  • Channeling Fiction Through Tarot: Kelly on Past Lives, Soul Contracts & The Arcanum Series
    May 15 2025

    In this mesmerizing episode of Literary Lines, GiGi Meier sits down with Kelly—author, tarot channeler, and spiritual guide—to explore the mystical origins of her groundbreaking Arcanum Series, the first fiction collection entirely channeled through Tarot. What began as a life-altering past life regression in 2017 has since unfolded into a genre-defying blend of love story and spiritual awakening, all rooted in the idea that our lives are guided by soul contracts and energetic blueprints.

    Kelly pulls back the curtain on her creative process, revealing how she translates "past-life downloads" and energy healing into fiction—and how she uses those same intuitive gifts to help clients worldwide uncover their own soul stories. From her deeply visual meditations to the "worthiness wounds" nearly all humans share, she shares tangible tools for breaking through emotional blocks and accessing inner wisdom.

    Listeners will get an inside look at her tarot readings, where she creates sacred space for clients to receive clarity, plus a sneak peek at where her Arcanum Series is headed next. Whether you’re a fiction lover, a spiritual seeker, or simply curious about the unseen forces shaping our lives, this conversation will leave you questioning—and perhaps remembering—the deeper story beneath your own.

    May 1 2025

    In this urgent and enlightening episode of Literary Lines, GiGi Meier sits down with Dr. Paul Corona—a trailblazing physician, author, and mental health advocate—to unpack the growing epidemic of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and hormone-related disorders plaguing America. With decades of experience in family medicine and a holistic "Mind and Body Healing" approach, Dr. Corona reveals why traditional treatments often fall short—and how his patient-centered methods deliver transformative results, sometimes in just one or two sessions.

    From his early days as a family doctor in the 1990s to writing six groundbreaking books, Dr. Corona shares his journey of bridging the gap between conventional medicine and whole-person care. He walks listeners through The Corona Protocol, his science-backed system for treating everything from addiction to hormonal imbalances, and explains why socioeconomic factors and genetics play a critical role in mental health.

    The conversation also dives into his media presence, including The Dr. Paul Show (streaming on Roku, Amazon Fire, and YouTube), where he breaks down complex medical topics for everyday audiences. Whether discussing SSRIs, non-pharmaceutical therapies, or the top five mental health crises facing patients today, Dr. Corona offers hope and actionable solutions—especially for underserved communities relying on his telemedicine services.

    For anyone seeking a compassionate, evidence-based path to wellness—or simply curious about the future of mental healthcare—this episode is a must-listen.

  • From Classroom to Jazz Age Romance: Elaine Strawn on Love, Legacy & Literary Reinvention
    Apr 24 2025

    Step into the glittering world of 1920s New York and the intimate corners of a first-grade classroom in this deeply personal Literary Lines episode. Host GiGi Meier sits down with Elaine Sprawn, whose extraordinary journey from 40-year teacher to historical novelist will leave you inspired.

    Elaine's writing career blossomed unexpectedly when she transformed her grandparents' real-life Jazz Age romance—including her grandfather Bill Corum, the sports journalist who coined the phrase "Run for the Roses"—into the sweeping love story Kiddie & the Major. But her literary path took a poignant turn with Strokewaves, her raw memoir of resilience after personal tragedy.

    Between tales of tracking down speakeasies for research and her upcoming spring bookfair circuit, Elaine reflects on how forty years of teaching first-graders prepared her to write across genres. Listeners will be captivated by her insights on bridging generations through story, the bittersweet process of fictionalizing family history, and where she’d time-travel if given one magical year.

    For anyone who believes it’s too late to start a new chapter, Elaine’s story—like the enduring love between Kitty and the Major—proves the most compelling narratives often unfold when we least expect them.
