Fall carries its own soundtrack—wind in the chimes, rain on the roof, and yes…pumpkin-season comforts. In this episode, we welcome back Hannah, meditation teacher and somatic educator, and the founder of Anam Cara Healing Center in downtown Spokane. We explore why September feels like a fresh “new year,” how seasonal rituals root and steady us, and how sound—from crystal bowls and drums to rain sticks and wave drums—can move the body from fight-or-flight into rest, digest, and restore.
Hannah breaks down consonance and dissonance (think C + F vs. that suspenseful E–F “Jaws” half-step), the chakra-note framework many sound bath practitioners use, and why intentional tension + release can gently “unstick” us. We talk parasympathetic activation, theta/delta brain states, pain and inflammation relief, and the surprisingly profound role of silence at the end of a session.
There’s even a live “sound & tell” segment, plus the origin story of how Thrive-Learn-Connect got its name. If you’ve been craving a nervous-system reset, this episode offers a cozy seasonal doorway back to yourself—and a few simple ways to bring sound home.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
