Ep. 925 – From Injustice to Redemption with Deon Patrick Feb 27, 2025

Show notes

“One of the things I do take solace in is the fact that my mother passed away when I was 16, so she didn't have to bear witness to me going through…because I think it would have killed her just to see her baby in bracelets fighting for his life.” – Deon Patrick

Today’s featured author is a grandfather, advocate, and speaker, Deon Patrick. Deon and I had a chat about his book, “The Hazel Boyz: The Trials of Four Innocent Men”, his story of being falsely imprisoned and left to battle a corrupt system, life after prison, and more!!

Key Things You’ll Learn:

What led Deon to getting falsely imprisoned with three other men

How he and his co-defendants maintained contact in prison

The psychological effects of being imprisoned

What’s it like to navigate society and be a grandfather after being wrongfully convicted 20+ years ago

How wrongful actions by officials impact taxpayers

Ep. 924 – Awakening Through Yoga and Storytelling with Karuna (@LOKundalini) Feb 24, 2025

Show notes

“Voice is the most valued part of yoga. How you communicate and how you are received and heard as a student, as a teacher, as a divine human being. When your voice has not been heard, how does one open this channel? Yes, chanting for sure. Yet a deeper exploration has to be heard from within, a longing to be heard.” - Karuna

Today’s featured bestselling author is a mom, celebrated Yogini, ordained minister, founder of lightonkundalini.com, and co-founder of Light on Light Publications, Karuna. Karuna and I had a fun on a bun chat about her book, “Light on Kundalini: Your Lifestyle Guide to Yoga and Awakening”, the healing power of early morning rituals, and more!!

Key Things You’ll Learn:

What inspired Karuna to write her new book

Her teaching journey and the significance of self-awareness in yoga

Why being impersonally personal helps in handling life's challenges

What a pigeon taught Karuna about detachment

How Karuna sets a transformative tone for her days
