What if fear isn’t something to heal… but something to understand?

In this episode of The Brilliance Method, I’m joined by Joanna Lindenbaum, founder of the Applied Depth Institute, for a powerful conversation on fear, visibility, self-trust, and the hidden ways we keep ourselves small.

We talk about why being seen can feel unsafe, how fear disguises itself as resistance, and why true transformation comes from learning to work with fear—not against it.

Joanna shares her deeply personal story of Bell’s Palsy, the spiritual lesson behind it, and how her body forced her into alignment with her real calling.

We also explore ethical coaching, power dynamics, nervous system wisdom, rest, grief, and why remembering who you are is often the real healing.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you know you’re meant for more but can’t quite move—this episode will meet you there.

Most people think burnout means they need more discipline, more hustle, and more pushing, but what if burnout is not laziness at all? In this episode of The Brilliance Method, I’m joined by Lindsey Christian, Feminine Wellness Coach, creator of the Burnout Patterns Framework, and host of the She’s Sacral podcast. Lindsey supports and empowers women to reconnect with their bodies and energy so they can create a powerful, aligned life. Together, we unpack the 4 hidden survival patterns keeping women stuck in exhaustion: Freeze, Fight, Flight, and Fawn.

We talk about nervous system healing, sacred pleasure, receiving, and how childhood wounds can shape the way we move through life and business. From people-pleasing to hyper-independence, Lindsey shares how learning to receive, feel safe, and soothe old survival patterns is the real path back to peace, trust, and self-worth. If you’ve been feeling exhausted, disconnected, or like you cannot get out of your own way, this conversation will help you understand why and how to finally come back to yourself.

You’re more intuitive than you think. The real question is, why aren’t you trusting it?

In this episode of The Brilliance Method, I sit down with attorney-turned-astrologer Kathy Biehl to explore how to recognize your inner guidance and follow it.

She is a professional astrologer and Tarot advisor whose work draws on her diverse life experience as an attorney, small business owner, performing artist, and writer.

As we move into 2026, the remembering of our soul is getting louder. The world feels more intense, more uncertain, and yes, a little crazier. That is exactly why inner peace, clarity, and purpose matter now more than ever.

In this powerful conversation, Elysia Skye sits down with astrologer, mystic, agora, and Asterian astrology teacher Jade S. Luna to explore what is actually happening beneath the surface and why so many people feel called to change, soften, tell the truth, and come home to themselves.

This episode goes beyond surface-level astrology predictions. It speaks to the emotional, spiritual, and collective shifts unfolding as we approach 2026, and why sensitivity, longing, shadow, and kindness are not weaknesses but signals of awakening.

If you have been feeling:

this conversation will help you understand why.

You will gain insight into how upcoming astrological cycles influence creativity, identity, purpose, collective consciousness, and global themes, including energy, politics, and climate. Jade shares how to navigate these changes with clarity rather than fear.

Whether you are deeply spiritual or simply curious about why the world feels different, this episode meets you where you are. If you have ever wondered what a true spiritual path might actually look or feel like, Jade also shares rarely told stories from his life in India, including the death of his ego and what devotion really asks of us.

Jade S. Luna offers a grounded, poetic approach to astrology, devotion, and self-remembrance, and how to move through the coming years with integrity, compassion, and trust in yourself.

Let's have an honest, unfiltered conversation about clarity, purpose, grief, and trust after a challenging year.

Rather than labeling 2025 as “bad,” Elysia walks you through how to reflect on difficult seasons with wisdom, presence, and self-compassion. She shares personal experiences around health challenges, grief, surrender, and healing, including what it means to live on purpose when life feels heavy and uncertain.

You’ll hear why mindfulness helps us remember our lives more fully, how purpose is directly connected to vitality and well-being, and why suppressing what you’re here to do can show up in the body, emotionally and physically. Elysia also explains how clarity returns when you stop chasing outcomes and start creating from the heart.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, reframe your past year with honesty, reconnect with what truly matters, and step into the version of your life that feels aligned, peaceful, and meaningful.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, tired, or unsure of what’s next, this conversation will help you recalibrate and remember who you are and why you’re here.
