Meet Linda Mackenzie
March 31, 2026

We're excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Linda Mackenzie. We hope you'll enjoy our conversation with Linda below.

Hi Linda, really happy you were able to join us today and we're looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let's start with the heart of it all - purpose. How did you find your purpose?

My purpose found me after years of being groomed by family and outside experiences. Yet a purpose is always fluid, constantly changing, and evolving. You realize overtime that you are always in the right place in every moment. That everything you do leads to your purpose. You just have to trust the process and be open to it leading you right to where you are supposed to be.

Let me say this…I am an original Renaissance woman. I started out wanting to be an art teacher. I had won an award from The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and a scholarship to Pratt Institute, which being poor I could not take because the art materials alone were $1000. a year back in 1967. So I went to community college, got married, had a great baby girl, and subsequently divorced. Then life took me in a way different direction.
I was a former telecom-datacom engineer who designed worldwide communications networks for the airlines and Fortune 1000 companies, I also had a pioneering entrepreneurial spirit. I launched one of the first used PC stores in America, a datacom consulting firm, a gift manufacturing company, and was President of a dietary supplement manufacturing corporation. I am also a 30-year radio host, TV personality, hypnotherapist, and world-renown God-based psychic who worked for governments, countries and police departments.

Today, I head one of my proudest accomplishments to date, as President of CREATIVE HEALTH & SPIRIT- a Manhattan Beach based media & publishing company started in 1995, and Founder of HEALTHYLIFE.NET - ALL POSITIVE TALK RADIO which commenced in October, 2002 and HRNradio.com, a positive podcast portal in October, 2020. Plus this year my 1st children's book 'The Kaleidoscope World - A Randy Amanda Adventure' and 12-song record 'The Kaleidoscope World - Joyful Songs for Staying Positive' will be coming out in mid-April 2026 to help kids stay positive and transcend fear. Imagine participating in a song album at 76! How fun is that!

Through all of my life I found my underlying purpose and mission was to help eliminate fear, advance positive thought, and encourage the concept that we are all one - here for the greater good of all. I am still doing that!

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

Although I still run the radio network HealthyLife.net ,which reaches 177 million listeners a year, and do my weekly call-in radio show, these days I am focusing on publishing. I am very excited about my latest project - a book, eBook, audio book 'The Kaleidoscope World - A Randy Manda Adventure' and my 12-song record 'The Kaleidoscope World - Joyful Songs for Staying Positive' being released April, 2026.
With negative emotions climbing nationwide taking its toll on mental health, wellness and happiness, an age-appropriate book is offering kids 9 -13 - and adults - strategies to help cope, stay positive and thrive.

Imagine combining the action elements of the Princess Bride with the magic of Harry Potter; add a smidgen of the odd characters in Alice In Wonderland; a dollop of music like in the Wizard of Oz; and teach the Universal Principles of how the power of love, positive thought and facing fear can actualize dreams, and you have - The Kaleidoscope World.

The children's folk song album is where each track has whimsical characters woven into unforgettable melodies. The lyrics contain positive upbeat messages to help all people thrive and stay positive. This album was made, with some amazing artists and musicians at Total Access Studios in Redondo Beach (where Van Morrison recorded 'Moondance') to illustrate and reinforce how the power of love, staying positive and facing fear can actualize dreams.

I am on a mission to help children (and adults) stay positive and think for themselves. By giving them tools in a fun, engaging story, children learn what stops positive thought, which leads the way to a more positive, joyful, connected life. It's an added plus that adults like the book and songs too!
n addition, TheKaleidoscopeWorld.com website, also coming in April 2026, has educational fun activities, teacher lesson plans, and in-school and virtual events to help young readers explore their own feelings, while giving parents, teachers and counselors activities and a structured way to start meaningful conversations about negative emotions and fear.

My heart is filled with positive energy and joy to be doing this. We need it so much in this time. If I can help even one person stay positive I am happy.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

To Feel, Trust and Know. Your intuitive power is vast and if you learn to trust it you will be able to actualize goals and be exactly where you are meant to be. You may think it's easy, but it really is hard to adapt to this as a lifestyle. Let me explain.
Your intuition (your gut feel) is right about 99% of the time. When your head gets involved, right after that initial 'gut feel' moment, is when negative emotions (e.g., like doubt, indecision) may come in which delays action.

What you have to realize is that there are no mistakes, only learning experiences which get you to your next step. If something is meant to happen, it will. There are no 'lost' opportunities. Either the opportunity will come around again or a new one will present itself. In fact, the only thing you can rely on IS change, which is cyclical. That means what goes up, must come down, and then goes up again. That is the cycle of life. Nothing stays the same.
So if you recognize that everything is changing, and know there are no mistakes or lost opportunities than you can use your feel, trust and know method to make your life easier and attain your goals. What is that? When you get that initial gut feel ask yourself…Does this feel right? Do I Trust this? Do I Know this is right? If all three questions are Yes - then just do it As Bodhi the Gnome sings in his song on the The Kaleidoscope World Album sings. "So, Feel, trust and know. You'll get where you need to go, Close your eyes; Feel the energy, When you have to make a choice, Listen to your inner voice. Feel the Light, Choose Positively.'

How would you spend the next decade if you somehow knew that it was your last?
I am 76. I am told I am going to live until 102. So life keeps re-inventing itself and I keep reinventing my life. I eat well, sleep well, exercise, only use natural health methods, and try to life a life of balance, mindfulness, gratitude, and kindness. I am 100% fit and healthy, take no drugs and try to live live life in the moment with no expectations or attachments. I would change nothing with my past life or in the future. Life is perfect in every moment.
