Death, Dying & Past Lives with Dawn Grace Kelly

How much of your life is quietly shaped by fear — especially the fear of death?
What if understanding death more deeply could help you live more fully?
 
In this deeply expansive conversation, I’m joined by Dawn Grace Kelly, New Zealand’s most experienced Past Life Regression Therapy Trainer, to explore death, dying, and the soul’s journey beyond this lifetime.
Death is something many of us fear, avoid, or struggle to speak openly about. Yet it is the one experience guaranteed for every one of us. We open the conversation around what happens as we die, how our unresolved emotions, thoughts and feelings are carried with us and how our relationship with death shapes the way we live.
We also dive deeply into the powerful healing modality of Past Life Regression. We explore why revisiting a past life is profoundly healing and why this work is so potent in reducing fears especially around death.
This conversation isn’t dark or morbid — it’s deeply human, comforting, and ultimately about learning how to live with greater awareness, peace, and openness.
If you’re curious or fearful about death, the soul, and what happens when we die, this conversation is for you.

It's Not A Malfunction - Menopause as a portal, not a problem to fix

What if menopause isn’t something to fix — but a process of unravelling to let go of what no longer serves you?In a culture so quick to medicate, what do we miss when we don’t pause to listen to what the body is asking?
Perimenopause and menopause have become huge topics of conversation — but often in a very narrow way.
So much of what we hear is fear-based and focused on managing symptoms… what to take, what to do, how to make it easier, how to avoid discomfort.
But what if that’s only a small part of a much bigger picture — one that includes the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of this transition?
In this episode, Leila and I explore menopause through a wider lens — one that sees the body not as something failing, but as something adapting, shifting, and responding to a lifetime of experiences, patterns, and pressures.
We talk about how this stage of life is influenced by the life you’ve lived up to this point and why reflecting on the past, processing unresolved experiences, and letting go of what you’ve been carrying are such an important part of the process.
This isn’t about dismissing medical support — far from it. It’s about complementing it and opening up the conversation to look beyond symptom management and beginning to ask — what is this phase of life asking of us?

Tension Tells Stories - Fascia, Feelings and the patterns that shape our pain with Physiotherapist Patrycja Maryszczak

What if your pain isn’t something to fix — but a story waiting to be heard?
If you’re living with chronic pain or recurring injuries, have you ever considered the emotional connection?
In this episode, physiotherapist Patrycja Maryszczak and I challenge the way we’ve been taught to understand pain. We explore how tension, fascia, and posture aren’t just physical — they’re shaped by your nervous system, your emotions, and the life you’ve lived.
We dive into why healing isn’t always about doing more physical rehab, but about understanding the relational, emotional, and deeply human aspects of what your body is holding.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in recurring pain, tightness, or patterns that don’t quite make sense, this conversation will help you see your body in a whole new way.

Breaking the Cycle - Navigating Staying Together or Separating Well with Kimberlee Sweeny

Are you reacting to your partner… or to something much older?  
What if relationship conflict isn't failure but the doorway to growth?  
 
In this episode I’m joined by Kimberlee Sweeny, New Zealand’s first certified divorce and separation coach. Together we explore relationship conflict and the ways our past quietly shapes our present relationships.  
We talk about how unprocessed wounds show up in adult partnerships, and why doing the inner work leads either to a healthier relationship… or the clarity and courage to leave. 
This conversation is ultimately about responsibility, growth, and breaking cycles — so that what we carry doesn’t become what our children inherit. 
If you’ve ever wondered whether to stay, leave, or how to navigate either path in a healthier way, this episode offers a grounded and compassionate perspective. 
 
What you don’t process you may pass on.  
Emotional Release Coaching supports you to navigate relationship conflict.

The Body Speaks - Understanding Emotional Anatomy

What if your body isn’t malfunctioning — but communicating?  
How would your relationship with your symptoms change if you could understand them? 
 
In this episode, I’m joined by Linda Garvin to explore the powerful topic of Emotional Anatomy - the language of the body and the way our soul speaks to us through physical sensations and symptoms to show us where we are out of alignment. 
Linda’s journey into this work is a beautiful bridge between science and energetics. Together, we explore how to interpret the body’s messages; uncovering what different areas may be communicating, and why symptoms are invitations rather than obstacles. 
We talk about the metaphors we use every day and how they reveal the deep connection between emotion and physiology. 
This conversation is an invitation to shift from trying to fix or silence your symptoms… to listening and interpreting. 
Because the body speaks long before the mind is ready to understand.

Healing the Inner Child - Reclaiming Intuition through Inner Child Regression with Dawn Grace Kelly

What happens when we stop living only in our heads and begin listening to the wisdom held within our bodies and inner child?
In this episode, the deeply intuitive Dawn Grace Kelly—spiritual healer, regressionist, teacher, mentor, and guide—joins me for a heartfelt conversation about inner child healing and regression work.
We explore how disconnection from our inner child can lead to disconnection from our intuition, our bodies, and ultimately ourselves. We talk about why distraction and overthinking are protective responses, how unprocessed emotions live in the body, and why inner child regression can access layers of healing that talking alone often can’t reach.
This conversation gently opens the door to the world of inner child regression, intuition, and embodied healing. It’s an invitation to come home to yourself, reclaim your inner wisdom, and remember the light that has always been within you.

Healing the Whole Family - Ali Postles on Chiropractic Care for Body & Emotions

What if your body is still carrying emotional stress that your mind no longer remembers?
In this episode, I’m joined by Ali Postles, a chiropractor whose work beautifully weaves together the physical and emotional aspects of wellbeing for the whole family.
We explore the powerful link between emotional stress and physical health, how unresolved emotions live in the body, and why addressing emotional stress is key to allowing energy to flow freely through the entire system.
We also talk about the energetic and nervous system connection between parents and children, and why supporting caregivers is so often the key to supporting a child’s wellbeing.

Releasing the Past - Renee's Story of Parenting Neurodivergent Kids While Healing Herself

What if the breakthrough you’ve been searching for in parenting lies not in a new strategy, but in your own emotional healing?
In this powerful episode, I chat with Renee, a mum with ADHD whose parenting two neurodivergent boys, to explore her courageous journey of emotional healing through Emotional Release Coaching. Like so many parents, Renee was doing everything right on the outside to support herself and her children—diet changes, lifestyle shifts, counselling, supplements—yet she still felt overwhelmed, dysregulated, in physical pain and stuck in cycles she couldn’t quite understand.
Emotional Release work was the missing puzzle piece through which Renee began uncovering the deeper layers beneath her stress: the unprocessed childhood experiences, unmet needs, and survival patterns that were shaping her health and reactions today.
As she began to process her past, give herself compassion, and heal emotional wounds, she also shifted the energy of the whole family dynamic.
Renee’s story is honest, relatable, and deeply inspiring. If you’re a parent navigating overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, ADHD or neurodivergent family life — or if you’ve ever wondered whether your past could be impacting your present — this episode will give you hope, clarity, and a sense of what’s truly possible when we begin the inner work.
Healing isn’t about being perfect. It’s about taking steps and embracing the journey that unfolds.
