the radical humanist

I'm DEADicating the entire month of March to the topic of Death.
...get it?....eh...DEADicating....damn I'm good.

I'll be exploring the physical, the emotional, and the spiritual side of what happens when we shuffle off this mortal coil. 
What happens?
Where do we go?
Is there really a Heaven?
Do worms in fact play pinochle on your snout?
How do you play pinochle?
So on and so forth.

Kicking off this month of muerte is Intuitive Medium, Deborah Hanlon.

Hosting a podcast like this one gives me an opportunity to speak one-on-one with some truly amazing people.
Deborah Hanlon is one of those people.

Despite what your personal opinions might be of mediums and mediumship, there is simply no denying Deborah’s extraordinary insight as well  as her unique perspective on the collective consciousness. She’s not an “I See Dead People” performer. But more of an “I Understand the Complete Picture” philosopher.
Both teacher and student. Professor and pupil. Deborah knows how ridiculous we all are. But also sees the potential we all have for collective awareness and super duper  cosmic awesomeness. 

I consider it a privilege to have her as my guest.

Deborah Hanlon is a Medium, Author and Teacher who lives to learn and teach fundamental energy consciousness principles, so that humans can reconnect to the True Nature and find balance.

Deborah mainly attributes most of her mediumship ability to the illness and death of her four-year-old brother, Christopher, when she was only three. Deborah believes that it was because she was so young and still so open that she knew very early on that her brother did not “die” as everyone else saw it.  Somewhere in her little mind and heart, she knew Christopher’s presence was always still here and she has been intrinsically determined to discover the ‘Proof” of the afterlife to share it with the world. The Proof came through a variety of mystical, unexplainable experiences that Deborah could not deny. Today, she is in the “Presence of Proof’ of an afterlife every day through working with her clients.  

HO
LE
SHIT

I honestly don't even know what to say about my conversation with Sam "Sammy Jo" Merton.
Nor do I think I have words adequate enough to describe her.
Sam is a goddamn force of nature.
Like a tornado...
With deltoids. ..
And glutes made of iron.
But she's not just your regular run-of-the-mill fitness enthusiast or gym rat.
Not even a little.
Sam is, first and foremost, a survivor.
And I don't mean that as some romantic metaphor.
The paramedics found her unconscious in a pool of her own blood. The victim of domestic abuse.
See, Sam wasn't always the confident badass she is now. Once upon a time, she was a morbidly obese kid with severe self esteem and self worth issues.
A childhood spent  numbing pain with food and eventually alcohol and drugs.
In and out of programs and bad relationships, she eventually ended up beaten half to death. Physically and emotionally.
But she survived. Because that's what she does.
She didn't give up because she doesn't know how.
Her story is not glamorous. It's fucking brutal.
But it's honest. It's real. And so is Sam.
And if her story doesn't move you, you might want to check yourself for a pulse.

This is a no shit, pull no punches, warts and all conversation and I promise, you do not want to miss it.

Thank you Sam for allowing me to help tell your story.

Ladies and Gentleman, introducing.....

The Appalachian Alchemist.
 The Tipsy Taverner.
 The Crafty Chronicler.
 The Rock-n-Roll Raconteur
 The Hot Rod HulaBilly himself.
 My friend and now yours, Mark Hooper.
 
 Mark and I go way back. A more genuine, earnest and affable guy you’re not likely to meet.
 He’s a rare breed. Campy yet charming. Engaging yet composed.
 A puzzling mixture of cornpone demeanor and cosmopolitan delivery.
 Mark is one of those people you’re lucky to know and blessed never to forget.
 And I think it’s time you got to know him good and proper.
 
 We had a topic we meant to cover, but no worries my friends, we’ll get to that next time.
 Right now, take your shoes off, put your feet up, get yourself a warm plate of biscuits and gravy and sit right back and you’ll hear a tale or two. Spun straight out of the Ozarks and right into your heart.
 
 Here is, Mark Hooper.
