The Tammy Peterson Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

What does it mean when Mary calls you, and what happens when people from every walk of faith begin to answer? In this episode I sit down with my dear friend Dr. Margarita Mooney Clayton, a theologian, author, and professor of practical theology at Princeton Theological Seminary and visiting research fellow at Oxford University, to talk about her upcoming book "When Mary Calls: Surprising Encounters with the Mother of God," a collection of true spiritual memoirs from people whose lives were transformed by an encounter with the Mother of God. We explore some of the most moving stories in the book, including a young Protestant woman who experienced three miscarriages and received a vision of Mary that literally saved her life, the hidden stained glass windows of Cuba that survived communist rule wrapped in tarps in someone's backyard, and the ways that sacred art, music, and embodied ritual are quietly drawing seekers back to a living faith. Margarita founded the Scala Foundation to restore culture through beauty, liberal arts education, and worship, and her work sits at the crossroads of everything I believe matters most right now in our world. I have been on my own journey toward Mary for most of my life, and this conversation brought so much of that into focus for me. If you have ever felt something was missing in your faith, or wondered why Mary seems to be calling to people across traditions, I think this episode will speak to you. Watch to the end, leave a comment telling me about your own experience with Mary, and please subscribe if you haven't yet.

Are light frequency therapy and vibrational sound healing real tools for physical and emotional healing, or are we just beginning to understand the language of the body? In this episode, I sit down with Alvin Harbour, founder of the IVOLV wellness center, and Linda Locurto to explore their work using sound therapy, light therapy, ozone, and resonance-based healing to support the nervous system, shift biochemistry, and restore the body's ability to repair itself. Alvin shares how his vision emerged from personal loss and his drive to recreate healing through vibration, oxygen, and light, using equipment he has personally built and modified, while Linda offers insight into her role in creating a safe, womb-like healing environment and helping clients shift from fight-or-flight into parasympathetic regulation through resonance therapy. Together, we discuss how sound frequencies, vibrational tables, and emotional safety work together to support deep healing and performance optimization. Let me know your thoughts in the comments, subscribe for more conversations like this, and share this episode with anyone exploring alternative health and nervous system healing.
