Send us a text

In this powerful episode of the Spiritual Spotlight Series, Rachel Garrett sits down with Stephanie James — psychotherapist, filmmaker, author, and transformational guide — for a deeply honest conversation about healing, personal responsibility, and reclaiming your authentic power.

Stephanie shares her personal journey from a seemingly “perfect” childhood to profound loss, emotional rupture, and ultimately, deep inner transformation. Together, Rachel and Stephanie explore why true healing doesn’t come from bypassing pain — but from meeting it with presence, compassion, and courage.

This episode dives into:

• The dangers of spiritual bypassing and why positivity alone doesn’t heal trauma
• How dreams act as a direct line to the subconscious and soul wisdom
• Reclaiming personal power through inner work, self-care, and emotional responsibility
• Healing trauma without abandoning yourself
• Why authenticity is the gateway to fulfillment, purpose, and aligned relationships
• How your healing ripples outward and impacts the collective

Stephanie brings grounded psychological insight together with spiritual depth, reminding us that healing isn’t about fixing yourself — it’s about remembering who you are beneath the conditioning.

If you’re on a spiritual path and craving real integration, emotional truth, and embodied healing (not spiritual fluff), this conversation will meet you right where you are — and gently call you forward.

✨ Tune in and let this episode support you in reclaiming your inner authority, honoring your truth, and allowing your healing to become a light for others.
