In this solo episode, therapist and host, Malisa Hepner explores how to actually embody the energy you're reaching for through daily rituals, nervous system work, and shadow work.

She shares a grounded approach to moving out of overthinking and into real-life integration, along with a simple daily practice to help you feel safe being seen, receiving, and expanding. This episode also includes personal reflections on grief, presence, and self-compassion.

One simple place to begin: pause once a day, notice what's happening in your body, soften even slightly, and gently ask yourself what it would feel like to safely hold even a small part of the version of you you're becoming.

Archetypes/Rituals: Tarot, Other

In this expansive and grounding conversation, therapist and host, Malisa Hepner, sits down with Lucy Baldwin to explore the deeper layers of astrology, shadow work, and spiritual ritual—not as trends, but as tools for real inner transformation. Together, they unpack how planetary archetypes can mirror our subconscious patterns, offering language for parts of ourselves we've struggled to understand or accept.

Lucy shares how intentional rituals can gently reprogram the mind, creating new pathways rooted in safety rather than fear. The conversation moves beyond surface-level spirituality, emphasizing the importance of self-trust, nervous system regulation, and the courage to sit with the parts of ourselves we often avoid. This episode invites you to move from seeking external answers to cultivating a grounded, internal sense of knowing.

Choose one simple, repeatable ritual this week—something small enough to feel safe (like lighting a candle while journaling or placing your hand on your heart each morning). As you practice, focus less on "doing it right" and more on what it feels like to stay present with yourself. Let the ritual become a place where trust is built, not forced.

Therapist and host, Malisa Hepner, welcomes Laura Bratton back for a deeply honest conversation about the intersection of spirituality and emotional healing. Together, they unpack the ways spirituality can either support true healing or quietly become a way to avoid it.

This episode offers a refreshing perspective on how to stay rooted in your humanity while still honoring your spiritual path.

Healing isn't about rising above your emotions—it's about learning to stay with yourself inside them. True spirituality supports connection, not avoidance.
