The Loretta Brown Show - 10-29-26 - Dust of Soul
Today, Loretta welcomes DUST OF SOUL who is an internationally recognized musical duo and the creators of an innovative approach to healing through music, intuition, and vibration. Founded by Saskia, the Singing Psychic Medium, and Michael Angeles, the Piano Medium, Dust of Soul combines intuitive guidance, original music, frequency healing, and live performance into what they call Soul Technology—a transformational modality designed to reconnect individuals with their authentic selves through sound. At the center of their work is the belief that every person carries a unique energetic signature or Soul Song. Through intuitive channeling, Saskia receives lyrical messages and symbolic insights while Michael translates energetic impressions through piano, harmony, rhythm, and chakra resonance. Together they create original musical experiences intended to promote emotional healing, nervous system regulation, intuitive awakening, and greater inner coherence. Their work incorporates intentional healing frequencies including 432 Hz, 528 Hz, 741 Hz, 852 Hz, and 888 Hz, each selected to support different aspects of emotional, energetic, and spiritual well-being. Dust of Soul’s work is deeply personal. Saskia’s life changed dramatically after surviving a devastating brain stroke that left her temporarily paralyzed. During her recovery she discovered the extraordinary healing power of her own voice, an experience that became the foundation for the work she and Michael now share around the world. For more than thirteen years they have presented concerts, retreats, workshops, and private sessions throughout North America, Europe, India, North Africa, and the Middle East. Their performances have included MTV Unplugged, the Muscat Amphitheater for the Royal Family of Oman, and the United Nations International Day of Peace in Times Square. Their newest book, music, and Soul Song experiences continue their mission of helping people awaken through sound, reconnect with their intuition, and remember the unique song each soul carries within.

Ep. 389: Retired dentist Bill Osmunson, DDS, MPH, joins us to discuss his transformation from a longtime promoter of fluoride ingestion and water fluoridation to an outspoken advocate for ending these harmful and preventable exposures. For more than 20 years, Bill has tenaciously challenged the use of fluoride in public drinking water and mercury in dentistry. Through Washington Action for Safe Water, he has submitted dozens of petitions to Washington State agencies, pressing officials to confront the scientific evidence, reconsider longstanding policies, and protect the public—particularly children—from unnecessary toxic exposures. We discuss officials’ admissions of a dearth of evidence of a “safe dose,” fluoride sources and harms, as well as his petitions to the Washington State Board of Health, which include his request for prenatal fluoride advisories, concerns about fluoride exposure in infants fed formula prepared with tap water, and the Board's responses.

56:41The Loretta Brown Show - 10-22-26 - Tarot Emblemata
Today, Loretta welcomes Nitasia Roland who is a writer, poet, digital artist, independent researcher, and publisher of esoteric works through her indie press, Urania Press. With an interdisciplinary master’s degree in English, poetry, printmaking, and design, and an MFA in creative writing, her work sits at the crossroads of art, literature, mysticism, and symbolic philosophy. For over twenty-five years she has explored the Western Esoteric Tradition, Hermeticism, mythology, divination, synchro mysticism, and poetic trance as pathways to deeper understanding of the symbolic imagination. Her creative works include several Tarot and oracle decks such as Tarot Chimera, Starlore Astronomical Tarot, Terra Incognita Oracle, Astronomia Oracle, and the widely celebrated Tarot Emblemata deck. Tarot Emblemata uniquely revives the symbolic tradition of Renaissance emblem books, drawing from 16th-century French historian Claude Paradin’s Devises Heroïques, aligning those enigmatic emblems with the Major and Minor Arcana of Tarot. Through this fusion of historical imagery and archetypal symbolism, Roland’s work invites readers into contemplative dialogue with the mysteries of myth, spirit, and imagination.

