Detailed Episode SummaryThis episode dives deep into the transformational power of Sedona, Arizona, and the remarkable spiritual path of Debra Stangl, founder of Sedona Soul Adventures. Andy Walker opens by sharing how his own week-long retreat with Debra’s organization cracked him open creatively, emotionally, and intuitively—ultimately inspiring the WooBiz podcast. Debra recounts her origin story: once a burned-out divorce attorney trapped in an unhappy life, she experienced a profound spiritual vision in Sedona that urged her to leave her law practice or risk dying as her mother had.
What followed was a multiyear healing journey involving more than 30 modalities—from breathwork to EMDR to somatic release—culminating in the creation of Sedona Soul Adventures, now home to more than 50 master practitioners. Debra explains how Sedona’s vortex energy accelerates transformation, why intuition is a skill anyone can develop, and how her own psychic channeling evolved over decades of inner work.
She and Andy explore the Sedona Proven Process, which clears “gunk”—core wounds, limiting beliefs, patterns, fears—and reconnects people with their highest selves. She describes the individualized structure of her retreats and the importance of post-retreat Phase Two support.
Debra then guides Andy through a live Sedona Formula session, a condensed version of a powerful two-hour modality combining breathwork, tapping, intuitive inquiry, EMDR-inspired movement, visualization, and somatic tracking. In minutes, Andy shifts from frustration and helplessness to clarity, confidence, and excitement about a stalled business project.
In the WooBiz+ extended segment, Debra reveals insider tips for experiencing Sedona’s energy, common misconceptions visitors have, and the key principle behind energetic healing: transforming, not rejecting, emotional energy. She also discusses why prolonged exposure to Sedona’s intensity requires occasional breaks, even for longtime residents.
The episode closes with information about her retreats, upcoming book High Vibe Relationship (co-authored with her husband Richard Keppel), and a free gift for listeners: the ebook edition of her bestseller The Journey to Happy.
