Alison Perry-Davies’s belief is that wherever we come from, we have all known some level of pain, loss and trauma, these things do not need to define us. She doesn’t ignore that these things have happened; however, she decided this is not the way her story ends. Using integrated creative therapies along with sound and vibrational therapies she continues to explore and share complimentary healing modalities.

In this podcast she shares her story as well as having many other people sharing their stories about ways that they have found their healing and their way to find joy. Some of the guests will include authors, artists, painters, singers, songwriters, musicians, doctors, healers of different modalities, people who love to organize people who love to build things, people who find ways of raising dogs and kids and, you know, it really doesn't matter exactly what it is. It's all about finding our joy, and finding a way to make life work.

    Own Your Awkward with Andy Vargo (Part 3)

    Own Your Awkward with Andy Vargo (Part 3)

    In part 3 of our interview with Andy, the conversation turns to one of recognizing your own self-worth. We all have gone through so much change and adversity over the past year that it has been easy to lose our authentic selves and believe that we are not worth what we put out. Being humble is one thing but it is easy to believe if we continue to self-deprecate. Sand up for your own value. Own your Awkwardness and your Awesomeness.

Nick Kidawski ,

Such a cool episode about the chakras!

I just got done listening to the episode, Chakras and Chardonnay with Maria Mayes and I really enjoyed it!

I liked how Maria said that she took her teachings of yoga and the chakras to others so that they could benefit from all that she's learned over the years.

I found it interesting how she said she had to go through the good, bad, and ugly of her journey so that she was able to step into a mindful relationship with herself and educating people about wine.

Keep up the great podcast episodes, Alison :)
