What if your best chapter hasn’t happened yet? We open the door to a season of grace—those hard-won wisdom years where less becomes more, and meaning outshines momentum. This conversation moves from letting go of regret to embracing simple joys, from choosing boundaries to building soul-level connections that nourish rather than drain.

We get practical with the comfort journal, a private, judgment-free space to anchor gratitude, release worry, and notice the small details that make a day feel sacred. Along the way, we talk about how purpose evolves beyond achievement and into alignment, why saying no can be the kindest yes, and how ordinary moments—moonlit walks, warm meals, real laughter—compose a life that finally fits. We also face the tender topic of legacy and the fear of being forgotten, reframing it as the quiet impact we leave on hearts through stories, presence, and courage shared at the right time.

Expect reflections on authenticity over small talk, mentoring as a way to circulate wisdom, and the invitation to revive a long-shelved dream—write the book, plant the garden, learn to be. You still hold the pen. Choose presence over perfection, savor the page you’re on, and let each day reflect what truly matters. If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review to help more kindred spirits find this space. Then tell us: what will your second act feel like?

 Season two opens with a grounded promise: come as you are, and we’ll meet you with honest storytelling, intuitive wisdom, and practical tools that make healing feel possible on ordinary days. Donna—spiritual intuitive, retired evidential medium, hypnotherapist, and coach—shares the heart behind the show and how her own thresholds of loss, transformation, and reinvention shape a space where you can feel seen without having to perform strength.

We map out what’s new and what stays true. Expect two to three thoughtfully crafted episodes each month, usually twenty to thirty minutes, built with care around real life and chronic health realities. You’ll find a steady blend of soulful reflections and accessible practices, plus guided meditations that match each episode’s theme and help you settle your nervous system. To move insights from your ears to your life, we’re also releasing coordinated journal prompts—available on our Facebook page and by email—so you can explore your story with structure, gentleness, and clarity.

Themes range from relevant issues to resilience to exploring metaphysical threads like angels, spirit guides, after-death communication, sacred space, and the quiet pull of intuitive nudges.  If you’ve been searching for a podcast that honors sensitivity, respects your pace, and still believes in wonder, you’re home.

Whisper-quiet and steady as a tide, this guided meditation invites you to lay down what’s heavy and walk a moonlit path toward clarity. We begin with slow breath and a soothing body scan, easing tension from brow to feet as a silvery glow softens the jaw, melts the shoulders, and settles the heart. Then we step into a vivid autumn clearing under the full Hunter’s Moon—historically a time of preparation and gathering—and meet a small, steady fire waiting for what we’re ready to release.

With a bowl of paper and a pencil in hand, we turn intention into ritual: name what no longer aligns, feed it to the flame, and watch it transform into embers. The smoke drifts upward as we speak gentle affirmations—“I release this with love,” “I trust the cycles of life”—shifting from pressure to permission, from uncertainty to a calm confidence. The Hunter’s Moon becomes more than a symbol in the sky; it becomes a mirror for our own inner light. We receive that light through open palms and feel it fill the chest and belly, warm and electric, a reminder that readiness and wholeness live within.

As the fire fades to pulsing coals, we look at the path ahead washed in soft gold. No need to see the destination—only the next step matters. We anchor this practice with a steady mantra—“The light of the moon lives within me; calm, powerful, eternal”—and return to waking life with ease, grounded by breath and guided by quiet intuition. If you’re navigating change, craving release, or simply looking for deep rest, let this moonlit journey hold you while you renew.

If this guided meditation helped you soften, share it with a friend who needs a gentle reset, subscribe for more soul-calming practices, and leave a review with your favorite line or moment—we’d love to hear what you released.

Take a breath and step into your sanctuary. We all need moments where the world's demands fade away, where expectations and pressures can wait outside the door. This guided meditation offers exactly that—a gentle journey into your own safe haven.

The meditation begins by grounding you physically, inviting your body to release tension you might not even realize you're carrying. Feel your shoulders melt away from your ears as stress rolls off your back "like water sliding down glass." From there, you'll create a personalized mental refuge—perhaps a forest clearing with protective trees, a quiet library corner, or a hidden garden bench where you can watch clouds drift across an open sky.

Within this space, you'll connect with a glowing light representing your inner strength and resilience. This light serves as a powerful reminder that you are more than your challenges. As it spreads through your body, you'll absorb empowering truths: you are enough exactly as you are, you don't need to prove yourself to anyone, and you're never truly alone. The meditation provides an emotional anchor you can return to whenever life feels overwhelming.

Whether you're dealing with school pressure, work stress, family expectations, or social anxiety, this practice offers a reset button—not to escape your responsibilities, but to approach them from a place of centeredness and self-compassion. Remember, "You are never too much and you are always, always enough." Take these eight minutes for yourself, and discover how carrying this calm with you can transform your approach to life's challenges.

