Alicia Munian has been on an intense spiritual journey her entire life. Since she was younger, she could remember always being in tune with the world on a deeper level. She always had a wonderment for the stars and celestial bodies in the sky. From an early age, she experienced intense Lucid Dreams, where she was consciously in control of her vivid dreams. This made her contemplate the world in a deeper way, awakening her mind further to the different possibilities of reality.

As she got older, she had several profound experiences that put her in touch with the spirit realm in a deeper way, including seeing apparitions and predicting her own dog's passing. At the time she did not understand these experiences, but now she is able to understand and has comforted others who have had similar experiences.

After dealing with traumas during her teenage years, including having a parent battling cancer, by the time Alicia was in college, she developed severe depression. It is often during our darkest times that we truly awaken the light within. Alicia decided that she was going to heal herself, and put herself on a profound journey of healing and awakening.

​

Alicia started to learn more about meditation and started to teach herself this ancient practice as a way of healing. While she was learning, she had the opportunity to visit Thailand, where she met a Buddhist Monk that had an incredible impact on her. She continued to deepen her practice of healing. After she graduated from college, she began to study Metaphysics & Esoteric Knowledge through numerous renowned teachers in Long Island covering topics including Mediumship, Angel Card Readings, Healing Meditations, Reiki Energy Healing, Akashic Record Readings, and Channeling.

As a creative professional, it's crucial to have a good understanding of  the business aspects of your craft. This way, you can avoid working  with individuals who may seem qualified but lack the expertise to  support your goals. Investing in learning the business of your talent,  particularly in the early stages of your career, can pay off  significantly.  

On this week's episode, we're excited to have a guest who will share his  journey to becoming an author and stand-up comedian. Join us for a fun  and laid-back conversation, where we hope to make you laugh and enjoy  your time. 

About Jeremiah  

Jeremiah Ukponrefe is a Toronto-based author and stand-up comedian. He  has written articles for The Runner, The Reel Anna, and Envie Magazine.  His debut novel Hive was released in March 2021, the first of The Arcane  Volumes Series.  As a comedian, his style is a mixture of clever  observations with subversive darkness, all performed under a veil of  innocence. He's performed at the Island Fringe Festival, Guelf Fringe  Festival, and Victoria Fringe Festival.

He is the founder of the comedy  production company Punching Sideways Productions. He is really hoping  this comedy thing works out.  

About his book - HIVE   

The Collective military has spent its years destroying the last remnants  of The Hive, an alien force which devastated the old world, bringing  forth the apocalypse, and ushering in a new age of warring factions.   Alexander King is a Collective soldier who during a mission monitoring  the outskirts of Zone 6, discovers evidence that The Hive's presence is  stronger than commonly believed. 

With his new information, it becomes  vital that the Collective acts fast, for if they don't the world will be  brought to its knees again in a second wave of destruction that will  end humanity forever.   Astonishing, complex, and character-driven. Hive is the first in The  Arcane Volumes. A saga that will leave you begging for more.

Talk to you next week. 

Shyness can be a thief of Joy, Purpose and fulfilment, yet, there are  exceptions. And this happens when your passion and purpose are more prominent than any shyness you can ever have. This is the case with my  guest on the show today.  David was an extremely shy and timid young man. Still, when purpose called in the form of speaking and training others to speak and to lead exceptionally, his shyness took the back bench and he showed forth his oratory excellence to the awe of his audience.

My guest on the show today is Gift Preye Solomon a.k.a GPS. She is a  Nigerian living and doing business in Dubai. Currently a travel consultant. She started off with no job in the UAE and had to exit twice before she finally got a job as a call centre agent. She grew in her career over the years to become a supervisor.   

An opportunity came for her to be a delivery rider and she jumped on it.  Unknown to her that this would make her a record breaker as the first and only female delivery rider in the UAE. This singular decision opened her up to numerous opportunities one of which was her being one of the  75 faces of the UAE.   

As a
