It's Karmic | Astrology, Past Lives, and Soul Healing

If you’ve ever felt frustrated with your health, like nothing quite explains your symptoms, this week’s episode of It’s Karmic is going to open a completely new door.

I invited Dr. Divya back onto the podcast, whose work bridges ancient wisdom with medical clarity through the lens of astrology, human design, and more. Together, we explore how your chart reveals the deeper emotional, karmic, and ancestral roots of illness, especially when it comes to the energetic shifts happening in 2026.

In this episode, we explore medical astrology for 2026 through the lens of the Leo–Aquarius nodal shift, and what it means for your health, nervous system, and karmic patterns.

We dive into:

• How the Leo–Aquarius nodes in 2026 activate new health cycles in the body
• Why your symptoms aren’t random, and how astrology reveals their deeper meaning
• The connection between the nervous system, and chronic health patterns
• What the 1st, 6th, 8th, and 12th houses tell you about health insights
• The role of karma, past life imprints, and ancestral patterns in illness
• How Aquarius energy rewires the nervous system while Leo restores vitality and life-force
• The link between trauma responses, stress, and physical symptoms
• Why Western medicine often misses the root, and how medical astrology fills the gap
• Practical ways to support your body during the 2026 nodal shift
• How to work with the energy of 2026 instead of feeling overwhelmed by it

A loving reminder, neither myself or Dr. Divya are practicing medical professionals. This is not health advice.

How to work with Vika Bradford:

In this powerful conversation, I welcome back Mystic Bru, aka Bruna Nessif for a deep exploration of the unseen forces shaping our world and our inner lives.

What if the spiritual war everyone senses right now has already been fought and won… and what we’re witnessing is simply the physical world catching up?

Together, Bruna and I dive into the idea that many people have spent the past several years in a profound underworld journey individually, while processing what has been happening collectively. Facing their shadows, breaking ancestral patterns, and confronting unseen energetic dynamics that influence both our personal lives and the collective.

From the concept of egregores and energetic entities, to the collapse of inherited belief systems, this episode explores how personal shadow work mirrors the larger transformations unfolding across society. We also discuss the dangers of spiritual ego, the saviour complex, and the pendulum swings that often happen when people awaken to deeper truths.

This conversation is a reminder that the chaos we’re witnessing may not be the end of the world, but the end of a world that can no longer sustain itself.

If you’ve felt like you’ve been fighting battles in the unseen, navigating intense personal transformation, or questioning the systems you were taught to trust… This episode will resonate deeply.

This Episode Is For You If…

• Feel like you’ve been going through intense personal transformation over the last few years

• Sense that something bigger is shifting collectively, but you can’t quite explain it

• Have felt like you’ve been doing deep shadow work or “spiritual battle” work behind the scenes

• Are questioning the systems, structures, and beliefs you were taught to trust

• Want to understand how personal healing connects to collective change

• Feel called to break cycles in your family, lineage, or karmic patterns

• Are learning how to stay grounded and sovereign in a world that often feels chaotic

• Are ready to explore spirituality beyond the “love and light only” narrative

This week on the It’s Karmic Podcast I connect with Alexandria Kenyon and Kristy Cerullo for a conversation about psychic embodiment, soul-aligned work, and what happens when the body says “no” to misalignment in your lifeTogether, we explore the creation of their psychic school, the cost of pushing through masculine-led systems, the psychic origins of burnout and illness, and why trauma-informed, female-centred leadership is key. This conversation is about reclaiming intuition, honouring the body, and remembering that ease is earned through deep shadow work.

