983 | Lost & Found: A Soul-Searching Journey Across the World with Johanna Kovrig

983 | Lost & Found: A Soul-Searching Journey Across the World with Johanna Kovrig I’m Johanna Kovrig, and I’ve spent my life questioning what it truly means to be human. Ever since I can remember, I’ve felt different, like I was dropped off on the wrong planet. I’ve always been deeply sensitive, picking up on things others seemed to miss, and wondering why the world felt so overwhelming at times. That curiosity led me on a journey across different countries and careers, from teaching English in Spain and Hungary to working in Waldorf education in Scotland, and even providing elderly care in the UK. Every experience deepened my understanding of people, emotions, and the invisible undercurrents that shape our lives. But no matter where I went or what I did, one question kept tugging at me: Is there more to this life than meets the eye? Now, back in the “real world,” I continue to explore what it means to live as an empath, a dreamer, and a seeker in a fast-moving world. My jour…

980 | Rebecca Harrison’s Inspiring Journey Rebecca Harrison grew up a hippy kid in the Kootenays of British Columbia; Nakusp, then Nelson. Her two older brothers and sister bossed her and babied her too. The neighbourhood was filled with kids.

She got to explore her creativity early with dance, skating and drama. She also spent hours and hours reading her favourite books, and creative writing, dreaming of the day she would be a famous novelist.

Cody Peterson is a recovering alcoholic/drug-addict with over eleven years clean and sober. He has been fascinated by spirituality and religion since adolescence, although he struggled to maintain a spiritual connection, spending many years trying to get clean and sober.

In addition to practicing the Twelve Steps, Cody has rekindled his love of academic literature regarding spirituality and religion, and in 2019 he was led to the writings of C.G. Jung.

853 | Building Community & Compassion with Zak Clayton

Zak Clayton, a man who knows firsthand the power of community and compassion, founded Clayton Consulting & Event Planning LLC (CCEP) out of a simple yet profound realization: everyone deserves a helping hand. His journey began on June 5th, 2015, when a motorcycle accident altered his path. Despite the unexpected detour, Zak found solace in the outpouring of support from friends, family, and local businesses during his recovery. Yet, amidst this wave of generosity, he noticed a gap in assistance for those constrained by financial limitations. When he went to apply for assistance he was denied because of the money he made in the previous year. This made healing even harder than it was before. Determined to fill this void, Zak embarked on a mission to create a program that would uplift individuals facing adversity after January 1st.

Jill is boldly stepping out and vulnerably admitting that as a result of her own sexual trauma at age 4, she innocently and curiously experimented with other children when she was a child herself. For 41 years she lived with a dark cloud of shame and self-loathing over her head, thinking she was alone. Finally, after years of praying for her purpose, she finally realized her life’s work is to release people from shame and change the lens through which people see how children who have been sexually abused experiment with other children. Jill brings this taboo topic to the light so that people can get beyond the shame and live the life of their dreams. Whether or not you have suffered from sexual abuse or if you have a secret, Jill’s approach to letting go of any kind of shame will leave you free to create a space for love, success, and abundance.
