Culture Talks with Sharon Radigan

Sharon Radigan was Born and raised in Brooklyn NY. City life moved fast, which did not allow her to be surrounded by the beautiful and natural elements of this Earth. That fast paced lifestyle stayed with her for many years. The healing power of nature was not something she fully understood until now. Her curiosity of natural energy, allowed her to explore facets that lead her through a beautiful journey of self discovery.

She knew she loved beautiful things and how they made her feel, which led her to becoming a licensed cosmetologist. Making people feel beautiful and how it impacted their confidence, was always something so powerful to her. A simple change created a shift. However, there was something about the physical changes that still felt superficial.

Moving to the suburbs began her love affair with nature. After experiencing a traumatizing life event, she instinctively started on a path that would lead to, not only her own healing, but understanding more about the energy around us and moving through us. She just moved in the direction that made her feel good to her core. She began to spend more time in nature, along with choosing how and with who she spent her time with.

It was the positive energetic impact that was so powerful. Becoming certified as a Feng Shui Practitioner was the natural next step for her. Still making things beautiful, but with a bigger purpose. The ultimate goal is to help people understand something they can't see. To trust their intuition and hear their own voice.

We give too much of our own personal power away, which can lead to living a life that does not feel purposeful. Understanding how to work with the energies and live in balance with them, opens us up to so much more than the eye can see in physical form.

Culture Talks with Isaac Rocha

Isaac Rocha grew up in the small town of Las Cruces, New Mexico, as the son of Hector and Becky Rocha. He was raised in a faith-based community known as the Apostolic Assembly, where his father served as a minister throughout his life.

In 2003, Isaac graduated from Onate High School with a full scholarship to New Mexico State University. However, he lost the scholarship shortly thereafter. After spending a year at college, he decided to take a break to reevaluate his options—a pause that unexpectedly stretched into 16 years, as he realized that traditional college was not the right fit for him.

Over the past 22 years, Isaac has gained diverse work experience, from fast food and retail to corporate banking and Lyft driving. He has also been involved in church worship singing and leadership, and he now runs his own business from the comfort of his home and phone. His varied skill set allows him to connect deeply with people and serve families across different communities, helping them increase their income, save on taxes and insurance, and ensure they are properly protected.

During this time, Isaac embarked on a transformative 14-year weight-loss journey that saw him shed 80 pounds. This experience elevated his self-love practices and deepened his understanding of self-healing, leading to renewed behaviors, habits, and a holistic transformation in his life—mind, body, and spirit.

Relocating to Phoenix, AZ, five years ago further accelerated his desire for change. The shy introverted child who once hid behind his mother’s dress has become a confident individual. While his quiet demeanor might suggest otherwise, he communicates with remarkable wisdom and clarity.

Isaac identifies as a creative and empathetic person with a profound appreciation for the arts. His passions for food, travel, exploration, individuality, and freedom continue to flourish as he embraces each day. He now strives to live fully in the present moment.

Culture Talks with Amee Bee

Amee means unconditional love in Sanskrit. Amee Bee is an artist and poet, born in America of Indian descent, inspired by love. She has bright blue eyes and slender artistic hands, which are rare features for Indian culture. She never painted in her life, until a sweet friend looked at her hands and told her to pursue art and poetry.

Without professional lessons in art (or poetry), she began to paint one cold January morning in 2017. Art, travel and new experiences for Amee Bee are the best outlets for self discovery, self acceptance and for her to stay in an inspired state of being. By sharing her experiences, she hopes it inspires you to be in love or do art, too.

Amee Bee adores the quirkiness of Mark Jacobs personality, wit and charm of the late Kate Spade, passion of Vincent Van Gogh- just as much as the chill vibes of Buddha and love poems by Rumi. Amee aims to find beauty in what's around her and be appreciative of what she has.

It's her secret to happiness. Art, poetry and stories are what translate from it. By sharing, she hopes you to experience the love and magic within you. Thank you for reading.
