What if your deepest pain held the keys to your greatest healing? What if you’re not broken—but simply remembering who you really are?

This week on Interviews with Innocence, I sit down with Martina Drassl, a somatic trauma therapist and plant medicine facilitator whose path has taken her from the depths of suffering to the heart of sacred healing.

In this raw and illuminating conversation, Martina shares: 🌿 Her journey with master plants and traditional healing in the Amazon 💔 How trauma disconnects us—and how to come back to the body 🌀 Why true healing is not about “fixing” but reconnecting to wholeness 🧘‍♀️ The role of somatic wisdom and nervous system regulation 🌺 The surprising ways children mirror the truths we forget as adults

Martina’s work is grounded, heart-centered, and infused with reverence for the Earth and for the healing journey. Her wisdom invites us to step off the path of performance and perfection—and instead move toward presence, embodiment, and truth.

If you’ve ever felt like something inside you needed tending, this episode is for you.

What happens when we really slow down—enough to feel, to listen, and to connect soul-to-soul?

This week on Interviews with Innocence, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Nicola Amadora—a psychologist, spiritual teacher, trauma and equine therapist, author, and speaker whose work is changing lives around the world.

From a young girl seeking refuge in a horse stable, to a global teacher helping people return to their hearts, Nicola’s journey is profound, inspiring, and deeply human.

In this episode, we explore: 🐎 How horses help us heal trauma, reconnect with our intuition, and return to presence 💫 How “soul gazing” can transform relationships—especially between parents and children 🌿 Practical tools for families to bring mindfulness and sacred connection into daily life 🧘‍♀️ Stories of transformation and trust that will stay with you long after the episode ends 💗 Why presence—not perfection—is the most powerful healing we can offer

What does it mean to truly know Spirit? To believe in something greater—and to prove it?

This week, I sit down with evidential medium and intuitive coach Ann, whose life has been anything but ordinary. From her earliest years, she experienced visits from Spirit and had an innate knowing about people and animals—but it took years to understand her gifts. And even more courage to honor them.

After a successful corporate career, Ann followed her calling into the world of mediumship and healing. Her journey led her across the globe—from rigorous testing protocols to the Arthur Findlay College in England, where she finally found her spiritual home.

In this conversation, we talk about: 🌌 Her mantra: “Believe. Know. Grow.” 🌀 How mediumship circles work—and how they change lives 👶 Her work with Helping Parents Heal 🔮 Why she believes Spirit has tangible proof for those who are ready to see it 💫 What children and future generations can gain from a deeper connection to the Divine

Ann reminds us: “Always expect the unexpected.” And this episode delivers exactly that.
