    Ep: 018 - Sarka Risch
    Oct 5 2022
    I was born in the Czech Republic, studied law in the Czech Republic with my post-graduate studies in Germany. As I always wanted to study in a foreign language, I realized it - my grant, found a professor as a tutor and in October 1999 I moved to Germany. In October 2003 I got married with a German guy, stayed in Germany and as my law studies was not acknowledged, I studied economics, marketing and tourism for 3 years in Germany, every 3 months I worked in a tourism company and other 3 months I went to the University. As I love mountains so much and I really wished to live in the Swiss Alps, I find an internship in South Switzerland (it was the 3 last months of the practical studies). After finishing my diploma in Germany, in September 2007 I moved to Switzerland. My German husband was not so happy about that, he came one month later to Switzerland and two years later we got divorced. Since September 2007 I am living in Switzerland - I worked every time in marketing and tourism and I moved around to get different experiences. I've lived in South Switzerland, St. Moritz in the east, Interlaken and Bernese Oberland and now in the Central Switzerland, at the Lake Lucerne. After covid hit the tourism sector, I developed myself in digital marketing and especially in LinkedIn marketing and one year ago I started my business with LinkedIn where I take care of LinkedIn accounts of CEOs and C-Level executives, or I coach them how to realize their goals with LinkedIn efficiently and strategically or I teach my experiences and knowledges during LinkedIn workshops/ presentations in companies and at Universities.

    Ep: 014 - Davidica Little, Spotted Horse - (In Her Own Words)
    Sep 7 2022
    DAVIDICA LITTLE SPOTTED HORSE (In Her Own Words) I am a singer/songwriter from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. If I had to describe my lyrics in three words it would be, "heartfelt, personal, and passionate." My songs are about love, loss, hope, and happiness, I believe these are feelings all human beings deal with. My songs are my connection to my inner self. All of the songs I wrote are about my own life and the two I co-wrote with my brother Isnal-Wica Belt are about his struggles. The song "Aaron's Song" my brother and I wrote together is for his best friend Aaron Lakota because we wanted to give him a gift for being such a important part of our family and to voice that we understand what he's going through. I am a singer/songwriter first and foremost I just happen to be native, but more than anything I am a human being. So, I humbly give all my songs to humanity no matter what your race because we can all relate to the human condition... life. I've always had a dream I would leave something behind to make my mark in history for my future descendants. My music is my gift to them. My children are my biggest supporters and the reason I recorded this album. I cherish my children, my extended family and my friends every day.

    Ep: 013 - Nina Lorene Hermann
    Aug 31 2022
    Nina is originally from Lawrence, Kansas and moved to Florida in 1998 while in college when her family relocated to Bradenton, Florida. She graduated from the University of Tampa with a B.S. in Finance. In 2001, she was commissioned into the U.S. Army and served as a Finance Officer for just over 7 years, serving overseas in South Korea and completed a Combat tour in Iraq. She honorably ended her term of service in 2008 due to the constant pain her body.  Following her military service, Nina started searching for answers that would alleviate her pain without having to take the prescribed pain medication, as she knew the medication was not helping the health of her body as a whole and merely just taking the edge off her pain.  Nina became a Certified Rolfer, Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, along with several other certifications and had a mobile wellness business.  She also started studying food healing and opened a healthy food truck.  However, through her work, she recognized the impact and power of the mind and thoughts on wellness. In 2017, frustrated in working on her own mindset, she choose to pursue another passion, Real Estate, while she continuing her journey of personal development and growth in healing and spiritual connections.   Nina was introduced to an Astrologer while in the Army who helped her understand the pain in her body was from doing something she wasn’t in alignment with and the lack of self expression.  Nina grew up with significant learning disabilities; reading and words were incredibly challenging for her.  Therefore, since she didn’t have the words to express what she wanted to say, she held everything in.  The astrologer encouraged her to start taking photos and painting, just putting color on paper to express herself.  It was one of the most profound elements that has impacted her life.  Not only is painting a form of expression, she also communicates and receives messages from her guides in doing so.  She will tell you, she is no artist, but the color represents healing letters to the heart.     In 2020, when the pandemic hit, she knew she had to return to healing and wellness, as the world needing healing and understanding not from the virus, but from the fear and isolation induced.  It took a couple of years before diving back full time to the healing and wellness space.  Nina is a full-time RV’er and loves to explore nature and travel.  She feels her purpose in this life is as a healer and messenger, empowering others to connect more fully to themselves, our creator and others, as we all have the ability to heal ourselves.  Nina experienced many years of feeling helpless and lifeless and she now embraces and wants to feel alive and truly live and help others do the same.    Nina is currently studying breathwork and German New Medicine, of which both she has found to be extremely profound.  Nina is coaching others and creating healing and wellness programs utilizing all that she has encountered along her journey to coach and educate others on their journey.  She is also preparing to launch wellness retreats in the near future.
