  • Dr. Janet Smith Warfield: The Labyrinth of Life and the Search for Meaning (Episode 6)
    May 15 2026

    Eric Mastrota, of The National Digest's "Their Journey" podcast, sits down with Dr. Janet Smith Warfield, founder of the Planetary Peace, Power, and Prosperity Legacy Foundation, in Episode 6 of this inspiring series.
    In this episode, Eric Mastrota and Dr. Warfield explore how people discover meaning through lived experience, spiritual practice, and changes in perception. A key theme is the labyrinth, which Dr. Warfield uses as a metaphor for life: the inward path represents the search for identity and one’s unique gifts, while the outward path reflects returning to the world in service of others. Their discussion also considers how growth is shaped not only by tangible outcomes, but by deeper awareness, intentional choices, and inner balance. Along the way, they discuss grounding practices such as integrity, accountability, Tai Chi, mantras, observing nature, and gardening, while also examining how shifts in perception can reshape emotional experience.

  • Dr. Janet Smith Warfield on Healing, Choice, and the Path to Planetary Peace (Episode 4)
    May 8 2026

    Eric Mastrota, of The National Digest's "Their Journey" podcast, sits down with Dr. Janet Smith Warfield, founder of the Planetary Peace, Power, and Prosperity Legacy Foundation, in Episode 4 of this inspiring series.

    Dr. Warfield’s discussion centers on the philosophies behind her foundation, Planetary Peace, Power, and Prosperity, emphasizing that language can either divide or connect depending on how it is used, and that deeper truths—what she describes as logos and the Tao -exist beneath words themselves. She highlights personal choice as a fundamental human power, encouraging people to reclaim agency through self-awareness and “inner work,” guided by six key questions about thought, feeling, need, choice, knowledge, and trust. Drawing from her own painful experiences of trauma, betrayal, and eventual forgiveness, she contrasts domineering “power over” relationships with collaborative “power with” dynamics, and concludes by advocating for intentional communities that foster safety, healing, and individuality.