Key Themes We Explore

→Stepping into your purpose through alignment, not force

→ Leaving misaligned systems without demonizing the lesson

→ Psychic training as embodiment instead of performance

→ Trauma-informed, female-body-centred teaching models

→ The danger of pushing through late luteal / nervous system overrides

→ Burnout, chronic illness, and the psychic origins of dis-ease

→ Taking on other people’s energy without knowing you’re sensitive

→ Misalignment vs. carrying energy that isn’t yours

→Reclaiming intuition after years of dissociation

→Why so many highly sensitive people don’t realize they’re psychic (especially women)

→Returning to soul work after burning things down→Liberation as a leadership responsibility

This episode is for you if you're:

→ Highly sensitive people who feel burned out but don’t know why

→ Women who’ve been taught to override their bodies to succeed

→ Healers, psychics, coaches, and space holders feeling exhausted

→ Anyone questioning whether their illness or burnout has a deeper origin

→ People ready to lead without abandoning themselves

Alexandria Kenyon and Kristy Cerullo are master clairvoyants and the founders of Psychic School. Known for their precise, amusing approach to intuition, they teach psychic development as a learnable skill—rooted in energetic hygiene, nervous system regulation, and self-trust. Psychic School exists to train the next generation of grounded, ethical, and powerful intuitives.

In this episode of the It’s Karmic Podcast I dive into the major turning points we, as a collective, are entering as we step through the threshold in 2026. Everything we have moved through since 2020 (and beyond) has led us to this turning point. 

I dig into the final changes of the outer planets including Saturn, Uranus, Neptune as well as the Nodes of Fate and Jupiter. This year promises to be the first of the next phase collectively and personally. By understanding where you’re being asked to transition in your life, what is being demanded to be let go of, and your capacity to hold the shadow, you will be able to meet these growing pains with more ease. That is my ultimate goal with this episode. 

Major themes explored in the podcast: 

• The Saturn Neptune Conjunction in Aries and how we are entering a zero point new world while simultaneously meeting the crisis point of this time period.

• Uranus entering Gemini and the horizon of technological changes and advancements.

• The Nodes of Fate shifting into Aquarius and Leo and the shifting collective focus into collectivism and individualism 

• Jupiter shifting into Leo and the inevitable power play that will come from this interaction opposing Pluto

• How we move through times of collapse and crisis while understanding we are in the birthing canal 

• How we come back home to self in this moments of collective panic

This final episode for the year explores how 2025 exposed what we thought our values were vs what they actually are, the rebirth and importance of community, the cost of constant consumption, and why 2026 is asking us to live slower, more embodied, and more relational lives.

You’ve likely felt it… but 2026 asks something completely different of us from what we’ve been living. From the way we use media, to how we exist in the world.

What you'll discover in this episode:

• Why 2025 cracked us open and changed what truly matters
• Grieving old versions of yourself instead of carrying them forward
• Why community, presence, and real connection are non-negotiable now
• Why 2026 isn’t about doing more, but about living differently

This episode is for you if:

• If this year humbled you

• If your body forced you to listen

• If your identity cracked

• If you’re tired of scrolling your life awayIf you’re craving depth, slowness, and real connection and If you know something is ending, but the new hasn’t fully landed yet

In this episode of It’s Karmic, I sit down with Jenn Grenier, ex therapist turned Human Design Coach, to explore the intersections of Human Design, astrology, past lives, and the nervous system. Jenn shares her journey from art therapy and psychology into Human Design and how that radically changed the way she was helping and supporting people. Jenn discovered the power of deconditioning, aka, letting go of what isn’t truly ours so we can embody our authentic energy. 

In this episode we dive deep into:

• The role of Mars in both astrology and Human Design, and how it reveals shadows, conflict, and our capacity for courageous action.

• What deconditioning really means and how it supports living in alignment.

• Nervous system regulation through the Human Design lens, especially with the solar plexus and emotional authority.

• The upcoming paradigm shift around 2027 and what it means for collective and individual empowerment.

There comes a point on the healing journey when you’ve done everything “right”. You’ve changed your diet, cleared your energy, done the affirmations, taken all the supplements, meditated, journaled, maybe even begged the universe for relief and still… the pain lingers.