53:57Informed Life Radio - 10-16-26 - A Constitutional Victory for Washington Sheriffs
Ep. 388: Pierce County Sheriff Keith Swank, a staunch supporter of medical autonomy and individual rights, joins us to discuss an October 2 Washington court ruling striking down provisions of SB 5974. The law sought to expand state oversight of sheriffs through new eligibility requirements and the authority of the unelected Criminal Justice Training Commission to deny or revoke certification, even potentially resulting in an elected sheriff’s removal from office. A US Army veteran with over 33 distinguished years of law enforcement experience, including service as a Seattle Police Department captain and SWAT commander, Swank brings a firsthand perspective to the debate over government accountability, free speech, and the authority of elected sheriffs. We look at what a Thurston County judge ruled unconstitutional and what this means for voters and sheriffs. Twitter/X: @saveoursheriff New podcast: Sheriff Swank Uncuffed Robinett v.

58:13Informed Life Radio - 10-02-26 - Cash Pay Cost Sharing & Independent Medicine
Episode 386: Cash Pay, Cost Sharing & Independent Medicine What if health insurance isn’t the only—or even the best—way to pay for healthcare? Charles Frohman joins us to explain medical cost sharing, cash-pay medicine, Health Savings Accounts, Direct Primary Care, and the role of healthcare concierges in helping patients shop for doctors, tests, prescriptions, and procedures. We start with the basics: what medical cost sharing actually is, how it differs from insurance, what happens when a large medical bill arrives, what expenses may not be shareable, and how families can determine whether this model is right for them. We also look at what it means to become a price-sensitive healthcare shopper—asking what care actually costs, comparing cash prices, and directing healthcare dollars toward independent doctors, labs, imaging centers, and other practitioners. Charles explains why he believes restoring a more direct financial relationship between patients and practitioners can lower costs, expand provider choice, and help independent medical practices survive. We’ll also discuss how HSAs can fit into this approach, the 2026 changes affecting HSAs and certain direct-care arrangements, and practical first steps for families and small-business owners who want to explore alternatives without making a leap they don’t yet understand.

Stacy starts the show with a disclaimer about Carmex and a snack. It turns out Carmex is NOT addictive, it’s the cycle of dehydration and reapplication. What is addictive is Nerd Clusters and Eric just doesn’t get it. Clearly, he has not tried the crun-chewy concoction beloved by ADHDers and middle-aged women! Speaking of crun-chewy, Gertie is hating her new low-fat diet, and her resilience proves that like Chumba Wumba, she gets knocked down, but she gets up again. Eric has a type, roadside vacuums that are missing parts that can be replaced with the magic that is 3D printing – speaking of nerds! Thankfully with the money he saved on the vacuum he could afford to go see Pulp: What Do You Do for an Encore? Nothing like nickel and diming your joy. Meanwhile, in her quest to make friends, Stacy went to a Sip & Putt event her apartment building hosted and found out the hard way how strong it was which may have improved her short game! Stacy watched two movies for her CBS this week, Straight Talk with Dolly Parton and James Wodds and White Chicks with the Wayans brothers. The first was sadly just meh and the second is meh if you’re over the age of 45. Eric prepared for a special Seattle Symphony event featuring the music of Ennio Morricone by watching A Fist Full of Dollars with Clint Eastwood; a movie where Clint found his steely-eyed, loner, big screen identity and spaghetti westerns found their footing in Hollywood. Who knew there’s a whole genre of western movies helmed by Italian directors! As for holding it versus using the restroom on a plane, it all depends on your age and stage. Just don’t follow the trend of wearing adult diapers to a concert so you don’t need a bathroom break!

1:13:57Meandering Musings with Neil Peterson ep 158 Do I Need to Hire Someone Just to Be a Patient
In this candid episode of Meandering Musings, Neil shares a growing frustration familiar to many Americans: navigating the health-care system. Despite being healthy, persistent, technologically savvy, and financially secure, Neil finds himself overwhelmed by endless referrals, delayed appointments, missing records, phone trees, patient portals, and bureaucratic obstacles. He reflects on how patients have increasingly become their own schedulers, coordinators, and advocates, while asking the question: if someone like him struggles to navigate the system, what happens to those who are older, sicker, or less equipped to fight their way through it?

