INFPs are "dreamers with a talent for seeing magic in the everyday." Myers-Briggs nailed it in one sentence—though it left out the Bernadette's macaw, the faeries, and the Celtic ancestors. Plus, there's a lot more. She considers herself as a New Earth Ambassador & Faery Emissary Where Health, Wealth & Faery Magic Meets Coaching for the New Earth! Bernadette's mission is to remind seekers about the New Earth reality of harmony, cooperation, and prosperity for all—weaving in the magic of art and the wisdom of the faeries to help you awaken your natural vitality and live an extraordinary life. She's passionate about protecting Earth and honoring Nature through a healthy whole-plant foods diet, artistic creativity, faery connection, and Celtic magical lore. She lives Lives Magic as an artist, animal lover, and spiritual seeker since childhood. Her Celtic ancestors eventually led Bernadette to find exactly what she'd been looking for which inspired the creation of Faehallows School of Magic in 2008 at CelticMysterySchool.com. These days she paints, creates AI art, leads shamanic journeys into the Otherworlds, teaches Celtic mystery wisdom, coaches magical clients, and writes about all of it. Basically, Bernadette does what she loves and somehow calls it work.

Free Discovery Call By the way, if you'd like to dive into self-care, self development, or distance shamanic work, drop me a line kevin@towardabetterlife.com for a free discovery call. 0:6:21 Chat with Amanda Gisby Amanda is a Druid, science teacher and writer, drawn to the mysteries where science, spirituality, mythology and the natural world meet. With academic backgrounds in Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Mathematics, and over a decade of experience teaching science and mathematics, she spent much of her life exploring how we understand the world around us. Teaching has shaped her perspective profoundly, reminding her that knowledge is not simply about finding answers, but nurturing curiosity, asking better questions and inspiring a sense of wonder in others. Amanda is fascinated by the meeting point between scientific discovery and ancient wisdom, where the language of physics can sit alongside myth, and rational enquiry can coexist with spiritual contemplation. Walking the path of the Ovate with the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD), she finds inspiration among ancient trees, sacred landscapes and the stories woven into the living Earth. Through her Substack page, The Enchanted Atlas, Amanda explores the hidden threads connecting physics, philosophy, folklore and spiritual understanding. She's also co-writing Tree Odyssey, a lyrical journey through sacred places, the enduring presence of trees and the ways our encounters with the natural world can transform how we see ourselves. At the heart of Amanda's work is a belief that curiosity can be a form of reverence. Whether in the classroom, among the trees or exploring the mysteries of existence through writing, she seeks to bring different ways of knowing into conversation. For her, science and spirituality are not necessarily opposing paths, but different invitations to look more deeply, remain open to wonder and discover our place within the unfolding story of the living world.

She is now far more interested in useful sound. Her question is a simple one: we already know that changing the breath changes how we feel. What changes when you add your own voice to the exhale? Vibrational Voice is her practice — breath, humming, sustained tone. No singing ability, no equipment, and sounding good is not the point. Here is the distinction that makes it hers: in a sound bath, someone else strikes the bowl and you receive it. In Vibrational Voice, the person making the sound is also the person receiving the vibration. Source and receiver, the same body. A classically trained opera singer, international recording artist, and GRAMMY voting member, Heather has performed across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America. The practice grew alongside Voice of the Earth, her feature documentary on sound, vibration, and our relationship with the living world — which she now screens and follows with a live guided practice, so a room feels the thing rather than only watching it. She can hold the physiology without claiming more than the evidence supports, go all the way into the sacred with audiences who want to go there, and then set the theory down entirely. After twenty-five years of being listened to, her most provocative conclusion is that the human voice may matter most when nobody is listening. 0:56:20 VIbrational Voice Experience 1:16:38 Closing Thoughts Connections: Heather Schmid: Website: https://www.heatherschmid.com/ Vibrational Journeys Website: https://www.vibrationaljourneys.com/ Contact: https://www.vibrationaljourneys.com/contact-3 Toward A Better Life: Website: https://towardabetterlife.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/KevinPennell Kevin Pennell: https://towardabetterlife.com/contact/
