JJ Duncan is a storyteller, a lost craft in this fast paced world. As an executive producer & showrunner, JJ has been telling stories for years in the tv & film industry, but these days, the story she shares is the one of her son, Mason, who died of Leukemia in 2020. JJ recently attended our Soul Mamas' event at Big Heart Ranch in Malibu, and shared Mason's journey through cancer with 45 grieving souls. With nurturing guidance she encouraged and emphacized the importance of continuing to tell our loved ones stories.

Mason's story continues to change lives through JJ's advocy through Not Today Cancer, a non-profit formed by her and wife, Stacy Book. NTC sponsors an annual 5k Run in Los Angeles to stop cancer in it's tracks and has partnered with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to help cancer patients with medical debt. JJ recently traveled to DC, representing NTC,to discuss the Lower Cost Medical Transparency Act (LCMT) with Congress and the Senate...we need more JJs in the world!

Harrison Carhart is no stranger to trauma. As an EMT, he faced many dire circumstances as a first responder. In this episode, Harry talks about the need to 'bridge the gap' in the mental healthcare system and his take on why mental health support and awareness must be a priority in our country. This is personal. Harry is the older brother of my son, Hayden, who we lost to suicide June 29, 2022.

Colin Reef lost his daughter, Kyla, in 2019. When Karen and I met him at Compassionate Friends, we took note of his contribution to the group discussion which always brings a well received wave of spiritual intuition and comfort to the room. His faith and enthusiasm is contagious as are the outstanding books he selflessly gifts to the group. We are so grateful for Colin's insight into the spiritual realm and his metaphysical curiosity about the other side.
