This episode of Let's Talk About It with Dora Sherry features Ramse Rogers, CEO of TerraNova Alliance, who discusses her company's mission to address the affordable housing crisis and provide safe living environments.

TerraNova Alliance Mission and Model

Ramse Rogers built TerraNova Alliance to create "affordable housing" and "safe haven communities" for those who lack a safe place to live, driven by her background in real estate investing and a passion for philanthropic work. The company serves multiple demographics, including:

• The workforce and transient workers.
• Individuals coming out of treatment or re-entry programs.
• At-risk and homeless youth.
• Survivors of human trafficking.

The model emphasizes community, providing a safe environment for residents as they go through treatment and programs. Residents start in a co-living environment and can "graduate" to more independent living options like duplexes and ADUs within the community.

Operations and Philosophy

• Scope: TerraNova operates nationwide, with Ramse based in Idaho, and works with nonprofit organizations (like COBS in Idaho), local authorities (especially for survivors of human trafficking), and insurance companies.
• Property Focus: The company revamps RV parks, often adding value by placing tiny homes or additional pads, converting them for use as workforce housing or safe haven communities, depending on the demand and location.
• Long-Term Goal: The ultimate aim is to build a sufficient portfolio to donate portions of the properties to nonprofits that need shelter for the targeted demographics.

Symbolism: TerraNova's symbol is the Phoenix, representing the journey of rising from the ashes to find "hope, freedom, and prosperity," which aligns with the company's core values of honesty and transparency.

She discusses the inspiration behind her book, No Greater Love, revealing the immense sacrifice her mother made to save her life—a sacrifice that led to over 65 reconstructive surgeries in Becky's lifetime. Becky opens up about growing up in a wheelchair, struggling with anger as a teenager, and eventually finding acceptance and purpose through her faith, grounded in the belief that she is "fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalm 139:14).

Host Dora Sherry welcomes JoAnn Kisler, owner of Breath of Energia Healing, for a powerful conversation about how women can unlock their greater purpose and heal from a lifetime of challenges.

They delve into the concept of a "soul map" to uncover and heal generational and ancestral trauma, sometimes tracing issues back to in utero experiences. JoAnn explains the importance of shifting from a victim to a survivor mindset. She also discusses her upcoming retreat, "In My Mother's Eyes," which is designed to help women heal the mother wound. The conversation also covers her corporate workshops, which help balance management and employees by addressing workplace stress and anxiety. Finally, Joanne shares resources including her book, Finding Your Flow Through Your Chakras, and free meditations on her website, www.breathofenergiahealing.com.

The Wildlife Whisperer: Ned Bruha on Iguana Rain, Bat Lawsuits, and Humane Animal Control

Dora Sherry welcomes Ned Bruha, the "Wildlife Whisperer," to the show. Ned, who runs a humane wildlife management business, clarifies his controversial methods: he does not trap, relocate, kill, or poison animals. Instead, he works within the existing ecosystem, "manipulating females" like raccoons to move their families on their own, a method he uses because relocation and translocation research proves it truly kills the animal within two weeks.

Ned shares his unique start in the business—battling chipmunks burrowing into veteran graves in his childhood backyard in Wisconsin. He confirms one of Florida’s wilder rumors: iguanas truly do fall from the sky due to cold weather slowing their bodies down.

The conversation turns to the most dangerous animal he deals with: humans. He explains that he makes a living off the poor work ethic and tiny flaws left by builders, roofers, and other tradesmen, noting that common homeowner mistakes include using duct tape and expanding foam. Ned recounts a horrific case where a client won over a million dollars after a previous homeowner covered up a severe bat guano infestation; the former owner later tried to hire a hitman to kill the family. He explains the non-lethal method for bat removal, which must be done outside of maternity season when pups can’t fly.

Ned also details his high-level osprey work, including installing electromagnetic deterrents and platforms on Andros Island to prevent birds from nesting on a massive radar tower. Finally, he recounts his disappointing experience with a past reality television series where producers chose to create drama over delivering the educational show he was promised.