Take a journey to a serene forest lake where the burdens of daily life dissolve into calm waters. This meditation creates a sacred space for you to release stress, anxiety, and the pressure to be "enough" through a powerful visualization technique.

The practice begins with gentle breathing and a progressive relaxation that flows like a wave through your body. As tension melts away, you're guided along a path into a lush forest where sunlight filters through leaves, creating golden patterns on the ground. Here, you'll practice grounding—connecting deeply with the earth beneath you and feeling supported in the most nurturing way.

At the heart of this meditation is a symbolic ritual using a stone by a pristine lake. This powerful externalization technique allows you to transfer your worries, self-doubt, and overwhelming thoughts into something tangible before releasing it completely. As the stone disappears beneath the water's surface, you experience a profound sense of lightness and freedom.

What makes this practice uniquely transformative is its emphasis on personal agency. You'll reconnect with the truth that you alone are the writer of your story and the creator of your life. This meditation reminds you that in every moment, you have the power to choose kindness, strength, and yourself.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by school, work, relationships, or simply the pressure to meet expectations, this practice offers both immediate relief and a technique you can return to whenever life feels challenging. Remember, you are never too much and always enough. And on difficult days, you are not alone—help is always available when you need it.

Escape into a world of tranquility with this gentle guided forest meditation, designed to help you release the burdens of everyday life and reconnect with your inner strength. 

The journey begins with a full-body relaxation sequence, inviting tension to melt away as you prepare to step onto a forest path where "the stress, the noise, the peer pressure, the pressure to keep up" remain outside. As you venture deeper into this peaceful sanctuary, you'll discover a calm lake that offers a powerful opportunity for emotional release. Here, you're invited to place your worries, fears, and stresses into a basket and watch as they float away across the water, leaving you lighter and more peaceful with each letting go.

Beyond the lake lies a hidden garden bursting with color and calming scents – your own secret place of safety and renewal. Sitting on a stone bench, you'll experience a gentle light surrounding you, representing strength, confidence, peace and gratitude. This nurturing visualization reinforces the empowering affirmation that during challenging times, you're never alone and can always reach out for support.

What makes this meditation unique is the carefully crafted combination of visualization, affirmation, and mindful awareness that creates both immediate calm and lasting emotional resilience. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, or simply need a moment of peace, this forest sanctuary is always waiting for you.

Take just a few minutes to escape to this beautiful place whenever you need to remember the truth at the heart of this practice: "You are never too much and you are always, always enough."

Closing out Season One of Healing Our Kindred Spirits, I reflect on my journey from uncertainty to clarity about the podcast's direction. Through nearly 20 episodes, I've discovered that creating meaningful connections happens when I lead with my heart and honor the power of storytelling.

• Embracing the identity of a "storytelling podcaster" after initially resisting labels
• Creating a safe space where sensitivity is valued, especially for empaths and deep feelers
• Season Two will launch in late September with deeper conversations about angels, spirit guides, intuition, and energy work
• Developing a new website with resources to complement each episode including journal prompts and guided meditations
• Creating a Substack account by year-end for blogs and newsletters as another way to connect
• Future plans include live call-in episodes, virtual events, and expanding our YouTube presence
• Committing to consistent weekly episodes while honoring the challenges of chronic pain

Reach out at [email protected] or join our Facebook group "Healing Our Kindred Spirits Podcast" with your ideas or if you'd like to be a guest. Until Season Two, remember you are never walking this path alone.

Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt heaviness in the air, or found yourself inexplicably anxious in certain spaces? For empaths and sensitive souls who naturally absorb the energy around them, creating a sanctuary that supports rather than drains your energy isn't just nice—it's necessary.

Sacred space isn't defined by how it looks, but by how it feels. It's that place where your shoulders drop, where the noise of the world softens, and you can simply be. Whether it's a cozy chair catching afternoon light, a small altar on your nightstand, or even just a moment of intentional stillness, what matters is that it reflects your truest self—the part beneath all the titles and to-do lists that doesn't have to explain or perform.

This episode explores four empowering aspects of sacred space: what it really is and how to create it, why it matters more now than ever before, the healing benefits of having your own sanctuary, and practical steps to create a space that feels uniquely yours. We delve into how our nervous systems respond to our environments, why certain scents and objects can shift our emotional state, and how even the smallest intentional corner can become medicine for the soul.

For those navigating chronic pain, emotional exhaustion, or just the weight of daily life, your sacred space becomes an anchor in the storm—a place where you can reconnect with your breath, spirit, and healing. It's where you get to decide what stays and what goes, physically and energetically. That's not just spiritual insight; it's sovereignty.

Whether you're creating your first sacred space or evolving one you've had for years, remember this isn't about trends or perfection. It's about presence and intention. Your sacred space should feel like an exhale, a remembering, a return. Let it speak for you, to you, and with you—becoming not just a sanctuary for your body, but for your soul.
