Lisa Bournelis is a mom, taekwondo black belt, healthcare change
consultant, and former humanitarian aid worker. She has served all
over the world, from Africa to the Balkans to Afghanistan.
Inspired by her child's experiences with OCD during the pandemic,
she wanted to uplift children struggling with anxiety during this
extraordinary time, by showing that they are heroes of their own
stories, and by sharing a hopeful message that adjustments to the
way we think can transform our circumstances.
Louie's world is getting smaller with each passing day. An
authoritarian mastermind has set out to control his every move. To
make matters worse, there is an unknown virus infecting the world,
forcing everyone to lock down in their home.
Playdates, soccer games, and even his birthday party are cancelled!
Outside the confines of his room lies a world of darkness: the
calamitous cracks, the rock of evil, the steps of doom. Even the food
and air are poisoned. As the Dictator continues his onslaught, Louie
worries he will be imprisoned forever in the solitude of his home, with
only his Tales of King Arthur and his anxious rescue pup, Baily, for
company.
Louie's dreams of living an ordinary day are shattered when his
beloved Baily is lost in the forest. With the Dictator and his dark
forces closing in, will he muster the courage to face his fears, lead a
rescue, and bring his furry friend home?

You're Never Going To Make It
Kimberly Vega is truly an inspiration to us all. In her story you will find tales (but, all true) about her experiences with Love, The Lack of Support from her own family and her courage to start her own.
This Episode is considered EXPLICIT and contains adult language and talks of physical violence and sexual abuse. Listeners Discretion is Advised.
Kimberly entered the world into a family who wasn't very proud of her. She was too loud, to mouthy, to disobedient. They always told her she would never make it. Facing massive rejection from her family and most of her peers she found herself accepting love from a young man who would become an abusive partner.
Kimberly would escape this abuse by entering the Army. She didn't care where she ended up as long, she had the chance to start a new life. As time went on, she wanted to do more, move up in rankings and at a very young age was offered the opportunity to work in The Pentagon at just 19 years old.
Kimberly would quickly find as a young woman with not enough years under her belt (regardless of the knowledge and wisdom she carried) She would face multiple challenges and obstacles with her male coworkers for 20 years, learning to be quiet and just timid enough until she became their Boss.
Kimberly would eventually find herself at a loss with trying to make an impact inside of those walls and set out to take charge of her own life and emotions.
She would free herself from the burdens of working at The Pentagon by accepting the offer to attend a Reiki class with her friend. This class was a pivotal moment for Kimberly and set her on a new path to healing.
Kimberly now works full-time as a Reiki Practitioner and Sound Healer right in the heart of Washington D.C. You can have sessions with her online and in person.
Kimberly has dedicated her life to Reiki, spreading awareness, and love throughout all of her clients lives. You can find her at Zenith Soul Reiki on our Website under Other Resources or at www.zenithsoulreiki.com
