  • Like a conversation with a friend

    The connection between me and the host was instant. The questions were deep, intimate.

    The conversation took its natural flow. We both shared many reflections from our personal life, which I think help to connect with the listener. It gives us human form, a human touch to the conversation.

    I am looking forward to more conversations with Sana.

    Always a pleasure as Sana is an amazing host. She is very tuned in and asks terrific questions. We explored the balance of masculine and feminine energies, love languages, and repeating negative patterns…and how these correlate with one’s cards to play. We are all born with cards to play. The Source Cards is an ancient system of knowledge that was hidden in plain sight!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Endometriosis and Chronic Pain: When Surgery Doesn't Help | Heather Yoshimura
Q: What did you exactly learn about your own body during that process?
Heather says she recognized that perfectionism and people-pleasing had disconnected her from her own needs and intuition. Learning to listen to her body and act more authentically became an important part of her recovery.
Endometriosis and Chronic Pain: When Surgery Doesn't Help | Heather Yoshimura
Q: What was it like for you inside?
Heather describes nearly ten years of daily pain, including pelvic pain, painful bladder symptoms, TMJ and IBS. After two excision surgeries failed to change her symptoms, she felt hopeless when a hysterectomy was suggested, then began exploring other possible contributors.
The Placebo and Nocebo Effect: How Belief Shapes Health with Dr. Janey Little
Q: What do you think about both these sides when we look at medicine or treatment holistically?
Little says she values her conventional medical training and continues to draw on it, while also using natural medicine. She favors combining approaches to address causes, support the body's healing capacity and consider the whole person.
The Placebo and Nocebo Effect: How Belief Shapes Health with Dr. Janey Little
Q: What is the placebo effect actually telling us about the relationship between the mind and the body's capacity to heal?
Little defines the placebo effect as a positive physical response associated with thought, belief and expectation, and contrasts it with the nocebo effect, which she describes as a negative response. She illustrates both with the story of Mr. Wright.
Frequency Healing Explained: Science, Risks & Real-World Experiences | Michael Upstone
Q: Have you thought about this, like how more and more people can actually get access to these machines, or maybe to the right information about these techniques?
Upstone says misinformation in online forums motivated his books. He cautions against copying settings without validating their biological effects and says treatment research should account for differences between people.
