann frequency

Let's usher in the New Year with Joy, Love, Integrity and Intentionality together!

On the day I finished recording this episode, I have been sitting in silent reverence and awe ...it's January 20, 2021, and I watched the first female Vice President EVER in American history say her oath at inauguration. I literally have had a grin on my face all day, and had goosebumps and tears of joy seeing it happen. It's in this same energy of inspiration that I'd like to introduce Adam Schaeuble of the Million Pound Mission podcast. He started a podcast to help people be inspired to make positive change in their lives, organize themselves, and prioritize their habits - just like he did when he lost 100lbs.
There is a ton of immediate use take-away info in this episode, including what it's like to be a man in the deepest darkest place in your life, and what it takes to pull through. Adam did it - and is still on a mission with his family of podcasts now, to bring resources and laughter to anyone in his universe... the man-iverse of Adam.

Clint Ober is a living legend for those who know and practice the [un]common.
He is the CEO of Earth FX Inc., a research and development company located in Palm Springs, California. He first learned of grounding when installing Cable TV systems in Billings, Montana in the early 1960’s, and a decade later, he formed Telecrafter Corporation and built it into the largest provider of cable installation services in the United States.
But that's just the pre-show. Where Clint's work got really interesting is when he realized that our bodies are as conductive as any other electrical systems, so doesn’t it make sense that we also ground? The unquestionable answer he found is: YES!
And he, along with a team of scientists, has shown this to be true after 20 years of work.
From stabilizing and reducing cortisol in the body, to helping repair our bodies like Wolverine, Clint's products and work are 100% the real deal because they respectfully, sustainably, and synergistically come straight from the infinite and free source of healing power right below our feet: Mother Earth.
