Have you ever felt you were living your life for someone or something else, and not yourself? In this episode, I chat with Lifestyle Management Coach and Podcast host Ellyn Schinke, who took a sharp turn away from a PhD in microbiology to walk a transformative path into a new life. We all have moments of feeling stuck, when deep down in our gut we know what we’re doing is not really what we are meant to do. Ellyn shares with us her journey, starting with when she first felt something was off...

We’ve all dealt with trauma in our lives, probably more than most of us would like to admit. Sometimes it can feel like it will never get better, but my guest today is proof that it does. In talking with comedian and spiritual energy healing practitioner Sarah Taylor, we learn about how the downs, not the ups of her life, led her onto a path of spiritual discovery. Diving deeply into Buddhism and her wide-ranging spiritual background, Sarah walks us through how trauma was the catalyst to...

Have you ever heard the phrase, “Don’t think, just do!”? Today’s episode is all about doing just that. I sat down with my friend-with-a-magical-mind, lawyer and comedian Paul Farahvar. Taking a huge leap from full-time lawyer to stand-up comedian, he shares his inspiring, exciting journey about following his opportunity compass and how it led to him “seizing the day” and living his best life. I’ve learned it’s not always about looking at the big picture, since it’s sometimes about simply...

It’s hard to see the good sometimes, when everything seems to be going so — ... well, not good. In this week's episode, I chat with artist, designer and transformative healer April Nemeth about how navigating through the waters of hardship can be difficult, but how trusting in the bigger picture can make all the difference. Most of us have found that focusing on getting to know your authentic self can be scary and intimidating at times, since the process can unfold in so many different ways...

Right now, during these unpredictable coronavirus times, with things being a little crazy all over and so much uneasiness and uncertainty, people are being driven to slow down, take a step back, and really take a look at what the future might bring in all aspects of their lives, including their businesses. I’m so glad I got to spend some quality time talking with Emily Cassel, a soulful business and leadership coach, who is ready to step in and offer you a supportive hand. She dives deeply...

Where do you stand on “life after death”? In this episode, I’m digging into this thought-provoking, heart-moving topic with my amazing friend, Mollie Morning Star, a painter-turned-medium after she experienced a radical transformation in her life. How do we stay connected with those who’ve passed? Are they really “okay”? Do they know I’m okay? Finding an answer to these questions can be difficult (or damn near impossible), but Mollie, with her profound gifts of spiritual awareness and...

Talking with Michelle Anderson and Lauren Massarella, the righteous ladies behind the Sister Project, a blog dedicated to ‘hygge’ (Danish for “the art of living in coziness”), creating a cozy life filled with food, family and inspiring moments. In this episode, we talk about how to devote yourself, in the best way possible, to taking care of someone you love who is dying, including the emotions and struggles that typically come with it. Grief changes everyone, and being prepared for it is...

The most interesting man alive (according to me), Rev. Peter Panagore opens the door into his near death experiences. Through these spiritual encounters, he has dedicated his life to aiming the light into the world and bringing all those who would listen closer to understanding the true power of love and how it brings us closer together, and closer to God.  You will be in awe with what he has to say so hold on to your hats and be prepared to realize that everything you think you know is wrong.

I'm Valerie Gangas, the author of Enlightenment is Sexy, and I'm super stoked to announce my upcoming podcast: Everything You Think You Know is Wrong. I'll be having conversations with a variety of humans who have experienced a radical spiritual transformation in their lives. Episode 1 drops in February 2020, and I'll release a brand new episode every other Wednesday.
