She is a sought after thought leader, educator and speaker and has worked at the forefront of the wellness industry for over 8 years. She’s considered an expert in all things magnesium and her mission is to spread awareness of this powerful mineral to all who struggle to live their most vibrant lives.

Natalie is a Magnesium Expert on a mission to spread awareness about this often-overlooked mineral. Not long ago she spent most of her days constantly anxious, stressed and overwhelmed. Despite living a healthy lifestyle: eating organic foods, exercising and using healthy products; she was still dealing with health issues.

Her doctors kept encouraging her to use prescription medication, but she was concerned about all the side effects. Instead, she started a journey to heal herself naturally. She literally spent thousands of dollars and years of her life looking for a solution to the crippling anxiety, chronic pain and devastating insomnia that was stopping her from living the life she craved.

In this episode of the Journey of My Mother’s Son podcast, I talk with Joe Engler.

Joe played for our organization back in 2003. He was on our Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League (ACBL) team between his sophomore and junior seasons at Minot State University in North Dakota. I refer to him as one of my old players, but he never actually played a game for me, he just played in our organization. He was one of the players who I really connected with while he was with us.

Joe and I talk about the life lessons that the game of baseball taught him and how he is using them today in both his work and personal life.

Paul Zolman – Role of Love

by Dan Clouser | Feb 14, 2025 | Many Little People, Podcasts, The Journey | 0 |

Paul is also the international bestselling author of the Role of Love, but the true author of love is God. In His wisdom, He placed us in a variety of circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love. So, what qualifies Paul to speak about love? His childhood experience was the opposite of love. From that austere beginning, and the distaste it formed inside him, He searched for and eventually created a method that transformed his life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became his preferred love style, only because of the regularity. He could almost count on it. It was consistent. He came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, he knew that was a twisted belief. He wanted a better life for himself, which is why he created a paradigm shift that works. In the book, you’ll find what helped him move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to being a person who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance. This is truly the role of love.

Larry is the author of the 2014 Amazon bestseller “Winning Fantasy Baseball.” He has been called one of the best fantasy baseball players in the world.

He has competed in the two most prestigious expert’s leagues, winning the USA Today-sponsored LABR league three times and the Tout Wars experts league six times.

Jan & Gary Crosby – The Last Frontier

by Dan Clouser | Jan 10, 2025 | Many Little People, Podcasts, The Journey | 0 |

We originally met Jennie and Eric on a volunteer project through A Year to Volunteer back in February of 2022 at Sam Houston Jones State Park in Lake Charles, Louisiana. We are so grateful for Y2V. Not only for the opportunity to make a difference throughout the country, but for the amazing community that we have become a part of. If it wasn’t for Y2V, this epic Alaskan group adventure would have never taken place. Sure, we probably would have all made it to Alaska at some point during our individual full-time journeys, but to be able to experience the last frontier with this small group of friends is truly what put the trip over the top for all of us.
