Episode #187 Carolyn woodHealing The Heart: From Grief To Growth

What if the first step to real healing isn’t hustle or “positive vibes,” but feeling safe enough to hear yourself again? That question threads through our conversation with Carolyn Wood, a certified heart healer, hypnotherapist, and mind coach whose path from early loss to purposeful service will resonate with anyone navigating burnout, grief, or the quiet ache of “not enough.”We start with Carolyn’s turning point—recognizing a lifetime of anxiety that felt normal until it didn’t—and move into the practices that changed her trajectory: rapid transformational therapy, EFT tapping, Reiki, and heart healing. She breaks down what hypnotherapy actually is (heightened focus, not mind control), why subconscious memories can freeze at the age we first felt an emotion, and how revisiting those moments with compassion frees the adult self to choose differently. Along the way, we tackle the scarcity mindset, the hidden loops steering our decisions, and the body’s role in carrying what the mind avoids.Carolyn also shares the inspiration behind her High Vibe Besties Book Club and her new Feel Good Academy, designed to start where most programs don’t—creating safety—then exploring core wounds like enoughness, love, worth, acceptance, and trust. We swap practical tools for handling daily triggers, discuss what to look for in a practitioner who honors heart, mind, body, and soul, and highlight books that actually land: The Four Agreements, Anatomy of the Spirit, and The Alchemist.

Episode #186 Laura Ordile Hypnosis, Color, And The Subconscious: Practical Paths To Real Change

What if change could feel easier than you’ve been told? We sit down with hypnotherapist and color coach  Laura Ordile to explore how subconscious work, NLP, and energy practices can loosen old loops, quiet anxiety, and turn insight into lasting action. Laura shares why hypnosis became her “practical” choice, how early protective parts can keep us stuck, and what it takes to update those patterns with compassion instead of force.We dig into common myths—no one can make you cluck like a chicken without consent—and focus on what actually happens in a session: integration, not erasure; movement, not suppression. Laura explains the “root-and-weed” model of trauma, how NLP unhooks intense emotion from memories in minutes, and why emotions are meant to pass through rather than define our days. For the skeptics and the curious alike, she offers grounded examples: easing IBS and chronic pain, untangling anxiety, and helping habits shift when willpower alone falls short.One of the most surprising tools is color. White for clarity, blue for truth, green for abundance—anchoring your intention with a visible cue trains the mind to gather the right signals from the world. We also share how to choose a practitioner you trust, what red flags to avoid, and why falling asleep during deep work can be a sign your system finally feels safe. The core message is simple but powerful: you’re never too broken to heal, and the moment you take a step, the path steps back.Ready to try a gentler, smarter route to change?

Episode #185 Mayumi Pachkoski Skeptic To Six Figures: Building An Energy Healing Business

A New Year of Reiki Set Reiki What if your skincare routine could carry intention—and your healing practice could carry itself? Tracy sits down with  Mayumi Pachkoski, a Japan-born aesthetician and energy healer who built a six-figure salon from scratch and now mentors practitioners to grow with clarity, ethics, and calm. From her early skepticism to the moment clients began feeling “something more” in her facials, Mayumi shares how Reiki and kaizen turned curiosity into a credible business.We explore a lesser-known history: why many Japanese people never learned about Reiki post–World War II, and how the practice quietly resurfaced after flourishing abroad. That context reframes modern misconceptions—this isn’t a trend, it’s a resilient tradition. Mayumi also addresses client fears about “bad energy,” offering clear language for what actually shifts during a session: stagnation clears, flow returns, and life softens. She gives practical ways to bring energy into skincare—infusing products with intention, engaging palm chakras during cleansing, and visualizing renewal—so everyday rituals become mini tune-ups.Then we get tactical. Mayumi’s business guidance blends mindset and mechanics: start on the side while you save, invest in real business skills, price with self-respect, and focus growth on one lever at a time. She explains how money is simply energy in motion, how to release guilt around charging, and why consistency beats aesthetics for ROI. We talk boundaries, referrals when your calendar is full, entity choices, and the underrated power of “Reiki-ing” your business—goals, systems, and finances included.If you’re a healer ready to grow without burnout, this conversation offers a grounded map: fewer, better moves, repeated with intention.

