What a beautiful guest I had on my podcast. All I could hear in my head after was the song verse by Whitney Houston " I believe the children are our future, teach the well and let them lead the way, show them all the beauty they possess inside ...". This truly speaks to what Lorraine feels in her heart. She is passionate about helping young people become leaders and teaches them the skills in her program. Lorraine shares the incredibly tough journey she had towards the end of her career as a teacher, yet through all the darkness that she encountered and endured, she has now found love and light. If you are the parent of a young pre-teen or young teen who needs some extra support, please listen to this or share it with someone who might need to hear it. The children are our future and we need to give them all the support and guidance we can.

It was such a honor to have Wendie on the podcast today. She is a woman of many talents and has a heart of gold.
Wendie shares her story which is just incredible. Her passion ever since she was a young girl was to help others. Growing up in Los Angeles it was never expected of her to do more than get a good job. Wendie had a different idea. She excelled in school and in the positions she held. She explains this in her story and how it led her to the opening her own business, one that offers coaching to entrepreneurs and non profit organizations that give back to the community. With some little surprises about how she runs her business not the typical way but with heart and maybe what some may call a little woo woo energy.
Be sure to have a listen to this podcast and if you would like to reach out to Wendie you can find her at:

Such a beautiful soul is Vivian Victor Locke. I had the please of meeting them at a local cafe called Shady Grove Lukaya Cafe where they did a Tarot reading for me. In our conversation today we shed some light on using pronouns. Vivian goes by they/them and we talked about this. For myself I was unsure of what I was supposed to say and didn't want to be rude or ignorant. Vivian truly helped explain the meaning. They also shared their story of how they got to where they are today and shared some insight in a psychic reading with Tarot cards too. Have a listen this is such an informative podcast and a beautiful example that no matter the darkness their is light and love, you just have to believe in yourself.
Vivian can be found on instagram @vivianvictorlocke_ where you can book an appointment through DM to have a session with them!

A Little Bit About Me
My life changed in 2019 when I was diagnosed with Cancer. Not for the worse but actually for the better. I found crystals. I loved that these natural gems from the earth offered healing energy. I started making bracelets and selling them on Etsy. I created bracelets to help with mental, physical and emotional conditions as well as some just for the beauty of the crystal. It really made my heart feel so good to know I was offering something to help others feel better. I made sure to explain this was not a replacement for modern medicine but a complimentary modality.
Then in 2021 I lost my son to Alcoholism at the young age of 35. A pain I thought I would never heal from. I decided to enroll in a crystal healing practioner course and became a certified Crystal Healing Practioner in June of 2023. This really helped me along in my journey of grief, and my wish was to help others dealing with grief and addiction. I felt I was missing something though, I could help people locally but wanted to be able to support people all over the world.
I then studied Reiki. I received my Reiki Master & Teaching Certification on February 18, 2024. With this modality not only can I use Reiki but I can also incorporate Crystals into the healing sessions. Offering Distance Reiki allows me so much more opportunity to help others around the world and that brings me so much joy. I am currently 60 years old and want to be an example that you can heal, you can grow and you can help others no matter what age you are. My newest adventure is this Podcast - From Darkness to Love and Light. A place where women can share their stories or inspiration and hope.
From my hands to your heart I am sending you love & light, Lynda
