Jon Lovgren shares his journey of awakening. From getting clean and sober, to discovering the forgiveness techniques of ho'oponopono, Jon's path is that of self love, the tenacity to be yourself, and the healing journey we all must face someday.

This is a fascinating discussion into the esoteric.

ABOUT JON LOVGREN:

Jon Lovgren has been studying religious texts, Kabbalah, metaphysics, quantum physics, psychology, and philosophy for over 40 years culminating in the ancient Hawaiian practice of ho'oponopono.

Jon has been researching and practicing ho'oponopono for over 12 years. Jon moved to Hawai'i in 2012, the birthplace of ho'oponopono, to gain a deeper understanding of its origin and how to practice it at deeper levels. This process brings us into full self-empowerment and self-actualization through self-forgiveness.

Jon weaves quantum physics, metaphysics, religion, neuroscience, and simple common sense into a blanket of easy-to-understand tools that make it simple to practice complex principles, guiding us to the evolution of the person we are meant to be.

Jon provides private one-on-one, couples and family sessions as well as facilitating numerous events ranging from 2-hour Talk Story to 7-day intensive workshops.

Imagine entering a maximum security prison in order to interview a murderer. That's exactly what Dr. Wendy Smith did in order to get to the root cause of adult violence.

Dr. Smith has a fascinating interview with Brad on the motives behind The Menendez Brothers murders, and what drove them to kill their parents, along with her latest book, Before Their Crimes: What We're Misunderstanding about Childhood Trauma, Youth Crime, and the Path to Healing.

Juvenile crime doesn't just happen-there is always a story behind it. And Dr. Smith gives us clues for healing.

A dedicated youth advocate, Dr. Smith was both a commissioner and chair of the Los Angeles County Commission for Children and Families, serving for eight years.
