How Neo Emotional Release Changed My Life - Derek Glenn Larson
Derek Glenn Larson is a Neo Emotional Release Practitioner who is passionate about guiding you toward emotional liberation and authenticity. Derek leverages the power of somatic work and emotional release to help you break free from emotional chains and express your true self.
Derek's professional journey kicked off as an associate marriage and family therapist and life coach, but he soon realized that his true calling was on a slightly different path. During a period of personal exploration, he discovered the incredible potential of somatic work and emotional release to help him overcome his own challenges of binge eating, feeling not enough, stuck, and unfulfilled. He understands the hurdles that can come with expressing your genuine self, and he is on a mission to help others embrace their authenticity, break free from limitations, and experience the freedom of being themselves.

Creating a New Reality Through Self-Mastery - Andrea Lowell
ANDREA LOWELL is a Self Mastery Mentor from Long Beach, CA. After spending over half of her life in the entertainment industry, she discovered it's not "being on TV," having a house on the beach, or a cool car in the driveway that equates to success. In fact, she was most miserable when she "had it all.”
Andrea used her own despair and hopelessness as the fertile ground for radical self improvement and personal growth. After an instant spiritual re-awakening in 2012, she put herself to work; inner work. And also further incorporated her decades of research of Quantum Mechanics, Ancient Wisdom, and Self Healing! She discovered that by uncovering her core essence through radical self awareness, and coupling that with harnessing Universal and Natural Law, she not only became a manifesting master, but also Self Mastered!
She put this blueprint-for-bliss into a mentorship program, "The I AM Everything Project,” at the suggestion of a client. She has now guided countless others, from any and all stages of their current personal development, personal pain, stagnation, or frustration, into Self Mastered beings! Her formula is proven and simple. She has discovered that by integrating her knowledge into a daily lifestyle, she has uncovered the keys to living drama free, guilt free, shame free, and full of Self Worth, Self Love, joy, purpose, and ABUNDANCE!
Andrea Lowell is happily married to her partner of 20 years, James. They love to spend as much time in Nature as possible, opting to overland and backpack for their vacations. They have found that the less they desire, the more they have and the more they receive. Inner peace and Bliss are what Andrea has found to be the result of her lifestyle and outlook on life.
In this episode, you'll hear...
- How she transitioned from Playboy to self mastery coach.
- Why she believes we can create a new reality.
- What is self mastery and why it’s so important.

Falling In Love With Yourself Through Human Design - Crystal Mo-Wong
CRYSTAL MO-WONG has always found comfort in her faith. She was raised in a Christian home where she found a foundation of connecting with the Creator and living selflessly. Over the years, she found her faith to be a tremendous place of comfort, but the ways she heard others express their understanding of that same faith felt limiting and not inclusive enough. She began to explore. Almost buried away, she rediscovered her values of wholeness, acceptance, and connectedness that have become the core of what she desires to share with others. An 8th grade math teacher, who also facilitates therapeutic art with her students, a wacky tree lover, Certified Breathwork Facilitator, and Certified Human Design Coach, Crystal uses all these contexts to help paint a better world for her students, friends and family, and especially her two young children.
In this episode, you'll hear...
- How she became interested in Human Design and how it has impacted her life.
- Where Human Design originated and what it’s all about.
- The five Human Design types and how they are unique.