As Mary Stephenson and Robin Alexis tune into Linda's field, they facilitate a gentle somatic clearing to release lingering filament energies connected to Ricardo's crossing. What follows is a playful, effervescent session where Ricardo’s lingering presence brings laughter and affection, leaving Linda feeling physically lighter, bubbly, and grounded in her divine feminine strength.

53:32The Loretta Brown Show - 10-01-26 - The Art of Living Beautifully
Today, Loretta welcomes Vickie Menendez who is a transformational coach, inspirational speaker and author whose work explores grief, healing, self-care and the art of learning to live beautifully after profound change. Her own life has taken her through extraordinary loss, including the deaths of four of her five children, two of them only twelve days apart in 2023. Rather than allowing grief to become the final chapter of her story, Vickie transformed her experience into a mission of supporting others navigating loss, disconnection and life-altering transitions. With more than 35 years of experience in self-care and wellness, she brings together spiritual practice, energy work, breathwork, gratitude, intentional living, nervous-system awareness and sacred space to help people reconnect with themselves and rediscover strength, joy and purpose. Her evolving work includes The Art of Living Beautifully, The Art of Noticing, a 28-day gratitude journey, the Holistic Life Review, private and group retreats, and her Mind, Body, Soul and Sacred Spaces approach. Her philosophy invites us to honor the past without continuing to live there, embrace the life that exists now, and consciously participate in creating what comes next. Vickie is the author of Crystal’s Butterfly Effect: A Mother’s Journey from Loss to Transformation and Compass to the Soul: Your Healing Companion. Her message is perhaps best expressed in three simple words that have become central to her work: Pause. Breathe. Begin Again. For more information: https://vickiemenendez.com/

54:49What Happens When a Man Finally Stops Lying to Himself? | JR Harvey
In this eye-opening conversation, Glen Gilbert sits down with JR Harvey, founder of King's Community, to explore the hidden wounds driving so many men's struggles with relationships, identity, depression, isolation, and purpose. JR shares his own journey from drug dealing, failed coping mechanisms, and nearly losing everything to building a thriving community dedicated to helping men break destructive patterns and reclaim authentic leadership in their lives. Together, they unpack why so many men become "nice guys," how childhood experiences quietly shape adult relationships, and why approval-seeking often replaces genuine confidence and self-respect. The conversation dives into the four core "Nice Guy" archetypes, the dangers of isolation, men's mental health, divorce, shame, emotional suppression, and the critical difference between awareness and action. JR explains why so many men feel lost despite outward success, why authentic connection is impossible without knowing yourself, and how practical frameworks, accountability, brotherhood, and personal responsibility can transform lives. If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, boundaries, loneliness, purpose, or rebuilding after heartbreak, this episode offers powerful insights and actionable wisdom that could completely change how you see yourself and your relationships.

1:31:44Informed Life Radio 09-25-26 Never Miss Another Sunrise: Circadian Fitness with Zaid K. Dahhaj
Episode 385 | Never Miss Another Sunrise: Circadian Fitness with Zaid K. Dahhaj What if sleep, metabolism, energy, hormone signaling, and even how our bodies respond to food all have something fundamental in common: light and timing? Circadian biology educator Zaid K. Dahhaj joins us to explain why circadian fitness is foundational to human health—and why one of his most important recommendations is simple: never miss another sunrise. We look at what happens when unfiltered sunrise light reaches the eyes and how our light environment helps synchronize clocks throughout the body. We also tackle real life. What if you have to be at work before sunrise? What if your job keeps you awake at night? And what happens in places such as Alaska, where winter may bring only a few hours of daylight while summer brings almost none of the darkness our circadian system expects? Zaid also shares practical ways to strengthen the signals our bodies use to distinguish day from night, including daytime light exposure, darkness at night, sleep and wake timing, and meal timing.

