She explores how different parenting styles and discipline strategies impact your child’s growth. You’ll learn about child behavior, gentle parenting, emotional triggers, and reactive parenting.We also dig into modern challenges like social media, communication breakdowns, and balancing support with independence. Tia explains how developing emotional intelligence creates stronger family dynamics and a calmer home environment.

What if your mind could see beyond words? In this interview, Tom Matte introduces his phenomenon called Upside Vision, a way of perceiving holographic images, symbols, and insights that go far deeper than everyday conversation. We explore the role of permission, the surprising connection between trauma and hidden abilities, and the idea that the brain may function more like a receiver than a generator. Along the way, Tom shares how meditation, symbolism, and personal journeys all shape this unusual form of perception.As the discussion unfolds, we step into questions about the future of communication, the influence of online personas on authenticity, and the possibility of nonverbal connection that transcends traditional language. From scientific studies to growing interest in these unexplored abilities, this conversation blends personal storytelling with big picture implications. Nothing is answered outright, but you will leave with more questions about the boundaries of human perception, the mind’s hidden potential, and what might be waiting just beyond the edge of ordinary awareness.Tom Matte is the creator of Upside Vision, a phenomenon where he perceives holographic images that reveal symbolic insights. After overcoming trauma and addiction, he discovered this ability and now shares it through personal readings, talks, and collaborations with researchers. His work explores how perception, meditation, and science intersect with human potential.Check Out the New YouTube Channel Here1:1 SessionsPERSONALIZED HYPNOTHERAPY, TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING, OR MOVEMENT COACHING ---------------------------------------------Buy Sara's New Book Here!Please give a review and let the community know what you think!Thanks so much for all of your support!With gratitude,Les and Sara_________________________________________________________Some of our Favorite Affiliates...Sweat it out with an Infrared Sauna from SunlightenFeeling Stressed?

In this conversation, I sit down with Eva Hooft to talk about the realities of detoxification. Eva shares her personal journey, explaining why it’s important to understand the root causes of congestion rather than relying on quick fixes. She also discusses how excessive detox practices can deplete essential minerals and place strain on the adrenal and nervous systems.Throughout our talk, Eva points out that not all detox methods are safe or effective. Some approaches can even lead to hospitalization if done improperly. This interview highlights why it’s so important to listen to your body, take a measured approach, and view detox as one part of a bigger picture of healing and overall health.Connect with Eva at https://www.evahooft.com1:1 SessionsPERSONALIZED HYPNOTHERAPY, TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING, OR MOVEMENT COACHING ---------------------------------------------Buy Sara's New Book Here!Please give a review and let the community know what you think!Thanks so much for all of your support!With gratitude,Les and Sara_________________________________________________________Some of our Favorite Affiliates...Sweat it out with an Infrared Sauna from SunlightenFeeling Stressed?
