Guest host Connie Willis (info) welcomed Dr. Bradley Nelson, who discussed trapped emotions and their impact on physical health, as well as delved into the concept of the "heart wall." He shared how his journey into healing began with a profound personal experience. As a child, he was instantly healed from the measles after his father prayed for him, which taught him that higher powers and rapid healing were possible. Although he initially pursued a career in computer programming, his father encouraged him to reconsider a career in healing. After prayer, he felt guided to become a holistic chiropractor. Bringing with him the mindset of a programmer, he began to see the subconscious mind as an internal computer that could be questioned and reveal answers, particularly about health issues.
Through his practice, Dr. Nelson discovered that nearly all patients shared a common factor behind their illnesses and struggles: trapped emotions. These emotions, stored as energies within the body, interfere with both mental and physical well-being. He described how emotions that are suppressed, overwhelming, or amplified can become stuck in the body, creating problems ranging from chronic pain to anxiety and disease. He illustrated this with a striking case where a woman experiencing heart attack–like symptoms was healed within minutes when he released a trapped emotion of grief connected to her husband's betrayal.
Dr. Nelson described the concept of the heart wall as a subconscious protective barrier formed from layers of trapped emotions. He explained that while it shields us from heartbreak during trauma, it also limits our ability to fully give and receive love, often leaving people disconnected from others or stuck in unhealthy relationships. He noted that science now validates ancient beliefs about the heart being central to love and memory, citing cases of heart transplant patients who have adopted new tastes or memories from their donors. He suggested that removing the heart wall can transform lives by restoring love, connection, and purpose. According to Dr. Nelson, this healing approach has the potential to create a tipping point toward a more compassionate, connected world.

Open Lines followed in the latter half of the program. Dr. Lewis from Pennsylvania asked Connie about her experiences with haunted houses, UFOs, and Bigfoot, and which one scared her the most. She shared her experiences with ghosts, aliens, and Bigfoot, noting the different reactions and feelings associated with each. According to Connie, ghosts are scary yet familiar, aliens can paralyze you, and Bigfoot elicits a mixture of fear and bravery.
Keegan from Delaware shared his experiences living in a haunted house, focusing on encounters with a ghostly figure he called the BlackBerry woman. He described physical and auditory interactions with the ghost, including being hit with a baseball bat and hearing laughter. The conversation also touched on the concept of being marked by paranormal entities and the ongoing nature of such encounters.
Diane from Sunnyvale, California, phoned in to discuss chocolate and its various types, including milk, dark, and white chocolate. Connie provided a brief history of chocolate and explained the differences in ingredients used to make each type. The discussion included a comparison between American and European chocolates, with European chocolates often being considered smoother and of higher quality than their American counterparts.
