Heartache, Health, and Healing

On today's podcast we’re diving into a conversation that’s full of wisdom, experience, and true healing power.

My guest is Dr. Tara Perry, and she brings over 25 years of hands-on experience helping people feel better—emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. From first responders and celebrities to teens and families, she’s worked with people from all walks of life, helping them shift and heal in ways they didn’t think were possible.

Dr. Tara is trained in all kinds of healing modalities—she’s a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, a certified Rapid Transformational Therapy therapist, and she’s studied with some of the biggest names in the world of wellness and personal development. 

She understands what it’s like to feel stuck or overwhelmed—and her work is all about helping people move through that with more ease, clarity, and compassion.

I think you’re going to get so much out of this conversation, whether you’re just starting your healing journey or looking for deeper tools to support your growth.

 I am excited for today’s podcast episode because we’re diving into something a little different but incredibly powerful.

My guest is Sifu Boggie—also known as Paul Brighton. He’s a Daoist guide and healer with over 40 years of experience helping people reconnect with themselves through ancient wisdom and hands-on healing. And when I say ancient wisdom, I mean it—he’s trained in all sorts of practices like Qigong, Tai Chi, energy work, bodywork, and more.

But what I love most about Sifu is his approach. He doesn’t believe in fixing people—he believes in helping people remember their own power to heal. His style is full of playfulness, curiosity, and a little storytelling magic that makes big ideas feel really simple and personal.

He’s had quite the journey—everything from working in law enforcement and baking pastries to becoming a teacher of self-healing and Eastern philosophies.

So if you’ve ever felt like your path was winding or unclear, I think you’re going to find a lot of peace and inspiration in what he shares today.

Today’s podcast guest is someone I really looked forward to getting to know—Leslie Hocker. This was actually our first conversation, and was excited to learn more about her story right alongside you.

Leslie has done a lot over the years. She started out as one of the youngest female executives in the petroleum industry, went on to open Houston’s first Pilates studio, and has been involved in personal development and coaching for decades. She’s even been a part of some of Tony Robbins’ earliest NLP and firewalk events and later became a certified NLP trainer herself.

Now, she works with her husband—to mentor entrepreneurs and help people reinvent their lives in a way that feels aligned and intentional.

On today's podcast episode, I’m joined by Edit B Kiss — a holistic mentor, success habit coach, and international speaker who helps people release emotional pain, raise their frequency, and reconnect with their true selves.

Edit spent 15 years as a petroleum engineer before stepping fully into the world of healing and personal growth. Since then, she’s worked with people around the world, blending ancient wisdom and neuroscience to help them find peace, purpose, and joy — without spending years stuck in the past.

We’ll talk about how she made this massive life shift, how she helps others step into their own healing, and why she believes joy and fulfillment are possible for all of us — no matter where we’ve been.

My guest on today's podcast is Thomas LaGrave — he’s a licensed clinical social worker, a bestselling author, and the founder of Honor Bound Academy, which is a year-long program in California that supports teen boys as they work through some of life’s toughest stuff.

Thomas has spent over 35 years working with thousands of young men, helping them navigate the ups and downs of growing up — especially when life hasn’t been easy. His work is grounded in his own story — including his time in the Navy, his journey through recovery, and his commitment to meeting people where they are.

We’ll be diving into the heart behind his latest book, Special Welfare. Social Warfare, and the lessons he’s learned from walking with thousands of young men through some pretty tough terrain.
