S: 3 E: 2 Kristine Genovese – Health, Healing & Heritage.
Kristine Genovese is a transformative force in holistic health, empowering healthcare professionals and healers to reclaim their own well-being while revolutionizing the way they heal others. Join us for this must see discussion as we find out about her groundbreaking Soul Intelligence® Method, new Movie & latest Book inspiring a special performance of ELP’s classic Tarkus along with some surprising tidbits and artifacts from their Italian heritage! Find out more about Kristine and her great work at: https://soulintelligencemethod.com/

Kristine Genovese is a transformative force in holistic health, empowering healthcare professionals and healers to reclaim their own well-being while revolutionizing the way they heal others. As the creator of the groundbreaking Soul Intelligence® Method, she facilitates energy-based trauma release and root-cause healing without revisiting pain.

Through direct sessions and her innovative online course, Kristine teaches healers and wellness professionals how to integrate this method into their practices, unlocking profound transformations for themselves and their clients.

Kristine Genovese is an LA Tribune best-selling author of Healing Through Soul Intelligence and the recipient of Best Holistic Life Magazine’s 2025 Book of the Year award. A recognized leader in the holistic healing and transformation space, Kristine is the creator of the groundbreaking Soul Intelligence® Method—a powerful approach to energy-based trauma release and root-cause healing. Her impact has earned her a featured role in the upcoming anniversary edition of The Secret, Pillars of Power, set to release later this year.

Soul Intelligence® is a revolutionary bioenergetic healing system designed to release physical, emotional, and mental energy at the subconscious level, offering profound transformation without the need to relive past traumas. Bioenergetics was documented in the 1950s by Dr. Alexander Lowen, which simply states there is a correlation between one’s physical well-being and one’s mental and emotional well-being. If you physically don’t feel well then mentally and emotionally, you are not doing so hot either and vice versa.

We can all recall learning in elementary school that everyone and everything is energy—we are all protons, neutrons, electrons vibrating in an electromagnetic field. It stands to reason that energy can get trapped in people, places, or things just as it can get trapped within our physical, mental, or emotional body.

Emotion is energy in motion. When energy gets stuck and is no longer in motion, that’s when it begins to wreak havoc in the body. It causes dis-ease, dys-function, or a dissonance in your frequency and a physical ailment begins to form. It’s my experience that the physical body serves as a barometer of our subconscious mind. When you consider that 95% of our mind’s activity is in the subconscious, it’s no wonder that our emotions, repetitive actions, old patterns, unresolved trauma gets stored there.

The SOUL INTELLIGENCE ® method allows all of what’s trapped energetically in the subconscious mind, to rise to the awareness of the conscious mind to be released. We also know that once energy is created that it can’t be destroyed, only transformed. In order to do this work, the SQ practitioner has to be connected to the Divine and allow the information to flow through them to be transformed for the client.

It marries science, spirituality, and practical application to help individuals and professionals alike clear energetic blockages that hinder growth and expansion. By integrating quantum physics, bioenergetics, and spiritual wisdom, the method provides a comprehensive approach to healing that addresses the root causes of illness and imbalance. ​

Before developing Soul Intelligence®, I spent more than 25 years specializing in corporate growth and turnarounds, identifying and improving people, processes, and technology to streamline operations and boost business outcomes. This experience honed my ability to identify underlying patterns and dysfunctionality, which I now apply to help individuals clear energetic blockages and achieve optimal well-being. ​

With a mission to make the world healthier on every level—physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and energetically—Kristine is launching a Soul Intelligence movement. She envisions a ripple effect that changes lives, transforms healthcare, and establishes Soul Intelligence® as a leading modality in wellness centers nationwide.

Legacy Series S: 1 E: 5 Peter Radosta: To The Ends Of The Earth
Water Conservation Expert, skier, outdoor enthusiast, endurance athlete, adventurer, and advocate for community Peter Radosta is known for bringing the ABC’s of Ambition, Balance and Commitment wherever he goes including recently when he traveled from St. George, Utah to the uninhabited glaciers of South Georgia Island on a sailboat with a handful of skiing, hiking and cold plunge adventurers to revisit and pay tribute to the great explorer Ernest Shackleton. Join us for this no holds barred conversation highlighted by Ricks inspired musical performance of Lord Huron’s “To The Ends Of The Earth” in this MUST SEE Episode!

