purposeme365.com

On Roundy Rants, Raves and Reviews, the host interviews author Seth Andre Robinson about his Purpose Me book series and the personal experiences that inspired it, including living with a speech impediment, shyness, and learning to move beyond self-pity by embracing who he is and letting God work through his weaknesses. Seth explains how his main character, Karina, faces similar struggles, discovers God’s hand on her life, and uses setbacks to help others. He outlines the three books—Destiny Awaits (Volume 1), The Origins of Karina (Volume 2), and Karina’s Choice (Volume 3)—including Volume 3’s use of the stages of grief after he lost his mother. Seth shares his hope to adapt the books into plays, movies, or a TV series, encourages daily purpose, and directs viewers to PurposeMe365.com.

Diana Cuatto Kessler on Shamanism, Earth Wisdom & Her Sacred Circle Spirit Animal Oracle Deck

Host Tanya Roundy interviews counselor, writer, and retired ballet director Diana Kessler about her post-retirement focus on shamanism and Earth wisdom and her mission to bring Indigenous wisdom from North and South America into modern life. Kessler describes creating the “Sacred Circle Spirit Animal Oracle” deck and detailed guidebook based on the North American medicine wheel, inspired by a 2002 near-death appendix experience and developed through a six-month journey around Sedona and the Verde Valley. She explains the deck’s structure (creator cards for lower/middle/upper worlds, lunar cycles, spirit pathways, stones, and cardinal directions), shares example cards and haiku, and discusses oracle work as guidance rather than prediction. The conversation emphasizes healing, integrating light and shadow, gratitude, joy, grounding in nature, and practical elemental practices like simple candle-based fire ceremonies.

Sleeping Wizards: Author Rusty Marcum on Grief and Genre Mashups

Host Tanya Roundy interviews writer Rusty Marcum who shares his background, love of mixed genres, and how grief shapes much of his work. He describes his award-winning pilot/spec script “Jasper,” about a family grieving a son’s suicide who move to a haunted Colorado town where once-friendly ghosts turn dangerous, and notes early Netflix interest faded. Rusty discusses inspirations from short stories and classic films, plus a sci-fi/fantasy concept sparked by a hiking experience and a dream. He explains how “Sleeping Wizards” evolved into a graphic novel after industry feedback, finding artist Joanna Taylor, and selling the pitch to publisher Iron Circus; a Kickstarter (Feb 16–Mar 18) seeks $18,000 with digital, print, and D&D one-shot options. He closes with advice to writers to be easy on themselves.
