Read MoreMoney coach Dave Ramsey talks about the importance of “feeling money” as it passes through our hands. It’s easy to spend foolishly when we’re just waving credit cards through machines or authorizing direct withdrawals from digital accounts. It’s much harder to make bad money decisions when we have to remove hard currency from our wallets…

Susan Peirce Thompson knows something about addiction. Starting at age 14, she lurched from addiction to addiction, finally getting clean and sober at age 20. Years later, in grad school, she had become obese, and found that she was powerless to control – or even understand – her cravings and binges.
Unlike drugs, food was a must-have; she couldn’t simply abstain. When she discovered a method that had been refined, trial-and-error fashion, by food addicts in the 12-step community, she jumped on board and quickly went from size 16 to size 4.
Susan is now a tenured psychology professor with a PhD in Brain and Cognitive Sciences, and teaches a college course on the psychology of eating.

When Sharon Livingston was a kid, her parents were kosher caterers and she had to watch them nourish the world while, often, ignoring her. She doubled her weight between ages 9 and 12, and had to deal with being “the fat girl” all through high school.

Kerry Kay is a tango dancer, energy healer, motorcycle rider, and dear friend.
As you’ll hear, she performed a Reiki healing on me many years ago, when I didn’t believe in that sort of thing.
I went on not believing, even as I experienced something pretty remarkable (if not downright miraculous).
Over the years, my own attitudes have softened; the more I know about science, the more I realize science doesn’t know.
So if you’re willing to “go there” with us, you’re in for a fascinating glimpse into the heart and mind of a healer.

Julie Piatt is a musician, plant-based chef and healer, yogi, home-schooling mom, cookbook author, and contributor to MindBodyGreen.com.
She’s also the muse and support system that her husband Rich Roll leaned on to transform himself from sedentary, junk-food and late-night TV addicted couch potato to one of the world’s fittest men in the span of just a couple of years. (Read his story in his bestselling book, Finding Ultra.)
In some sense, Julie “lived the fantasy”: influencing her spouse to change in a big way.
Don’t most of us have a fantasy like that? If not about our spouse, then about our kids, or co-workers, or boss, or politicians, or customer-service reps on the other end of the phone, or – probably most common – ourselves?
