In this deeply poetic conversation, I sit down with writer, photographer, and intuitive storyteller April Isaacs, creator of Power Story Tarot Readings and author of The Ecstatic Wanderer. From years spent living nomadically in her van “Firefly” to discovering myth as a mirror for the soul, April shares how story, tarot, and wilderness have become her way of helping others reclaim their personal power.

Together, Jodi and April explore:T

• The difference between being “read to” and being witnessed and why the latter transforms.
• The origin of Power Story Readings and how mythic archetypes can awaken inner guidance.
• Why seeking curiosity instead of certainty can regulate the nervous system and create safety for the soul to remember.
• How storytelling in community (like Way of Council circles) restores collective regulation and belonging.
• Practices for tuning in to your body’s stories through myth, dreams, and ritual.

April reminds us that story is medicine, and being witnessed is sacred. Whether through tarot, myth, or dream, each of us holds a story that wants to be remembered, one that can lead us home to ourselves.

What happens when the healer becomes the one who needs healing?

In this moving and illuminating conversation, I sit down with Amy Marohn, a spiritual hypnotherapist, channel, and former rehabilitation professional whose own “mystery illness” and near-death experience became the catalyst for her soul’s unfolding.

Amy shares how years of chronic illness, medical dismissal, and despair led her to a life-changing moment of surrender and how that surrender opened the door to spiritual guidance, intuitive awakening, and a completely new way of understanding healing.

Together we explore:

• The sacred turning points that awaken healers to their deeper purpose
• How chronic illness and loss of control can become spiritual initiations
• Why the most powerful medicine we offer clients is our authentic presence
• How to release the chase for “more certifications” and trust your own inner guidance
• Practices to attune your frequency, clear your channel, and remember the healer within

This episode is a heartfelt invitation for therapists, healers, and helpers to slow down, listen inwardly, and rediscover the quiet frequency of authenticity that allows true healing to unfold, both for ourselves and for those we serve.

In this inspiring conversation, I sit down with Tammy Waldron, founder of Towanda Wellbeing and the RISE Intuitive Healing Arts Center. Tammy shares her powerful story of being adopted at five days old, the lifelong impact of her primal wound, and how energy healing opened the doorway to deep transformation as it touched places that traditional talk therapy could not.

Together, we explore:

• The hidden wounds of adoption and intergenerational trauma.
• Why traditional “mindset work” can’t fully resolve survival responses.
• The transformative potential of Theta Healing, Silent Counseling, and other spirit-led practices.
• How therapists and healers can prevent burnout by learning to regulate their own systems.
• The role of intuition as a precision clinical tool for therapists and practitioners.
• The power of presence, playfulness, and holding life’s challenges lightly.

Tammy also previews her upcoming presentation at the 2025 IFS Institute Conference on integrating Theta Healing with IFS, and she offers listeners a free gift to begin practicing nervous system regulation today.

In this episode of The Spiritually Curious Therapist, I sit down with Dr. Nadine Macaluso (“Dr. Nae”)—therapist, author, and survivor—to explore the complex reality of trauma bonds and the pathways to healing. Drawing on her personal story and professional expertise in somatic psychotherapy, Dr. Nae reveals how trauma bonds erode identity, how spirituality and surrender open the door to freedom, and why holistic practices like vagal toning, meditation, and ritual support nervous system repair.

Together, we discuss:

• The hidden power dynamics and intermittent reinforcement at the heart of trauma bonds.
• How survivors can reconnect with their authentic selves through body-based and spiritual practices.
• The role of surrender, meaning-making, and community in the healing process.
• Practical tools—from vagus nerve toning to ritual practices—that support nervous system regulation.
• Why resilience cannot be built in isolation and the importance of safe, supportive community.

This conversation is a must-listen for therapists, healers, and anyone seeking holistic pathways out of relational trauma and toward liberation of the soul.

In this expansive and heartfelt episode of The Spiritually Curious Therapist, I sit down with Joseph Drumheller, clinical hypnotherapist, spiritual teacher, and founder of JDH Academy. With over 30 years of experience and a rich personal journey through mystical awakening, Joseph invites us into the deeper terrain of healing where talk therapy meets quantum energy and soul-level transformation.

Together, we explore:

• How hypnotherapy can uncover and release subconscious emotional imprints
• The therapist’s role in holding space when clients experience unexpected shifts
• What it means to facilitate healing without “fixing”
• How unprocessed emotion creates repeating patterns—and how to move through them
• Joseph’s global silent meditation group and spontaneous experience with new energy transmission
• Nature as co-regulator, healer, and guide
• The four spiritual pillars that raise personal vibration: compassion, self-acceptance, forgiveness, and gratitude
• Navigating spiritual awakening without bypassing the pain that can come with it

This conversation is a deep affirmation for therapists, healers, and seekers who feel called to hold space for more than words—for energy, awakening, and the soulful unknown.

In this episode of The Spiritually Curious Therapist, I’m joined once again by the wise and compassionate Ayla Ault for part two of our conversation on supporting neurodivergent clients—particularly those who are late-diagnosed and high-masking.

Together, we explore the healing potential of weaving clinical skill with intuitive, holistic presence. We talk about the deeply personal ways neurodivergent individuals experience the world, through unique communication styles, sensory sensitivities, and inner landscapes that are often overlooked or misunderstood.

We also explore how special interests and affirming communities—like Dungeons & Dragons, BDSM, and spiritual groups can become vital sources of safety, identity, and belonging.

This conversation is a heartfelt invitation to meet neurodivergent clients with attuned curiosity, softness, and deep respect so they can feel truly seen, honored, and supported on their healing journey.
