In this episode of "Ignite Your Spark " I had  a heartfelt conversation with Kim Colella. Kim is a true healer and shared her healing powers via massage for decades. She has travelled the world using her healing abilities and now brings them to her clients through coaching and energy work virtually.

In our conversation we explore the transformative power of positive affirmations and the profound impact of replacing negative thoughts with healing narratives, drawing inspiration from the movie "The Help." 

Through Kim Colella's wisdom drawn from her background in pastoral studies and her work as a spirit doula, she urges individuals to embrace their authentic selves and radiate their inner light in a world often clouded by negativity. The episode delves into the importance of sharing positive messages, creating safe spaces for joy, and celebrating the divinity within ourselves and others to ignite a collective spark of empowerment and self-celebration.

Listeners will be transported through Kim Colella's journey, from her miraculous experiences as a spirit doula, where she witnessed the transformative power of joy and healing, to her encounters with luminaries like Mother Teresa. Through anecdotes of finding delight in oneself, embracing diverse spiritual practices, and drawing strength from ancestral connections, we the Kims hope to inspire an exploration of spirituality, self-acceptance, and the celebration of one's unique magnificence.

Prepare to be invigorated as Des, with her rich background in psychology and sociology, passionately shares how she ventured into the realm of dance movement therapy and burlesque to fortify women's spirits. Des's dynamic approach intertwines the somatic and the embodied, charting a course for a uniquely interconnected model of healing. As we both explore the profound power of expressing oneself through the body, I reflect on my affinity for improv and dance and how these tools help unleash inner energy and vibrancy.

We delve deep into the essence of inner work, confronting the intense emotions that define so much of our human experience—guilt, shame, anger, jealousy, grief—and the vital process of unmasking these feelings to foster genuine personal growth. Des illuminates how societal prescriptions can stifle emotional expression and the exploration necessary to tap into the true treasures within. Together, we navigate the concept of self-sabotage, dissecting the self-defeating behaviors that arise from the controlling shackles of "shoulds" and highlighting the transformative possibilities of self-compassion over self-criticism. Des's invigorating conversation is an open invitation to all those seeking to ignite their own spark and find their unique rhythm in life’s dance.
