Eps 79: How to Fly (at will) in Your Dreams–guest, Robert Waggoner

Welcome to Spark My Muse!

DETAILS:
• Each FRIDAY, guests join me in a conversation.
• Come back each Wednesday
(on “Hump Day” aka Midweek) for a brief Soul School “lesson”–something for your interior world and common life.


HOW FUNDING WORKS:
Even though listening twice a week is free, Spark My Muse costs hundreds of dollars out of my own pocket each month to create, produce, and host online–and takes 25-30 hours of work per week too–which keeps me from making income to pay my own normal bills like food, electricity, and waterThe good news is that Listeners, like you, give so kindly (at over 3 times the average!!) to support the show. LISTENERS make the BIG difference – Thank you for helping too!

INTRO TO THE EPS 26:

Melissa Wilson didn’t just survive mistreatment as a child, she worked to heal from it, redeem it, and establish a platform to help sufferers and advocate for those who are suffering now or wounded from the past.

Melissa converses with me about how she found healing and the joy of transforming her pain into a thriving website and podcast that shares stories of victory, triumph, and overcoming great odds.

Don’t let your past define you. Here are some ways you can move forward and even find a valuable mission in life.
