Real life. Real stories. Real people.
Mildred Lynn McDonald
Internet Radio/Podcast Host (California)
Mildred Lynn’s life adventure whisked her across North America, through the industries of Health & Fitness, the executive halls of Fortune 50 high tech companies, and into the intriguing arena of Life Purpose, Energy Medicine and Environmental studies.
She has an advanced degree in Science & Nutrition, training in Adult Education, graduated as a Certified Integrative Coach, and currently combines all three as a Healing Conversationalist.
The common thread has been a love of people and the sincere desire to help everyone live their passion, find balance, and experience life fully and completely. With a little time and patience, she transformed her passion, intuitive gifts, and coaching skills into a vibrant mentoring and life coaching practice.

HiC’s approach to a reading is creating a space that honours the person and allows them to open the door to, ultimately, have a conversation with him- or herself.
HiC is also the host of popular Internet radio shows (r)Evolution and The Amethyst Oracle : Divination with a Queer Twist on the SoulVox Network. Find out more about HiC’s offerings and how to contact him for a private session at Tarot by HiC.
