Episode 162: From Wall Street VP to Psychic Medium: How Grief Changed Everything with Marston FriesThere are moments in life that don’t just change you… they end a version of you completely.In this episode, I sit down with Marston Fries, a former Wall Street VP who walked away from everything she built after a profound personal loss reshaped her entire reality.What started as grief became something much deeper… an awakening, an opening into intuition, mediumship, and a completely new way of understanding consciousness, identity, and purpose.This conversation goes beyond loss.It’s about what happens when the life you thought you wanted no longer fits… and you’re forced to meet a version of yourself you never planned for.If you’ve ever felt like your life is shifting in ways you can’t explain… this one will land.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 Episode Preview 01:40 Life before the awakening and the Wall Street identity07:32 The loss that shattered everything and forced a new path14:28 Why grief is not just loss but an opportunity20:06 The forms of grief people don’t talk about25:21 Staying connected to loved ones beyond death30:40 Fear of the unknown and why people stay stuck34:58 Collective awakening and navigating global change38:12 Boundaries, energy, and protecting your focus42:04 The new paradigm and humanity’s next chapter🔗 Connect with Marston FriesWebsite: www.thebridgingcatalyst.comInstagram: @marstonfriesYouTube: @marstonfriesofficialTikTok: @marstonfriesIf this conversation resonated, share it with someone who’s navigating change, loss, or a deeper awakening.And if you’re ready to understand your own path on a deeper level, you can book an astrology session with me below.

#161 New Moons, Full Moons, and the Missing Piece in Manifestation

There’s a version of manifestation that looks powerful on the surface… setting intentions, visualizing, journaling, doing all the right things.

But if you’re honest, something still feels off.In this episode, Vanessa sits down with Mahek Lakhani, creator of The Moon Journal, to explore what manifestation actually requires beyond mindset.

This conversation moves into the deeper layers, emotional alignment, accountability, timing, and the role lunar cycles play in helping you move with life instead of forcing outcomes.

You’ll hear how new moons and full moons can become a simple but powerful structure for clarity, reflection, and aligned action, and why journaling might be the missing piece that reveals what you’ve been avoiding.

This is for the person who is already doing the work… but is ready to go deeper, cleaner, and more intentional.If you’ve been setting intentions but not seeing the full result, this will land.

Episode 152: IFS and Ayahuasca for Deep Inner Alignment with Blanca Dasi Espuig

There is a version of you that already holds clarity, energy, and purpose, and this conversation guides you back to it through the work happening within.

In this episode of the Power and Purpose Podcast, I sit down with Blanca Dasi Espuig, therapist, healer, and retreat leader, to explore the intersection of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and Ayahuasca. We move beyond surface-level healing and into the deeper layers of how your inner world shapes your leadership, your business, and your ability to fully embody your gifts.

We explore what it means to meet yourself with compassion, how your inner Parts influence your decisions and patterns, and why transformation becomes real when insight turns into embodied change.

Blanca shares her journey from feeling stuck and disconnected to stepping into clarity and alignment, along with how combining therapy and plant medicine opened a powerful path for both her own healing and the work she now facilitates with others.

This episode supports you in deepening your inner work, strengthening your trust in your intuition, and leading your life and business from a place of wholeness.

In this episode, we explore:

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and understanding your inner Parts
• The cosmovision of Ayahuasca and learning through direct experience
• The importance of preparation and integration for lasting transformation
• The shift from insight into embodied change
• The connection between your inner world, leadership, and business growth
• Compassion as a foundation for expansion
• Trusting intuition, synchronicity, and unseen guidance
• A reflection prompt to support your own inner work

Reflection from this episode:

What Part of you is asking for compassion right now, and how can you respond?
