Adriana Mateescu is the founder of Awakening Souls Counsel and creator of the ADRI Method™, a framework for guiding people through identity shifts after a soul awakening — a deep spiritual experience or inner change.

A recovering lawyer, Adriana experienced a significant personal awakening, which led to her leaving the legal profession and to a life-changing journey of self discovery. This transition reshaped how Adriana understands purpose, identity, mission and vision in life, and forms the foundation of the work she does with her clients today.

Adriana is certified in both SoulLife® Psychology, where she trained in spiritual regression and numerology, and in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), focused on how patterns shape identity and how they can be changed. Adriana’s sessions also include Akashic Records, Reiki, Medical Intuition, Tarot and Oracle Cards readings.

Through the ADRI Method™ — Awakening, Decoding, Reconstructing, and Integrating — Adriana helps Awakening Souls explore what has been revealed through their awakenings, make sense of what it means, understand who they have become, and how to move forward in life with greater clarity and direction.

We explore what it means to outgrow an old identity and why fear often spikes right before growth. We talk through intuition, courage, and purpose so we can take action while we are still in the messy middle.

• what an identity shift looks like internally and why it can arrive in waves
• how fear protects us and how it also keeps us stuck in the familiar
• how to tell the difference between intuition and fear when making changes
• the fear of being seen, heard, and judged when stepping into something new
• how spirituality and religion can overlap without needing rigid boxes
• the Aidri Method stages: Awakening, Decoding, Reconstructing, Integrating
• courage as action and a heart-level tipping point, plus vulnerability as a doorway
• purpose as the why and identity as the who and how, and how they shape each other
• why “awakening” is misunderstood and how to recognise it as a process
• a grounded tool for fear: the two-minute rule and asking if the threat is real
I do have space right now for one-on-one support where we gently work through those layers, helping you reconnect with yourself, build self-trust, and take aligned action in your next chapter.

Gia-Raquel Rose, owner of Airs Above Yoga, LLC and a real estate sales associate in Tewksbury, New Jersey has had a love for horses stemming from early childhood. Growing up in “horse country” afforded her the privilege of beginning to ride from the tender age of four. It was a childhood illness, which brought her riding aspirations to an abrupt halt. It took twenty years before she was able to reunite with her long lost passion for horses and their ability to heal. In that time, she received a Bachelor of Arts in Corporate Communication from Arcadia University and became a twice two hundred hour certified yoga instructor in both Hatha and Vinyasa. It was the loss of her mother, Rose, to breast cancer, which ultimately shifted her trajectory from the corporate world to the internal work for which yoga, as a practice, is renowned.

Mother’s Day brings up grief, fear, and a very personal link to cancer, so I talk about yoga asana in a way that honours what hurts. I explore why stillness, surrender, and listening to the body can be a form of courage when life feels out of control.

• Mother’s Day as a triggering day and a doorway into grief
• Cancer as an unwelcome invader and the limits of “fight” language
• Fear of mortality and the unknown as a daily human theme
• Stillness as my answer for meeting fear and grief
• Mountain Pose (Tadasana) as facing reality with roots
• Key alignment cues for a stable, supported Tadasana
• Forward folds and Child’s Pose as surrender and release
• Reframing fear as something to embrace without giving up
• Hero Pose (Virasana) as grounded, quiet strength with props
• Heart openers like Camel and Wheel as an arc toward joy
• Nurturing yourself first and listening before the body “screams”

I guide a live style meditation built around one goal: creating a safe inner home you can return to when fear, anxiety or uncertainty kicks up. We use breath, grounding and a vivid doorway visualization to strengthen self trust and leave the session feeling lighter and more anchored.

• the month’s theme of working with fears and the fear of the unknown
• why a strong sense of self becomes a “port in the storm”
• how to create an inner refuge without escaping reality
• practical meditation setup options for comfort and safety
• grounding basics to support nervous system regulation
• a guided visualisation of a door and a protected inner home
• leaving doubt and shame outside the threshold
• gratitude practice and “committing to memory” the feeling of peace
• closing the meditation and returning to the body with grounding
• aftercare tips like water and a small snack

I share why the macrobiotic diet is a major trigger for me, rooted in my mother’s breast cancer journey and the way food can become tangled with fear and hope.

• the difference between macrobiotic and vegan eating, including limited animal protein and strict rules
• how family culture and eating out can make any diet feel isolating
• women’s changing nutrition needs across puberty, perimenopause, and menopause

• potential downsides, including deficiencies, weight loss risk, and the cost of eating this way
• warm cooked foods, gentle digestion, and parallels with Ayurveda

Lisa Andria is an Emotional Transformation Coach, founder of Ladies Who Leap Coaching and podcast host of the popular Ladies Who Leap podcast.  She helps women over 40 build —for the first time — the identity they never embraced.

Using The Identity Bloom Method— a four-stage identity construction system — Lisa produces a transformation so complete that clients’ lives restructure around who they’ve become. 

A signature part of her program goes into the unconscious mind to a level where the Identity Void actually lives and clears old programming, constructs the client's genuine self and then, through their new reality, grounds this leap on a permanent basis so they can move ahead confidently.

• unconscious mind as the driver behind triggers, reactions, and habits
• releasing stored events and reframing beliefs to change behaviour
• Identity Bloom Method stages and why awareness comes first
• self-love as the common root issue and why it must be felt
• fear versus anxiety and how both can guide smarter action
• identity voids like shapeshifter, people pleaser, mirror gazer, high achiever
• learning to enjoy being alone through acceptance and reduced judgment
• courage as pushing the comfort-zone boundary step by step
• why support matters and how coaching accelerates change