Today we are so happy to have as our guest on this episode of the Legacy Series a fellow skier, outdoor enthusiast, endurance athlete, adventurer, advocate for community, and student of the ABC’s: Ambition, Balance and Commitment, Peter Radosta. Leadership is the thread that weaves all of this together for Peter. Today he will share how leadership shapes his pursuits and how he applies leadership principles to enable having a positive influence on others. His career and life path landed him in St George, which is now his retirement basecamp for all-things outdoors. His career was centered back east as an engineer in the water industry. He has widespread experience with all-things drinking water. How apropos that in retirement he shares his expertise with water professionals in Utah in navigating a long list of water-related issues.. Peter now spends many a day skiing at Snowbird. That’s where Rick met Peter. When he approached him on the Gad2 liftline, “Hey Jazzman”, they established that locals’ connection at the Bird. Since then, they’ve shared stories, mused about their respective pursuits, and overall share a sense of Peace. Which is what this series is all about.
Ultimately, they both agree that Music transcends everything and speaks a universal language like no other.

Key Takeaways:
– Peter grew up on Long Island, which paradoxically introduced him to the great outdoors
– As a civil engineer just starting his career in Syracuse, his love for the outdoors eventually brought him to Park City Utah.
– Being a ski patroller there led him to take on leadership roles in nearly everything he pursues.
– With focus and discipline, he maintains that precision which has led to his achievements.
– Fitness and athleticism are clearly important to him and have evolved through the decades.
– Discomfort plays a role in all of this. His reward often requires entering into a discomfort zone.
– Peter also applies that same enthusiasm and focus to his volunteer pursuits. Back in New
York he established a not-for-profit cross-country ski company.
– This summer Peter tossed himself into an endurance event like no other. Sailing across the Southern Ocean to ski the glaciers on South Georgia Island. T
– In this episode Peter tells us what’s fundamental to him and what he tells others, especially young professionals, what’s important to stay on track in whatever they might be pursuing, career and otherwise.

ABOUT OUR GUEST:

For over 20 years, Kerie Logan has been a Human Consciousness Guide, supporting people with mental health concerns. She is also an author, certified clinical hypnotherapist, and NLP practitioner. This interview exploring the need to go from 3D Human Consciousness to 4D and 5D inspired a musical selection by Rick of the well known Evergreen “When You’re Smiling”. A must see!

You Deserve to Feel Alive. Kerie Logan is here to Guide You along Your Journey in Life.
Since 2012, Kerie has taught my clients how to Master the Upper Rooms. The concept is to raise one’s levels of human consciousness around various areas that keep one stuck.

For example, someone can be stuck in anger, disappointment, shame, despair, fear, or guilt. Her job is to help you figure out your set point and then walk you through the steps to shift your perspective until you feel a sense of relief. Viewing what is keeping you stuck from a broader or different perspective. This approach can be done in a coaching session or just by listening to one of her meditation audio recordings.

Background

Kerie Logan has been a Clinically Certified Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner, and Life/Wellness Coach for over twenty years. In 2004, she won an award for the best Life/Wellness Coach.

Voted the best hypnotherapist for 15 consecutive years for Salem, Oregon.

– Author, Blogger, Public Speaker, and Podcast

Approach & Philosophy
Kerie’s approach is first to make all my clients feel safe, seen, heard, and understood. All judgment, blame and assumption, are left outside the room. At first, she likes to talk to get a feel or sense of my client.

Depending upon the client and their level of comfort, she might immediately get insights and guidance from above about their current situation, concerns, fears, self-sabotaging behaviors, and limiting beliefs. Other times, the conversation just needs to flow in order for someone to feel safe and comfortable enough to express their inner most worries and concerns.

