Death Valley Girls Podcast

This week we have hero Renee Ruin! Renee is one of the coolest people in the world, and does too many cool things to list here! I would say if she’s into you, you should check it out, she has perfect taste! She’s also putting out a new podcast soon so keep your eyes peeled for that. Renee is a mental health ambassador and here we talk a lot about mental health and the stigma around medications and how difficult it can be to get help. But, we also talk about how lucky we both are that we did get help! This is a good one, excited for y’all to hear it!Renee's Websitehttp://www.reneeruin.com/?m=1 Hosted on Acast.

This week we have hero Gretchen Parlato! Gretchen is my sister Dena’s childhood best friend, and I think quite possibly my very first hero! Gretchen has one of the most epic voices in the world, like Aretha, or Ella Fitzgerald epic. She is the reason why I sing, I have admired her since I was a baby, and it was so fun to talk to her and tell her all about how much I respect her and ask her all the questions I’ve been wondering about since I was a kid! She has new music coming out later this year, so go check it out at her website. https://gretchenparlato.coSupport us at https://www.patreon.com/Deathvalleygirlsand please join the DVG Podcast page on Instagram (@DVGpodcast) Facebook  (Death Valley Girls Podcast) Hosted on Acast.

This week we are honored to have hero Ralph Blumenthal on the podcast! Ralph was a staff reporter for The New York Times from 1964 to 2009, is the author of many fascinating books including the incredible book, "The Believer: Alien Encounters, Hard Science, and the Passion of John Mack." He has a children's book he co-wrote with his wife, Deborah, called 'UFOhs!' that will be out next year. And, he wrote those articles you have seen in The NY Times about UFOs/UAPs such as “Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program” 12/16/17“Navy Reports Describe Encounters With Unexplained Flying Objects” 5/14/20“House Panel to Hold Public Hearing on Unexplained Aerial Sightings” 5/10/22It was amazing to get to talk to someone on the front line, someone who works to get these stories into the paper, where they should be!! So excited for you to hear this episode!!Check out his work here-->https://ralphblumenthal.comEPISODE: https://linktr.ee/DVGpodcastSupport us at https://www.patreon.com/Deathvalleygirlsand please join the DVG Podcast page on Instagram (@DVGpodcast) Facebook  (Death Valley Girls Podcast) Hosted on Acast.

This week we have hero Olivia Perez Biera! Olivia is a Healer, Facilitator and Instructor in the healing arts. Her practice spans 25 years, founding L.A. Healer and Indigenous Wellness Collective. Look for her podcast, zines and events on www.spiritualhealer.laI think in our culture we are used to avoiding our feelings, from our mind and our body. And we are always trying to alleviate or numb our symptoms. But, with out getting to know ourselves or the root causes of our pain, we prolong the healing process. Olivia is so cool, and she has a class Soul Guided Self Healing that starts in January. If you are interested in healing and growing a connectivity of mind, body, spirit and all that stuff to help you start your healing journey, I believe this is the class for you!EPISODE: https://linktr.ee/DVGpodcastSupport us at https://www.patreon.com/Deathvalleygirlsand please join the DVG Podcast page on Instagram (@DVGpodcast) Facebook  (Death Valley Girls Podcast) Hosted on Acast.

This weeks podcast guest is hero Isis Aquarian. I will be honest that I was truly Star struck speaking with her. And I feel really lucky to have gotten to talk to her about her role in the Source family as documentarian and temple keeper. This group was at the beginning of ushering in a new age of understanding and spirituality and deep connection with self me earth. I really appreciate this deeper look into how she first met the man Jim Baker, and then years later, he had become father Yod, and when they reconnected they both knew they were back home, and finally with family. The connection they have spans lifetimes, and it’s an amazing story. Please go watch the source family documentary, get the source family book, and the scrapbook out on sacred bones now. This family was way ahead of their time with healing, health, and spirituality, I learn so much each time I revisit the movie and the book. And I want you to experience it too! I’ll share the links below.

Today we have hero Anna Blumenthal of Earthquaker Devices and the band The Midnight confessions! Anna is the sweetest and it was a real honor to get to spend this time with her. She is doing something really important in the world! She believes and is making music gear accessible to everyone at every level of play, because the more you can experiment with music or any art, the more  you can find your unique voice, and that is the most important part of being an artist, and being a person! EPISODE: https://linktr.ee/DVGpodcastSupport us at https://www.patreon.com/Deathvalleygirlsand please join the DVG Podcast page on Instagram (@DVGpodcast) Facebook  (Death Valley Girls Podcast) Hosted on Acast.

This week's podcast stars my dog, Tommy!! DVG was out of town every weekend in October, and when I got home in November, my dog was acting really upset. She was peeing in her sleep, and seemed super stressed. When I took her to the vet, they said they could run a bunch of tests on her, but weren't really sure what was wrong. They also said it was going to be very expensive! Then I remembered what happened to me, and that maybe what was happening to her was psychological! Our label boss at Suicide Squeeze, told me about a great animal communicator that helped him with his dog! Polly Klein at Tonglen Healing Arts for Animals!! This is the conversation Polly had with Tommy! I am so happy to report that Tommy is doing great, has completely improved, and now that I have learned how to communicate her, she is at least 50% less anxious!! Here is Polly's info : http://www.tonglenhealingarts.comEPISODE: https://linktr.ee/DVGpodcastSupport us at https://www.patreon.com/Deathvalleygirlsand please join the DVG Podcast page on Instagram (@DVGpodcast) Facebook  (Death Valley Girls Podcast) Hosted on Acast.

This week our hero Jodi Wille back on the podcast! If you didn’t listen to last week’s episode with her go back and listen! I could talk to her forever, she directed my favorite movie the source family documentary and is making a movie about the most interesting healing group, the Unarians! The more I learn about both these groups, the more I realize how much we have in common with their beliefs. And the more I respect Jodi’s commitment and dedication to getting their stories out into the universe. Im starting to feel like I channeled the same spiritual cosmic beings for this new record, that they were in contact with, it’s so exciting and mind blowing.I love Jodi, and I love what she is doing, please go watch her movies, she is a true gem and one of my favorite people I have ever had a chance to talk to!
