Today's guest is Amy Scott Grant. Amy is a Master Intuitive Healer with an uncanny knack for going straight to the root issue to get you "clear" in a twofold manner: first, her masterful display of intuition sheds light on the areas that have kept you stuck and frustrated, illuminating the answers and the underlying causes. Next, Amy uses her own unique clearing methods to completely dissolve and shift your underlying issues to quickly and permanently resolve your biggest problems.
The experience of working with Amy is not only powerfully effective and fast — it's fun and fascinating, empowering and enlightening, and best of all — hilarious. Unlike other clearing methods where you must re-live the pain and emotional trauma, Amy's unique style brings levity and perspective, making the experience light and spritely.
Always passionate, occasionally brash, but never mainstream, Amy calls it like she sees it in every situation. She has coached and mentored tens of thousands of individuals in more than thirty different countries, helping them to create rapid breakthrough results by permanently clearing millions of blocks, doubts, fears and limiting beliefs, at the deepest core level.
In September 2013, Amy was inducted into the National Academy of Bestselling Authors and received a prestigious Quilly award at the Golden Gala Awards in Hollywood, California. She was also a Thought Leader of the Year Finalist in 2013.

Today's guest is Omar Pinto. Omar has been in recovery for eleven years now. But before recovery, he spent 4 years in denial about being a drug addict. His drugs of choice were predominantly alcohol and cocaine but he'd settle for pot, ecstasy, mushrooms or whatever was at the party.
During those 4 years, he lost his business, his friends and business partners disowned him, and his wife left him. Omar's health was very poor and he was even exhibiting severe symptoms of schizophrenia and paranoia.
It wasn't until his daughter was born and he held her in his arms for the first time that he truly surrendered and accepted that alone he could not win the battle against drugs and alcohol. In that moment, he experienced his first spiritual awakening and asked the God of his understanding to relieve him of his drug addiction, if only for the sake of his daughter.
That is the moment his journey in recovery began. He turned his life over to the care of God and began to feverishly work a 12 step program of recovery. Omar's Higher Power restored him to sanity and today he lives a life beyond his wildest dreams.
So what does he do next? He pays it forward. Omar gives back what was freely given to him, each and every week on his podcast, SHAIR (Sharing Helps Addicts in Recovery), where you can listen to addicts and alcoholics share their inspiring success stories of recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
You can find out more about Omar and his show at www.TheSHAIRpodcast.com.
