    Jennifer Wescott
    Jennifer is an Author, Coach, Podcast host, speaker. Her purpose is to share about her late husband's passing, and the communication with him that has transformed her illusion of death and grief.
    This is an excerpt out of my book: A Cosmic Love Story; Shattering the Illusion of Death, Communicating with my beloved beyond the veil.
    "Even though his spirit had left his body, the energetic connection felt incredibly strong, perhaps even more intense than ever before. I was welling up with emotion, and my heart was pounding rapidly. As I began the breath work with the chant, I felt my heart was going to burst and I wasn’t sure if I could hang on for what felt like was going to be a “ride.” It was difficult to keep my breath calm and deep. Within seconds, the room felt like it was spinning and picking up speed… Suddenly, a great calm and stillness came over me and filled the room. I thought time stopped. Suddenly, a great strength and power was coming into me and through me, and there was a voice that I was not only hearing but that was also speaking through me at the same time. The words were coming in the first and third person all at the same time. “This is not the end; this is only the beginning. Rick is working in the Causal realm, while you are working in the Effectual realm, and you have a grand purpose together that will serve humanity and the world.”(now I’m speaking to Rick) “You will be helping me to ascend, that I may walk with you in the higher realms, even while still in this body.” Promptly after, what came out of me was what some would call “speaking in tongues,” while others would call it “light language.” Either way, this went on for maybe ten or fifteen seconds. This had never happened to me before, and even though I had no idea what came out of my mouth or exactly what it meant, I did know this was a seal, or an anchoring of all that just been spoken, as a seed into my soul, and his. I felt an aspect of Rick enter me, like a new soul was created, a soul that was a perfect compilation of his and mine. Instantly, I was charged with excitement, joy and energy. Any despair and exhaustion I previously felt had been transmuted into a newness of life that I never could have imagined in my wildest dreams. If you had asked me yesterday how life would be if Ricky passed, I would have used words like devastation, emptiness, and hell; anything but a joyful and exciting new beginning. This was truly a miraculous moment that I will forever hold in my heart. That moment is the foundation from which our new purpose together unfolds, to shatter the illusion of death, and go beyond the grip of grief, not only for myself but for others caught in the snare of suffering. This is not a spiritual bypass, as I still face grief, but I face it from a new perspective, knowing that I’m experiencing a sense of loss based on the limitations of the five senses, rather than tapping into the more subtle and invisible senses, of which are infinite and will reveal what we have gained rather than what we have lost. Not for one minute could I think this was an end of our relationship and I was filled with excitement for what was to come.

    Walter Rusniaczek
    Walter is a sales leader and former actor‑comedian who blends humor, experience, and personal development to help people thrive under pressure daily!!
    Walter is the guest people argue about, quote, and remember. A former actor and comedian turned sales leader, he brings more than 30 years of experience from high‑pressure sales environments where performance mattered and excuses didn’t. His journey includes personal loss, hard-earned accountability, and a profound reckoning that reshaped how he approaches leadership, trust, and responsibility. Still very much a work in progress, Walter speaks with uncommon honesty about rebuilding a life, learning how trust is formed, and what it takes to stop performing strength and start practicing it.
    VIDEO CLIP NOTE: Before the clip rolls: yes, it’s an old one. Think “historic footage.” As Dean Wormer said in Animal House, “Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, young man.”
    Walter heard that… eventually. Adjustments were made. Excited to join you on the show. We'll have a new one up shortly!

    Book 101 Review, in its sixth season, features Tiff Thompson, Clinical Neuroscientist and CEO, who is building the future of neurotherapy with proprietary brain technology, as my guest—sharing insights on innovation, neuroscience, and the transformative potential of next-generation brain health solutions.

    Tiff Thompson
    Clinical Neuroscientist & CEO Building the Future of Neurotherapy with Proprietary Brain Tech
    I didn’t start out in neuroscience — I started in the corporate world. In my 20s I was a wind energy developer, living the high-performing, high-achieving life… and quietly realizing I was miserable. My personal life was cracking, I was in a season of heartbreak, and even though I looked successful on the outside, I knew something had to change.
    Then in 2011, I had an experience that completely redirected my life.I walked into a small brain-training clinic, got hooked up to a neurofeedback-style system, and for the first time I felt what it was like to work with the brain directly — not just through insight or willpower, but through measurable feedback and real change. I walked out of that session knowing: this is what I’m supposed to do.
    I left my career, started over from the ground up, and committed my life to understanding what most people never get to see: the story the brain is telling beneath the symptoms. Along the way, I earned multiple degrees and advanced credentials to do this work with real clinical depth — including a PhD, becoming a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT), and advanced EEG credentials as a QEEG-D and REEGT. I learned how to interpret the nervous system through the lens of brain data, patterns, and human experience — so we’re not guessing, we’re assessing.
    Today, I’m the CEO of a rapidly scaling neurotherapy clinic and school. We work with people who feel stuck — anxiety, trauma patterns, ADHD-style focus issues, burnout, sleep disruption, mood instability, cognitive decline — and we combine clinical neuroscience, neurodiagnostics, and neurotherapy to help create real, lasting change.
    One of the most exciting parts of our work is NeuroField’s multi-modal brain stimulation technology, which is changing what brain stimulation can look like. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, we use a customized, highly personal model designed to meet the brain where it is — supporting regulation, resilience, and performance in a way that’s guided by clinical insight and measurable feedback.
    What makes this unique is that we’re not only doing this work inside the clinic — we’re expanding it. Through the School of Neurotherapy, we offer education and credentialing programs to train practitioners in this personalized, brain-based approach, helping spread a more effective, ethical, and human-centered model of care.
