In this illuminating episode of The Weekly Transit, Scott Tejerian welcomes Krista Rauschenberg, an Akashic Records reader, breathwork facilitator, and podcast host whose journey weaves through international travel, diverse careers, and spiritual awakening.

From her early years marked by neglect and abuse to finding her calling through postpartum doula work, Krista shares how her path eventually led her to the Akashic Records – an energetic realm she describes as "higher than the psychic realm, and highly pristine." Now dedicated to helping others access their soul's wisdom, Krista explains how she combines record readings with breathwork to create transformative healing experiences.

Scott and Krista explore her wanderlust years in Japan, her diverse career path through the entertainment industry, and how physical symptoms ultimately guided her toward healing work. Krista also discusses her podcast, Beginner's Guide to the Third Eye, which aims to "demystify the mystical" by introducing listeners to various spiritual modalities.
