  • S2-Ep 27: Patti Fields - Dreams, Messages, and Spiritual Guidance
    Apr 30 2024

    Meet Patti Fields: Patti is a spiritual guide and dream interpreter. She asks questions such as: "Why do people suffer? How can we be free of pain? What is the purpose of suffering?" These questions were swirling around in Patti Fields’ mind the day she buried her baby, Amanda, after a tragic pregnancy loss. Reaching out for guidance, that night she experienced her first spiritual dream and she experienced a natural opening to the healing power of the spiritual realm.

    Patti’s quest for answers led her to the teachings and practices of A Course in Miracles, during which time her spiritual dreams and visions became numerous and profound. Applying the guidance she received to situations and relationships her negative belief patterns, grievances, and unhealthy self-concepts fell away.

    Patti’s desire to help others prompted an unexpected spiritual dream where she met her spirit guide, who taught her how to channel messages while awake. The numerous transformational messages Patti receives are foremost for herself. Yet, she willingly shares these teachings to support your healing and connection to Divine wisdom.

    Follow along to learn more about Patti, her books, and the guidance she shares with her clients. Links are in bold above.

  • S2-Ep 26: Jme Bonfiglio - The Founder of Whole Sun Wellness - Mycology and Therapeutic Mushrooms
    Apr 22 2024

    Today we dig into the dirt with a visionary founder in the production and supply chain for Functional Mushrooms. You'll learn everything you need to know about these powerful complementary supplements and how to source them for your own benefit.

    Jme Bonfiglio, a trailblazer in the field of mycology, has dedicated her life to exploring and educating others about the myriad benefits of mushrooms. With a childhood immersed in tribal healing practices, mushrooms have been a cornerstone of her health and wellness journey. Her profound expertise and innovative mushroom-based formulas have garnered international acclaim and demand.

    Before founding her own company, Jme honed her skills with Host Defense in Utah and collaborated with Nammex as a supplier. Her experience in the industry revealed a troubling lack of transparency and quality in mushroom supplements – a market rife with substandard extraction methods and multi-sourced raw materials. Determined to set new standards in the industry, Jme established WholeSun Wellness in 2017.

    WholeSun Wellness, under Jme‘s visionary leadership, offers an unparalleled product in the market: whole mushroom extracts that are not only clinically potent but also with verified therapeutic compounds. These products are free from additives and artificial ingredients, with a transparent and traceable production process. Jme‘s commitment to overseeing every step, from cultivation to processing, ensures the highest quality.

    In just five years, WholeSun Wellness has transformed from a modest startup into a major player in the industry.
