On today's episode, I welcome Christine Marie Aitchison, a Ceremonial Medicine Woman, healer, author, and founder of The Healing Circle Collective in Portland, OR. Christine brings together her BSN in nursing with years of experience in plant spirit facilitation, shamanic reiki, sound journeying, and sacred ceremonial work.

Christine guides clients through profound emotional and spiritual healing, helping move through C-PTSD, physical illness, toxic relationship cycles, and deep patterns of disempowerment. Her work honors the full spectrum of healing: mind, body, spirit, ancestry, and soul.

In this conversation, we explore what makes plant spirit medicine so uniquely transformative. Christine shares how one journey can help move past the layers of the ego and into honest self-recognition.

This is a powerful, grounding, soul-opening conversation.

In today’s episode, we dive into the systemic challenges women face in the workplace — not just later in life, but at every age. Too young. A mother. Too old. There’s always a narrative ready to sideline or diminish women’s value in corporate spaces.

My guest, Bonnie Marcus, is an author, coach, speaker, and podcast host who equips ambitious professional women with the tools to overcome workplace barriers and advance their careers on their own terms. She is the author of The Politics of Promotion and Not Done Yet!—two powerful guides that help women navigate corporate dynamics, claim power, and define success beyond the expectations of companies or titles.

Together, we explore what “success” actually means when you strip away external pressure and return to your own values. We talk about the emotional cost of chasing the A+ at work, the patterns that drain women’s vitality, and how reclaiming your priorities becomes the foundation for confidence, clarity, and career momentum.

About Bonnie

Bonnie equips ambitious professional women with the tools and strategies they need to overcome systemic barriers in the workplace and take charge of their careers.

In this illuminating episode, we sit down with Laura Donahue, known as LaDonna, astrologist, tarot practitioner, and intuitive guide. Tarot has been stereotyped, feared, and misunderstood for centuries, often labeled a “dark art.” But its true origin story tells a different tale: tarot began in Italy as a tool for introspection, a mirror for the inner world, and a compass pointing us back to our own power.

Tarot can reframe how even the most difficult and painful experiences can represent not what is being taken from you but what is being offered to you. In the hands of an experienced practitioner, tarot can help bring you back to your blueprint, your calling, and your intrinsic power.

About LaDonna

Laura Donahue aka “LaDonna” is an astrologist and tarot practitioner. She’s been using her own astrological blueprint as a roadmap for life, as well as elements of human design, and has been using tarot to confirm, realign, or expand her intuition for the past 5+ years. These tools have helped her find alignment, and therefore success in career, love, money, health, and more! 2 years ago she brought these tools to market, offering guidance to clients seeking similar outcomes. This is her way of contributing to the evolution of consciousness, assisting her clients in returning to self. When do life the way were designed to do it, we streamline our individual success and the success of human harmony.

On this powerful episode, we explore one of the most misunderstood forms of trauma—the kind rooted in faith, doctrine, and spiritual authority. Religious trauma doesn’t always come from dramatic events. Sometimes, it’s the subtle conditioning, the fear of punishment, the pressure to conform, or the shame disguised as holiness that leaves the deepest wounds.

As the founder of Spark: The Secret Place, Sarah has guided thousands through profound emotional and spiritual breakthroughs using her trauma-informed approach to subconscious healing.
