Voyage LA Magazine | LA City Guide

Los Angeles is an incredible city - but it's so large and so vast and so diverse that all of us are missing out on tons of great people, businesses, organizations, events and more. VoyageLA wants to highlight the best of LA - from freelance makeup artists that will dazzle you to the best Meetup groups in town. Today we’d like to introduce Linda Mackenzie.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?

Everything I have done has led me to my next step in life. Growing up in New York and moving to California in 1977, I have had an amazing journey filled with multiple experiences. I have lived life from being poor to middle class to nouveau riche and even experienced the old money culture. Through it all I have found that money just buys you time to do what you want to do. I also found that you always get what you need in every moment, of every day, no matter what.

My professional career has been feature rich as well and has also led me to where I am today. In 1978 I was telecom engineer who designed worldwide communications networks for the airlines and Fortune 1000 companies. In 1983 I launched one of the first used PC stores in America. After 1 year of retail I realized that retail wasn’t for me, and rented a 57' yacht, threw a big party and shut down the business. I then opened a datacom consulting firm, a gift manufacturing company and was also President of a dietary supplement manufacturing corporation.

After a bout of Epstein Barr Virus/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome I changed directions. In 1995 I started a media and publishing company called Creative Health & Spirit. I began in the human potential movement, publishing books, feature writing in various publications and doing national seminars and workshops to help people use their mind to heal and open up to spirituality, I have released 6 books, 14 audiovisualization products all on natural health and spirit.

In 1996 I started in radio. I was a talk show host on KPSL, Wisdom, PAX and CRN networks and was the voice of KGMD. Today I continue to produce and host my radio show, the LINDA MACKENZIE SHOW, on the HealthyLife.net Radio Network (www.healthylife.net) which I founded in October 2002. This is one of my proudest accomplishments since this radio network airs 24/7 on over 75 distribution channels to over 89 million listeners a year in 137 countries. With over 45 expert hosts we air all positive live, on demand, and podcast programs on news, natural health, lifestyle and spiritual genres. We also donate 10 hours of local program to our South Bay Community called ‘SouthBay Saturdays.’ A companion network is also available, HRNradio.com, which is a positive podcast portal I started in October, 2020. It has over 3,600 positive programs people can listen to for free. In recognition of my work in 2006 I received the ABI Great Women of the 21st Century for Radio Broadcasting. But, the real accomplishment is that I provide a positive venue to help people in truth and integrity. I am really proud about that.

I am no stranger to TV and film, I have appeared on almost all major U.S. network and cable channels, as well as, BBC, German and Tokyo TV. I was a major star player in several award-winning documentaries. I wrote and produced the MANY FACES OF PSYCHIC ABILITY, a HD DVD released in January, 2009 and I recently wrote, produced and performed in LIVE WITH LINDA, TV variety special in September, 2025 which you can find on soulsearch.tv.

Having realized my psychic abilities at the age of 8, I studied for many years and came out as a God-based Psychic at age 37. Many celebrities, politicians, musicians and companies confer with me because I keep their identity in strictest privacy. I was also a 15-year member of the International Society for Paranormal Research and was part of many paranormal investigations, including helping discern paranormal activity for the British government and aiding the Los Angeles Police and Sheriff Departments. In January 2009 Linda Mackenzie’s PSYCHIC SECRETS UNVEILED, a 17- part interactive and display museum exhibit, opened at the Paraplex Paranormal Museum in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her monthly predictions can be found on her website LindaMackenzie.net

I am also a Doctoral Clinical Hypnotherapist Candidate. A member of the American Board of Hypnotherapy, I was honored with a Certificate of Appreciation for Furthering the Profession from the International Association of Clinical Hypnotherapists and acclaimed as one of AIH’s “most prolific creative minds.” I have just started a guided meditation class at the Anderson Senior Center in Redondo Beach to give back to the community.

At 76, and in perfect health, I am still looking for ways to help people transcend fear and propagate positive thought in truth and integrity — which has been a goal close to my heart for as long as I can remember. So my latest project which I am working on is a children’s book called THE KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD: A RANDY-MANDA ADVENTURE. It will be available in April 2026 as a paperback, ebook, and audiobook The fun part is that I wrote the lyrics and melody for a 12-song album. They’re catchy songs performed by some off Broadway and talented singer friends plus, me as a character voice. The songs have messages that help children stay positive and navigate life with tools they can use to even help transcend fear. My daughter, Lisa Reitinger, who is a teacher is providing educational lesson plans for each of the eight characters in the book, who represent something that stops positive thought. This project is near and dear to my heart.

Life is always a wonderful place where you can make a difference. No matter whether that difference is large or small – it counts. Just being kind and respecting all things can make a difference not just in someone else’s life, but in your own. My life has been all about giving out information and insight. By giving people self-empowerment tools, I hope they can navigate life’s everyday challenges easier and much more positively. I want them to have a happy, healthy life.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?

This is funny.

Being a woman growing up in the early sixties you couldn’t even get a credit card without your husband’s approval much less thrive. Throughout my life, and even today, the majority of women salaries are much lower in pay scale than men. It was a male oriented world I was cast in. I was the first woman in datacom in any airline in the world, then I went into the male dominated vitamin/supplement manufacturing industry and lastly, the male dominated radio industry. But it’s only a struggle if you view it as a struggle. If you view struggle as an opportunity and find your way in, around, over, under or through each obstacle, ethically and truthfully, it no longer becomes a struggle. It’s a growth experience. Just remember necessity is the mother of invention. Be creative.

However my best life and only inspiration these days is interaction with God. I wake up in the morning, name 5 things I am grateful for, do a couple of yoga poses and then just live in, and work within, the synchronicity of the moment. No schedule, no agenda – just showing up and doing what I am guided to do. It’s fun and liberating.