What matters most is she always listens to guidance because the guides or Tobias know each person road blocks and struggles in life. She is just the messenger. So in a way, when she connects with a client’s light within or Soul with mine, it is like she’s creating a pinhole of light into their shadow world. Just this small pinhole of light can illuminate a room full of complete darkness. Once the dark room has been illuminated, false perceptions, limiting beliefs, and the thought patterns and behaviors are exposed.

This exposure grants her the opportunity to create a shift within the clients consciousness and self-awareness. It allows her the ability to remove the rose color tinted glasses and present the truth coming from a place of compassion, kindness, understanding, forgiveness, and courage. When one is stuck within the shadows below the human consciousness frequency of 200, this person is stuck in survival mode. It is all about the self, disconnection and separation. Her goal is to raise this person up out of shame, blame, guilt, despair, grief, fear, anger, and the demanding arrogant small self.

This shift in human consciousness can either happen rapidly, like an instant healing within minutes to free the mind and emotions of years of worry, self-doubt, and frustration. Other times, it can be a healing that takes place over several weeks because the individual needs to rewire their brain DAILY by listening to an guided meditation or custom recording. Removing and deactivating the addictive, limiting, or self-sabotaging behaviors, thought patterns, and beliefs. Because it does take 28 to 35 days to create a new habit, belief, or new way of living, acting, and behaving.

Richard Sgaglio: Crazy Little Things Called Love & Life S:2 E: 50
Richard Sgaglio is a communications executive, LGBTQ+ advocate, and lifelong storyteller. His debut novel, “When The Road Narrows” is a searing coming-of-age story exploring identity, faith, live, loss and the desire to live authentically. Published by Spectrum Books (London), the novel, launched worldwide this week and available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other online booksellers inspired Rick’s LIVE performance of the QUEEN Classic “Crazy Little Thing Called Love!”. When The Road Narrows was published in August, and with LGBTQ+ rights facing renewed challenges across the country and globally, its themes of identity, resilience, and hope are more relevant than ever. Sgaglio’s goal is to offer a story that not only resonates with those navigating their own journeys but also sheds light for a broader audience about the personal struggles and triumphs behind the headlines.

Richard Sgaglio resides in Massachusetts, with his husband Bill of 15 years and their two rescue dogs, Cammy and Scooter. Born in the Bronx and raised in Westchester County, he is a marketing and communications expert with over 25 years of experience in the nonprofit sector. Throughout his career, Richard has harnessed the power of strategic storytelling and audience engagement to support important causes, viewing himself first and foremost as a writer.

Richard is the co-author of The Forensic Investigation Handbook: An Introduction to the Collection, Preservation, Analysis, and Presentation of Evidence, published by Charles E. Thomas in 2005. Written during a period when he worked as a forensic investigator, the handbook became a widely used textbook in forensic science programs across college campuses nationwide. He recently joined the faculty of Purdue University where he teaches undergraduate communications classes.

Beyond his career achievements, Richard is especially proud of his volunteer work. He has served on the board of directors of Friends of Karen, a nonprofit that supports families with children facing life-threatening illnesses, for six years, including three as board president. His commitment to vulnerable populations extends back to his time in Nevada, where he co-founded The Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth in Las Vegas.

Richard’s work with the organization has had a lasting impact, underscoring his dedication to inclusivity and social support.

S:2 E:47 Amadou Camara: Climbing The Hill
On S: 2 E: 47 Rick welcomes Amadou Camara, an architectural designer, and the author of Climbing The Hill, a memoir tracing his journey from childhood trauma in Guinea to building a new life in the U.S. through resilience, creativity, and courage. His story touches on surviving abuse, navigating immigration, and finding healing through education and design. His journey from West Africa to Madison, Wisconsin and switching from French to English inspired a special bilingual version of Rick’s seasonal rendition of one of the all-time jazz classics, Autumn Leaves! In this episode, Amadou offers a powerful perspective on what it means to rise from adversity without losing your sense of self. He speaks from the heart about transformation, mental health, and the immigrant experience—with a focus on giving voice to those who suffer in silence. His background in architecture adds a creative dimension to his message about rebuilding not just spaces, but lives. His message centers around hope, healing, and how pain can be a catalyst—not a cage. Sharing his story with an honest, uplifting, and globally-minded voice.