Maybe it's chronic illness. Maybe it’s burnout. Maybe it’s migraines, autoimmune flare-ups, gut issues, or that gnawing fatigue that never seems to go away no matter how much you rest.

If that sounds familiar, this episode of It’s Karmic is for you.

What if your chronic pain, your migraines, your burnout… were never random?

What if they were your soul, screaming for your attention?

This week on It’s Karmic, I had a deeply powerful conversation with Dr. Alana, a naturopathic doctor, hypnotherapist, and plant medicine guide who’s helping people heal the real root of their suffering by returning to the body, not bypassing it.

We went deep into:

• How pain is often stored, emotional energy. It’s unfelt, unseen, and unprocessed.

• Why chronic illness, migraines, and burnout are actually invitations into deeper presence.

• The nervous system’s sacred role in healing and why quick fixes rarely last.

• How hypnotherapy gently bypasses the overthinking mind to reach the parts that need love the most.

• What it really takes to integrate healing (and why spiritual work without integration is just another illusion).

Dr. Alana’s story of hitting rock bottom, even as a practitioner doing “all the right things”, is so damn relatable. And her gentle, powerful wisdom will crack your heart wide open.

This episode is for you if...

• You’ve done all the right things. The supplements, protocols, and mindset work but the pain or dis-ease still lingers.

• You’ve been burned out, stuck in survival mode, or living in a constant state of “pushing through.”

• You’ve felt betrayed by your body, and you’re craving a deeper, more soul-honouring path to healing.

• You suspect your symptoms might be carrying emotional or energetic messages but you don’t know how to decode them.

• You’re curious about how hypnosis and nervous system healing can support chronic pain, illness, or anxiety.
  

You’re tired of trying to fix yourself and ready to finally come home to your body.

In this episode, Raechelle Embrey and I pulling back the curtain on Timelines of Destiny, the 4-week experience we’ve created to help you navigate the major outer planet transits shaping your soul path for 2025 and beyond.

Together, we explore why 2025 is more than “a big astrology year.”
There's no going back. It’s a karmic portal. A cosmic reckoning. A full-body recalibration.

We talk about what happens when you stop resisting these changes and start working with the energy of your chart. And why so many of us are feeling the emotional weight, identity unraveling, and spiritual disorientation of this moment.

This isn’t about prediction. It’s about alignment, choice, and evolution.

If you’ve been feeling the stretch, the friction, or the quiet knowing that you’re being asked to lead from a deeper place, this conversation is for you.

What if the parts of you that feel broken… were actually the keys to your wholeness?

This week on the It’s Karmic podcast, I sat down with my dear soul sister, psychotherapist and underworld guide Rachael Spyker, for a conversation that dives right into the 8th house terrain.

Rachael Spyker is a psychotherapist, depth guide, and medicine woman who walks people into the underworld and back again, holding space for the parts they’ve had to abandon just to survive. In this episode, she shares her powerful story of growing up inside a religious cult, the trauma that fractured her sense of self, and how she reclaimed her identity, her power, and her truth through somatic healing, nervous system work, and deep emotional presence.

We talk about how trauma gets stored in the body and how so many of us have been taught to suppress, override, and shame our emotional experiences when in truth, those very emotions are the gateway to relief, reclamation, and wholeness.

Rachael speaks to the parts of us we shame, asking the questions no one else is asking:

• What if your binging, your disassociation, your Netflix spirals are actually forms of medicine?

• What if healing isn’t about fixing yourself, but remembering who you were before you had to leave?

• What if you could stop performing, stop trying to “do healing right,” and start simply being with what is?

  
  

In this episode we discuss: 

• Why shaking, binging, and even Netflix are sometimes actually medicine.

• How trauma lives in the body and how to release it.

• The difference between healing and relief.

• The truth about spiritual bypassing and why you have to feel it to heal it.

• What happens when we meet our deepest pain with real, loving presence (hint: it’s magic).
  

This isn’t just a conversation…