55:36DAMTT- Owala, Aquafina, and Xenia
Remember Carmex? Stacy and Eric do and Stacy may have been addicted. The debate between “Is Pepsi ok?” and Diet Coke arises (can you tell who writes the show description by their names?). In considering what they’d “heist,” Brad Pitt’s affinity for constantly eating in the Ocean’s 11 movie leads to a conversation about Aquafina and the Oceanettes. Eric’s show at the Valley of course went well and when he heard Apple music is building a music venue at the Battersea Power Station naturally, they get thinking about an opening gig lineup. Eric confused an act of kindness for a scam, discussed his skincare routine, and shared Getie has pancreatitis which means no more bacon. Whereas Stacy has been wearing dresses, painting, and declaring war on art. For this episode’s CBS, Stacy watched From Here to Eternity while Eric continued his quest to experience the James Bond movies in order by watching GoldenEye with Pierce Brosnan, his favorite part might be the campy repartee between Bond and his tech guy. In watching The Thomas Crown Affair, he confirms that maybe Pierce is just a meh actor but acknowledges Rene Russo is stunning. As for working from home versus the office, it boils down to workplaces taking a page from the movie 9 to 5.

26:15Meandering Musings with Neil Peterson ep 157 Do You Want to Play?
In this episode of Meandering Musings, Neil reflects on an unexpected lesson from his grandchildren, who kept inviting him to do something adults often forget: play. Whether it was swimming, hunting for shells, digging for clams, building Jenga towers, or laughing through charades, Neil discovers that children engage in activities not for productivity or self-improvement, but simply for the joy of doing them. He explores how grandchildren can remind us that some of life's best moments don't need a purpose, a plan, or a payoff, just a willingness to say, “Yes, let's play.” Find Meandering Musings online at meanderingmusings.net Learn more about The Edge Foundation here edgefoundation.org

Widows, It's Time to Unite — Transmuting Systemic Weight and Finding Healing Beyond Loss In this remarkable first episode with guest Linda Devlin, Robin Alexis and somatic practitioner Mary Stephenson welcome a deeply seasoned perspective on navigating multiple losses. Linda shares the complex financial burdens and unexpected legal entanglements she inherited after the passing of her husband, Venu—a bright man whose late-stage Alzheimer's left him vulnerable to predatory financial agreements. Together, the hosts unpack how quickly patriarchal debt systems and sudden financial stress can become lodged in a surviving spouse's physical body, validating the heavy toll carried by those who must untangle complicated realities while grieving. Shifting from mental strain to profound release, Robin tracks the energy behind Linda's physical back pain while Mary guides a somatic and spiritual clearing. Through energetic contract release and violet flame breathwork, Linda is supported in laying down the inherited burdens of systemic debt and caregiving trauma. Clairvoyantly witnessing Venu's soul being lovingly cleansed and freed to move forward, this episode stands as a powerful testament to how grief can be alchemized into cellular freedom and new life, reaffirming our message: Widows, It's Time to Unite! You don't need to carry this alone.

54:26LHMF 09-22-26 Jeff Evans -Angels with misplaced wings returns
Angels with Misplaced Wings is a sanctuary in the Vancouver, WA area where differently-abled animals—both domestic and farm animals—can have a safe place to rehab and recover—and often stay for life. They get the special medical appointments and medicines they need and can live their lives out peacefully. A few years ago, a home building and maintenance company offered their services and some of their vendors’ services to provide, at no charge, some much needed repairs including the roof and some siding with water damage. But in the last year or so problems have arisen and now Angels is facing bugs, mold, a deteriorating roof and more water damage. They are not getting anywhere with those who donated the services and while the donation was much appreciated they are now facing almost more damage than they started with due to improper repairs. We’re trying to help by getting the word out to caring people. If you’d like to know more about how you can help, even if it’s just reaching out to request that the vendors make good on their promises, you can contact this organization directly via their website which is www.angelswithmisplacedwings.org I have visited their sanctuary at least twice and they do good and caring work—please check this out if you are moved to do so. Thank you!

