Melissa Costello of Heal with Horses (www.healwithhorsessb.com, @melcostellocoach on Insta)  joins THE SOULFAM PODCAST for a straight-forward, gut assuring conversation that shares the struggle women often feel at various transitions in their lives (kids, careers, divorces, marriages, health) and the magical power of horses. Connecting humans with horses in equine partner assisted therapy at Heal with Horses in Santa Barbara, Melissa combines years of expertise with spiritual psychology and nutrition counseling for a integrated experience with her equine friends. Serving the greater Central California Coast area, Melissa invites women from all over the world to join in both her private and group sessions at four different ranches in this beautiful, mystical coastal valley. Women are often plagued with the need to care for others first, weaken their boundaries and forget about their own needs and deep desires, says Melissa. But horses will always reveal your truth. With carefully curated equine circles, using horses Melissa is both familiar with and assured of, women share an arena, a round pen or pasture with horses to clarify their own needs, find their own truths and move past years of trauma and bad habits. Horses, whose hearts vibrate in a  radius four times that of a human, will instantly sense your vibration, your thoughts, your moods without ever coming near you. Melissa shares on THE SOULFAM PODCAST this ground-breaking work that changes lives, shifts intentions and brings truth to the table.If you are out of alignment with your soul's intentions and mission not only will the horse sense it, but it will be revealed to you through the horse-human connection in a session with Melissa. She is part spiritual psychologist, part equine interpreter and highly intuitive having worked with hundreds of women over the years. These sacred sessions are stunning, mind bending and easy blending the ancient traditions of horsemanship with modern feeling understanding. No horse experience required, just soul presence. Melissa also works at Hearts Therapeutic Equestrian Center in Santa Barbara with special needs individuals.Join Melissa this coming fall for a few very special weekends and gatherings with her and a somatic healer at a private ranch in Buellton, CA and at the Monty Roberts Ranch in Solvang. Check out all of her offerings on her website at www.healwithhorsessb.com. This podcast interview is direct, helpful and mind-opening for all those pursuing a more fulfilling, more authentic, more true to soul life. Melissa's practical and effervescent enthusiasm shows as she carries us through the easeful yet sometimes emotionally challenging moments of admitting our own truths to ourselves.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
