The Healers Café

Hi, it's Manon Bolliger (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) and I want to welcome you to the Healers Cafe. I am so excited to be doing this series of interviews and what I'll be doing is, is asking all kinds of healthcare practitioners, doctors, healers of all types, to really share with all of you their experience, why they became healers, what called them what they think about this being a healer thing. Is it, a thing? Who's really healing in this, what they've experienced from their their interaction with clients and patients and what the takeaways and understanding of what the process of healing is all about and the process of life. So that's the essence of what I'm doing. I'm hoping that this will serve also for patients that have issues and are looking for different ways of approaching it. * De-Registered, revoked & retired after 30+ years of practice. Now resourceful & resolved to share with you all the tools to take care of your health & vitality!

ABOUT KIMBERLY MITCHELL:

Kimberly Mitchell is a mental health advocate, veteran, and transformational leader dedicated to empowering individuals and small businesses. Growing up in a household where independence was a necessity, she excelled academically, earning numerous awards, including the Citizenship Medal from the Daughters of the American Revolution. Her resilience was tested when she lost her father at 16, but she channeled her determination into service, enlisting in the Air Force. As the only woman in her Vehicle Maintenance training class, she set a new standard by earning the highest test scores and later served in Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, achieving the rank of E-4 Sergeant.


Transitioning into civilian life, Kimberly pursued a career in training and leadership development, working across multiple industries, from technology rollouts to government initiatives. She played a pivotal role in the 2010 Census Project, leading the development of training materials for the first-ever digital data collection. Her work with the Rochester Schools Modernization Program led to the creation of an innovative small business training initiative, impacting local entrepreneurs and serving as a model for other municipalities. Simultaneously, she explored entrepreneurship, running event planning and photo booth businesses before pivoting to a thriving six-figure training business.


Despite professional success, Kimberly faced personal challenges that led to a transformative self-discovery journey. Seeking answers through the VA health system, she was diagnosed with mild depression, which became the catalyst for developing the Journey to Joy Personal Transformation System. This breakthrough allowed her to reclaim her happiness, reinforcing her belief that joy is a powerful force for change. Now, she dedicates her time to helping others break free from limiting beliefs and external dependencies, ensuring they recognize their own potential.


A founding member of the Greater Rochester Black Business Alliance and an active board member of ROCEDC, Kimberly is deeply committed to community development. She believes that self-sufficiency and joy are the keys to transformation, a message she amplifies through her training programs, mentorship, and advocacy. Living in a community once defined by industrial success and now marked by economic struggle, she is determined to inspire others to reclaim their power and create the life they desire. Her personal mission remains simple yet profound: to make a positive impact on people she may never meet.

Core purpose/passion: Her personal mission remains simple yet profound: to make a positive impact on people she may never meet.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks to Randy Lyman about integrating emotional intelligence and spirituality into business, the power of leading from the heart, and how true fulfillment comes from purpose—not just profit.

For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/randy-lyman  

Highlights from today's episode include:

Randy Lyman

People know that I'm there to support them and help them win, and when they feel safe, they get along better. They don't show up with their guard all protected, right? And they know that I'm there to help them succeed, then they're going to get behind my ideas

Randy Lyman  10:50

And so if I'm a leader, that means I can't get the work done by myself. I have to involve other people, and when I'm able to get the best from the group, then, that gives me power, not from a place of ego, but from a place of being able to accomplish.

Manon Bolliger

And in healing, it's, it's much less structured. But there's really parallels that you can pull from both. And then another thing to notice is that there's, it's also relationship based. So you work with people in your organization the same way you work with clients.

 

ABOUT RANDY LYMAN:

Randy Lyman, The Purpose-Driven Leader, is a physicist and exited founder who has redefined what it means to create purpose-driven success in the building and growth of his multiple seven-figure companies. Randy combines decades of experience in business with a deep commitment to fostering emotional intelligence and spiritual grounding. His upcoming book, The Third Element, due to be released on March 18, 2025, makes these complex concepts accessible and actionable.
Randy’s entrepreneurial journey began in the technical world of physics and engineering, where he founded and grew a business that became an industry leader. Despite his professional success, he experienced a pivotal moment when he realized that stress and emotional disconnection were holding back his potential and the success of his team. This realization inspired him to focus on cultivating emotional awareness and creating a culture of belonging, which led to dramatic business growth and a renewed sense of purpose.
The Third Element is the culmination of Randy’s insights, offering readers a powerful framework to unlock the full potential of the Law of Attraction. It reveals the missing piece in manifestation that most people overlook—emotions. Randy teaches readers how unhealed emotions may be secretly shaping their reality and how to transform them into their greatest manifesting ally. By healing old wounds and embracing emotional awareness, readers can bridge science and spirituality to create lasting abundance and personal fulfillment.
Today, Randy shares these principles with individuals and organizations seeking clarity, purpose, and transformation. His teachings equip others to harness the power of emotional intelligence, foster meaningful connections, and turn stress into a tool for personal and professional growth. His work is a testament to the idea that when people feel acknowledged and connected, they achieve extraordinary results in all areas of life.
Beyond his professional endeavors, Randy is a craftsman at heart, designing custom motorcycle motors and restoring classic cars—a passion that reflects his love for precision and creativity. Married and deeply committed to his family and community, Randy exemplifies the balance of visionary ambition and grounded authenticity. His mission is to inspire others to heal, connect, and unlock their full potential, proving that the journey to abundance begins with emotional awareness and transformation.

Core purpose/passion: Research shows that at least 75% of leaders lack emotional intelligence which can contribute to poor team performance and success. Randy would like to discuss The Role of Emotional Intelligence in Business Success. He will discuss how addressing emotional wounds and fostering emotional intelligence can lead to measurable business outcomes. He will provide tips on how leaders can practically apply these insights to improve team performance and achieve long-term organizational success.

they want to lose the weight, and that's a great thing to get healthy. But what they don't realize is how highly addictive sugar and refined carbohydrates. And, you know, food that is high in sugar, it's addictive, and they don't realize that.

 

Christine Trimpe  05:46

But it also includes starch or starchy vegetables and the factory foods, like, if you look at food ingredient labels, you'll see that there's sugar in almost everything in the grocery store, right? And when you go up and down the aisles. So I'm talking about sugar, grains, starchy vegetables.

 

Manon Bolliger  16:53