Episode 384 | The 5 Biological Laws: Is Your Body Working Against You? What if symptoms we commonly view as ‘evidence’ that the body is malfunctioning are actually part of purposeful biological adaptations? Melissa Sell, DC, joins us to discuss Germanic New Medicine and the five biological laws—a radically different framework for understanding the relationship between an unexpected event, the psyche, brain, organs, microbes, symptoms, and healing. We look at the difference between the conflict-active and healing phases, why the same experience may affect two people differently, what recurring “tracks” can tell us, and how conflicts may be resolved through practical or perceptual solutions. We also ask where toxins, mold, injury, nutrition, and other external factors fit into this model—and what someone skeptical of Germanic New Medicine can examine for himself.

55:59DAMTT-Breakfast, Drag, and Radiators
Once again Stacy is in a good mood (read talkative). She’s on the heels of another trip and Eric is in his usual bemused with a dash of salty mood. Stacy shares stories about her stay at The Brewster House in Freeport, Maine (home to L.L. Bean) and the really freaking good breakfasts made by Dave! Somehow the conversation devolves into topics from the Gideon Bible and Rocky Raccoon to the mattress/pillow app and having luggage scales at every hotel/motel/b&b for souvenir happy travelers. Inside of focusing on these potential Shark Tank-worthy endevors, Eric and Battersea have practiced and are ready for their show at The Valley in Tacoma where they’re sharing the stage with The Honey Bee Breakfast and The Lame-O-Sexuals. Poor Eric tried to promote it but the Facebook AI bots kept flagging the ad…interesting since top AI execs are flagging AI in general – hmm. The exciting news is DAMTT got an email from listener Wes from PETA who was tickled by Eric using one of their animal-friendly phrases!! A listener and fun SWAG, yes please! For their CBS, Stacy went back in time a bit first to the early 80’s with Absence of Malice with a dreamy Paul Newman and Sally Field. A smart movie a la All the President’s Men with a premise about accuracy versus truth in journalism; a topic that still resonates today. Her second choice was To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar with Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes and John Leguizamo, a surprisingly poignant story about drag queens and their unexpected and at first unwelcome stop in middle America. Eric also watched two movies, David Lynch’s first movie from 1977, Eraserhead and packed-to-the-rafters with new (then) new talent, The Outsiders. Eric was surprised by how much he liked the former and by how much more he hoped for from the latter. As for new games, Eric showed how hip he is by suggesting chess and Stacy recommended Hitster because she IS hip!

Together, they explore the profound experience of losing not only a spouse but also a best friend, creative partner, and what Brenda describes as her twin flame.

Robin, Mary, and Brenda reflect on continuing bonds beyond physical death, the unique challenges of twin flame relationships, and the courage it takes to discover a new sense of safety and personal sovereignty while allowing love to continue in a different form. If you have experienced the sudden loss of someone you deeply love, this episode offers comfort, understanding, and the reminder that while life changes, love continues.

54:03Staying Power 09-16-26 Why Random Moments Can Tell Us So Much
Episode 137: "Why Random Moments Can Tell Us So Much" What if the most meaningful moments in your life are the ones you never could have planned? A random encounter at a wine bar. A stranger from your past in a Paris subway station. A butterfly on a hiking trail. JD and Ashley unpack how these unexpected collisions can crack open grief, spark joy, and remind you that presence is what turns coincidence into meaning. Ashley shares a deeply moving story about reconnecting with someone tied to a friend she lost, and the two of them dig into why certain moments hit so hard when you’re already carrying grief. Additionally, JD brings a powerful perspective of his own, describing how an out-of-the-blue reunion with an old connection became one of the most profound relationships in his life. Together, they explore the strange way randomness, memory, and emotion overlap in real time. You'll discover: -Why some random moments feel like signs -How grief can create unexpected connection -What it means to be present enough to notice the people and moments around you -Why “someday” can be a dangerous place to leave the things that matter -How accidental encounters can reveal just how much your life has changed They also wrestle with the bigger question underneath it all: are these moments pure chance, or do we build meaning around them after the fact? However you answer that, the episode makes a strong case that the outcome is what matters most. If a random moment helps you feel less alone, more awake, or more grateful to be alive, that’s a gift worth paying attention to. Perfect for anyone who loves thoughtful conversation, unexpected stories, and honest reflection on grief, memory, and the quiet magic of being out in the world.
