Rather than asking, "What's wrong?" she invites a different question: "What is this child, this person, or this moment perceiving that we haven't yet noticed?"Heart-Fueled Tools creates a shared language for recognizing, understanding, and working with what lives beneath behavior. Through playful puppet stories, Heart Breaths, and practical experiences, Jabbarah helps children and the adults who love them make sense of big feelings, strengthen connection, and cultivate greatness by recognizing the unique note within themselves and one another.Her hope is simple: to help retune the human conversation, one relationship at a [email protected] @HeartFueledToolsYou Tube Channel: @HeartFueledTools - Heart-Powered Breath Videoscarriemyersauthor.comyourselfprogram.combethesparkmovement.comsoulshineunbound.com@cjmyerspoet@yourselfprogram@bethesparkmovement@soulshineunbound I hope you have found one inspiration, hope and wisdom in today’s episode.

Anna Twinney is such a soul, a pioneer whose revolutionary path has transformed the very essence of horsemanship and animal communication. The Sacred CallingHer journey began not in the stables, but in the streets of Britain as a police officer, where she mastered humanity's most precious gift: the art of true listening. Beyond merely hearing words, she learned to understand the silent language that lives between utterances, the whispers that exist beneath the surface of communication. The Languages of ConnectionAnna is fluent in multiple spiritual dialects, serving as an Equine Behaviorist, Animal Communicator, Clinician, Coach, Speaker, Author, and Holy Fire Reiki Master. She embodies the understanding that true communication goes beyond verbal expression—it's an intricate dance of energy, intention, and profound mutual understanding that encompasses:The profound language of behaviorThe subtle language of energyThe intuitive language of the heartThe transformative language of healingAt the heart of Anna's transformative work lies three sacred powers: Truth, Trust, and Thoughtful Pause. Through her Reach Out to Horses program and The Way of the Equine Warrior non-profit organization, she continues to expand her mission globally.Anna Twinney stands as living proof that when we learn to listen with our hearts, we discover that the most profound conversations happen in the spaces between words, in the sacred silence where souls recognize souls.Reach Out to Horses®www.reachouttohorses.comEquine Specialist, Animal Communicator, Energy Healer, Author & SpeakerOffice: (888) 282-0656Dynamite Specialty Consultant: https://dynamitespecialty.myvoffice.com/atwinney/Intl Horse and Human Bemer Distributor: https://anna-twinney.bemergroup.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/AnnaTwinneyFacebook: www.facebook.com/AnnaTwinneyHolisticHorsemanshiphttps://www.facebook.com/ACwAnnaTwinney/carriemyersauthor.comyourselfprogram.combethesparkmovement.comsoulshineunbound.com@cjmyerspoet@yourselfprogram@bethesparkmovement@soulshineunbound I hope you have found one inspiration, hope and wisdom in today’s episode.

With 8 billion people on this planet, there are 8 billion ways to experience life, physically, spirituality, sexuality, emotionality, mentally.  We do not get to decide how anyone’s lived experience should make them think or act?When are we going to stop pushing people to live in the way WE think they should live?  True equality lies outside any box and any political ideology.  True love is boundless, expansive and healing.  Give it some thought and ask yourself, am I exuding love, peace and joy or am I stuck in and spreading fear, guilt and shame? carriemyersauthor.comyourselfprogram.combethesparkmovement.comsoulshineunbound.com@cjmyerspoet@yourselfprogram@bethesparkmovement@soulshineunbound I hope you have found one inspiration, hope and wisdom in today’s episode.

The years have been filled with a yearning to understand many traditions such as First Nations, Buddhism, Christian Mysticism, and Shamanism. Since the age of 50, the practice has intensified with shamanic teachings from Peru and a series of healings to the community with Sacred Sisters (Sisters of the Dancing Deer).A few years ago, a trip to Peru was highlighted by travel with a female shaman who took us to the peak of Salcantay mountain, where ceremony was held.

Send us Fan MailWhat does it mean to heal, face your trauma and find peace, acceptance and strength beyond trauma. Leslie Brooks shares her childhood story and how she used that trauma to create a thriving purpose to help others to heal from their struggles.  Hi, I’m Leslie Brooks. If you’re here, chances are you’re tired of carrying everyone else while abandoning yourself. You’ve probably done the therapy, you know your patterns, and yet—you still freeze when it’s time to speak up. You say yes when your whole body is screaming no. You manage everyone else’s moods, and in the process, lose track of your own.I get it. When dysfunction has been there since the beginning, it doesn’t feel like “trauma and then recovery.” It just feels like life. So when people ask what joy or safety feels like, you honestly don’t know. That’s why the work we do together isn’t about going back—it’s about restoring yourself forward.Here, you’ll learn:🔥 How to feel and trust the full-body f*ck no without regret.🌿 How to recognize and follow the full-body f*ck yes—the things that bring joy, safety, and calm.💪 How to stop living in other people’s reality and create your unf*ckwithable self—grounded, unapologetic, and finally free.This isn’t about more explaining or more overthinking. It’s about creating real change by working with your nervous system, your body, and your choices—one moment at a time.You don’t have to keep managing everyone else’s life at the cost of your own. If this resonates, let’s connect. I’d love to support you as you finally create a life your body can say a full-body yes to.  https://www.lesliebrooksclc.com/https://www.lesliebrooksclc.com/awwwcarriemyersauthor.comyourselfprogram.combethesparkmovement.comsoulshineunbound.com@cjmyerspoet@yourselfprogram@bethesparkmovement@soulshineunbound I hope you have found one inspiration, hope and wisdom in today’s episode.

Send us Fan MailThe death of Charlie Kirk, on September 10, 2025, has inspired a nation to talk, at least it appears to be the case three days after this tragedy.  The Be the Spark Movement inspires people to talk and bring us together in our humanity.  I think Mr. Kirk would approve.  One of the repetitive topics I speak on is FEAR!  How does fear affect our lives, our hearts, our souls and our interactions with other people?  How does fear keep us small, controlled, manipulated, easily removed from reality and ourselves?  How does fear keep us unhealthy and shattered?  What can we do about it?  How do we grow from fear, trauma, and the current climate of our world?  How do we defeat fear?  The Be the Spark Movement is creating a collaborative book called The Other Side of Fear, where authors talk about their fears, recognizing they live in fear, facing it, and healing it.  Everyone needs to read this book and write their own story of overcoming fear. Start with self-reflection and acknowledging where you are living in fear and ask yourself why.  Then seek the knowledge to work through it and come out almost fearless on the other side.  (You must keep the fear of bears chasing you, etc, because that fear keeps you safe.) Once you start healing your fears, you can begin to gather yourself from all the ways the media, politicians, church, education, friends, family, etc. has shattered your very soul and put yourself ack together with all the beautiful pieces that make you whole.Go love yourself!

Send us Fan MailWe all go through micro traumas or big T traumas in our life and those events can kink up the life path that we thought we were on.  Such events can and do also impact us for the rest of our life and can determine aspects of our relationships.  Even though we are often not responsible for these traumas, we are responsible for healing them within ourselves.  What does that healing look like?  When do you recognize that healing needs to take place and then excavate your pain and struggles? How can you begin to find gratitude in those challenges and be thankful for who you become because you chose to heal?  How can healing affect your relationships and create a better, more connected and fulfilling life? carriemyersauthor.comyourselfprogram.combethesparkmovement.comsoulshineunbound.com@cjmyerspoet@yourselfprogram@bethesparkmovement@soulshineunbound I hope you have found one inspiration, hope and wisdom in today’s episode.