Episode #184 Healing In Motion With Dr. Emma Wagner

What if the strongest medicine is the moment you finally trust your body? Our conversation with Dr. Emma Wagner travels from a guardian angel’s nudge at age twelve to the grounded science of chiropractic and the subtle art of energy work. Emma shows how anatomy, mindset, and spirit can live in the same room, letting pain teach without letting it define you. Her story of emergency C‑section recovery reframes healing as surrender plus smart habits: anti-inflammatory nutrition, nervous system regulation, and consistent hands-on care.We dig into a hot-button topic: can faith and energy work coexist? Emma’s approach is radically respectful—no dogma, no conversion, just clear boundaries and open channels so clients stay rooted in their beliefs while exploring their own energy. If the word Reiki triggers you, you’ll hear a compassionate reframe. We also unpack practical strategy: how to choose a practitioner, why weekly tune-ups beat crisis care, and how intention, touch, and alignment change an adjustment from mechanical to transformative. Along the way, we talk about journaling early insights so they don’t vanish, using intuition as a guidepost, and tailoring steps to the person in front of you rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all protocol.Whether you’re searching for holistic pain relief, curious about chiropractic and energy medicine together, or ready to build a sustainable self-care rhythm, you’ll find grounded wisdom and actionable steps.

Episode #183 Kerith Taylor How An Empath Turned Pain Into A Healing Practice

What if the thing that once made you feel different became the compass that guides your life? We sit with Reiki practitioner and spiritual coach Kara Taylor to explore how childhood visitations, a life‑altering loss, and years in corporate shaped an empath who leads with feeling first. Kara shares the intimate arc from fairy footprints to a grounded Reiki practice, revealing how boundaries, discernment, and daily rituals can turn energetic overwhelm into steady clarity.We dive into the moment Reiki gave language to what her body already knew, and how learning the chakras reframed “too sensitive” as “highly attuned.” Kara talks candidly about setting limits with both people and spirit, why alignment matters more than aesthetics when choosing a practitioner, and how lunar cycles and the Schumann resonance can amplify what sensitives pick up. She also addresses common myths—especially the idea that Reiki is religious—offering a calm, inclusive view that honors faith while keeping the focus on energy, intention, and healing outcomes.For aspiring healers, Kara’s advice is refreshingly practical: release timelines, find mentors, hire help for the tasks that drain you, and build community before scaling. We also tour her services—one‑on‑one Reiki, empath coaching, NLP for limiting beliefs, and meditation support—and preview her 2026 beachfront retreat designed to help newcomers safely experience modalities like sound baths, yoga, and mini Reiki sessions.If this conversation brings you a sense of recognition or relief, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

She was raised in a home where expression and emotional safety were limited-her mother communicated through anger and intensity, while her father, an empath himself, kept his sensitivity quiet in a time when intuition was often labeled as "too much," "strange," or "woo woo." Growing up betweenemotional chaos and unspoken emotional depth shaped Kerith into an observer, a feeler, and eventually a seeker. While others made sense of life through what they could see, Kerith learned to navigate by what she could feel. Her sensitivity became her guidance system long before she had language for it.After years of pushing her sensitivity down to survive in both family dynamics and high-demand corporate environments, Kerith reached a point of awakening. She began exploring meditation, energy work, and somatic healing practices, and that is where she encountered Reiki. Her first experience with Reiki felt like remembering something ancient, like coming home to herself.From that moment, she committed to deep training and integration of Reiki as a foundation for her personal healing and for the work she now shares with others.Today, Kerith supports clients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals through Reiki, empath coaching, and healing workshops, with her first retreat currently being planned for 2026. Her mission is to help people understand their sensitivity not as a burden, but as a powerful internal guidance system.
