Meet Jona Genova, a performance coach and Reiki instructor - in this episode, she And Amber Cabral are diving headfirst into the intriguing world of healing. They're going to talk about why healing should be accessible to everyone, the lack of diversity in the healing world, cultural appropriation, and why it's absolutely essential to pay respect to the origins of healing practices.
Jona's got a pretty cool journey in the healing world, and she's been doing some fascinating work with diverse communities, including NFL players. What makes her unique is her ability to sense energies that usually go unspoken, and Jona shares some good insights on how to heal those invisible wounds that we have.
Inside the episode, Jona and Amber stress the importance of recognizing experiences that words can't always capture. They'll also bust a few myths about healing practices and give a shoutout to the amazing power of rest - which is especially important for folks in marginalized communities, and we'll wrap up with a conversation about privilege and how it can be the spark for some real positive changes.
So, Amber and Jona as they explore the world of healing, sensitivity, and the incredible potential of privilege as a force for positive change.

Amber has a genuine ability to bring out the authentic aspects of topics that many of us must want to sit down and have a conversation about! Refreshing, compelling and yes, entertaining — can’t wait for each episode to drop and I even feel more equipped to expand on these topics in my own circle!
I took away so much from this episode. The biggest is recognizing our true enemy. Also, equity is about choices. We have them and we can choose how to use our privilege.
Just finished the first episode (whispers: via YouTube) and I was NOT ready for the conversation to end. So I came on over to the apple podcast streets to subscribe and listen again on my commute to work. While this is not the work I’m exclusively dedicated to, I want to increase awareness around equity so I can be more intentional in my practice personally and professionally. This conversation is an absolute resource that I have the PRIVILEGE (time) to tap into and I look forward to digging into new episodes every week.
Wow! I couldn’t get enough of this. Wished it were longer. The conversation is real, authentic and can absolutely be life changing if you soak the info in. Just finished listening to the episode with Tieko Nejon on emotional intelligence and Amber asked the best questions. Tieko answered so thoughtfully and broke it allll the way down for us. Kudos to both of you. I am sharing this podcast with so many people.
