Tue, 31 Mar 2026 03:30:00 -0600

In part one of this episode, I interview Laine about her journey as Madi’s communication partner.

#53 When Others Love Your Child

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 03:30:00 -0600

I ask first-time clients to send a picture of their child, but I learned not to open it until right before the session because the child’s energy would wake me early in the morning.

I’ve been creating a client book with a Word doc for each client, including their name, photo, and notes from our Spirit to Spirit sessions,

and it’s been joyful to revisit and summarize our conversations.

Reopening each photo fills me with love and connection, and it reminds me of how meaningful it is when others love your kids.

Like when my son Devon’s Cub Scout leader warmly accepted his sensory quirks.

Through these sessions with nonspeakers, I feel privileged to connect deeply, share insights with parents, and help increase their love and understanding—one mom said she used to see her son in black and white, but now she sees all his colors.

Learn more about Spirit to Spirit Sessions here.

#52 Healing Trauma Through Energy Work

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 03:30:00 -0600

Today I talk about trauma and how it can affect both parents and children,

and why birth trauma led me into energy work after my oldest son's anger noticeably decreased following a demonstration that cleared energy around our traumatic pregnancy and emergency C-section/NICU experience.

I explain my personal distinction between “big T” and “little T” trauma, emphasizing that some trauma isn’t recognized as such until later.

I describe how trauma often shows up as an incomplete freeze (or fight/flight) cycle and use a “hula hoop” image to illustrate how triggers can reactivate stuck trauma energy,

then share how I energetically complete the cycle, clear triggers, and gently shift beliefs.

Using examples (a child bitten by a puppy and my youngest Bryson’s beach/boat trauma), I explain that this work clears energy without retelling or reliving the event.

#51 Moving the Blocks That Keep You Stuck

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 03:30:00 -0600

Today I share a small but powerful lesson:

I kept clicking the wrong button while working on my newsletter, and I got frustrated

—until I realized my water bottle was blocking the correct button on my screen.

Once I moved it, everything was easy.

I use this as a reminder that answers can be right in front of me, but I might not see them because something is in the way

—like feeling ungrounded, taking on other people’s emotions, holding unprocessed feelings, feeling stuck in grief, or having blocked or unbalanced energy.

I also talk about how fear and beliefs can block clarity,

and I guide you through a simple breathing exercise to help notice what’s in the way, get grounded and shielded, and “move” what you can so your next step feels clearer.
