  • 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!
