    From Cult to Freedom: Journey of Liberation, Healing, Resilience, and Awakening with Isabella Young
    2024/12/10

    Episode #98 In this powerful episode, Isabella Young takes us through her remarkable journey from the grips of a cult to discovering freedom and healing through the transformative power of nature. She unpacks the dynamics of mind control, the profound importance of self-love, and the collective awakening happening in humanity today. Isabella sheds light on grounding practices like connecting with nature and sun gazing while exploring the critical role of women in the paradigm shift unfolding before us.


    Her path included pilgrimages, retreats, shamanic journeys, and eight years in a messianic cult as the wife of the “guru” who tragically took her son’s life. This heartbreaking loss freed her from brainwashing and propelled her relentless quest for healing, truth, and empowerment. Now thriving in Hawaii, Isabella enjoys the natural beauty of Kauai while dedicating her life to writing, growing food, and helping others awaken to their fullest potential.


    Her first book, “Putting on the Armor of God: A survival handbook for the Great Awakening and New Earth”, exposes the war on Humanity and what we can do to protect and empower ourselves. Her second book, “New Human of New Earth”, offers readers hundreds of natural medicines, body technologies, and spiritual technologies to optimize physical and mental health, expansion of consciousness, multidimensionality, and sovereignty.


    This conversation dives deep into the battle against darkness, the significance of awareness, and the call to embody light and love in our everyday lives.

    2024/11/19
    Episode #95 In this episode of the Awaken Heart Podcast, I have an inspiring conversation with Meagan Price, who shares her incredible journey of transformation after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and later given a terminal diagnosis. Faced with leaving behind her husband, their one-year-old child, and everything she had built—her home, community, and team—Meagan felt overwhelmed by fear. But instead of giving up, she channeled that fear into action. She began a global journey, seeking out anyone and anything that offered the potential for healing and more time. Meagan opens up about her exploration of various healing modalities like Qigong, Reiki, and sound therapy, which not only helped her heal but also inspired her mission to help others find their path to wellness. Meagan had found so much healing and collected so many modalities that she was ready to begin to help others. So she started Healing Thyme; an educational institution specializing in teaching people tools to change their life. We discuss the importance of integrating different healing practices, the power of intention, and the resilience it takes to maintain a positive mindset in the face of adversity.

    2024/11/12
    Episode #94 In this episode of the Awakened Heart Podcast, I sit down with Sean Bw Parker to dive into the complex world of cultural theory, exploring how universities shape societal values, and how groupthink and cancel culture have evolved. We discuss the role of feminism today, shifts in the political landscape, and why individualism and freedom of expression are crucial. We also touch on justice reform, the importance of truth in society, and the unique challenges young people face in navigating these issues. Throughout, we emphasize the need for open dialogue and the courage to speak one’s truth in an increasingly polarized world. With over eight books, six albums, and a TEDx talk to his name, Sean’s work spans cultural theory, art, media critique, and justice reform. For ten years, he lived in Istanbul, immersing himself in the music and culture scene, where he wrote for Time Out Istanbul and Louder Than War and taught English and cultural studies. Sean brings a centrist libertarian perspective, often tackling controversial topics like cancel culture, media, justice reform, and the nuances within progressive ideologies. His latest book, A Delicate Balance of Reason – Adventures In The Culture Wars, explores these issues in depth and was released this May, with an Audible version coming soon. Sean’s thoughtful approach and diverse experiences make him the perfect guest for an eye-opening discussion today. Takeaways Cultural theory analyzes societal narratives beyond individual stories.Universities often promote a left-leaning agenda that influences students.Groupthink can lead to cancel culture and suppression of dissenting voices.Feminism is divided on issues related to gender identity and women's rights.The political landscape is shifting towards populism and individualism.Art and creativity are essential for expressing individual perspectives.Truth and honesty are crucial in navigating societal challenges.Justice reform is needed to address miscarriages of justice.The younger generation is malleable and needs guidance in critical thinking.Living with an awakened heart means embracing truth and individuality.
