The Intuitive Catalyst

In this episode, Aria Diana, a polyamory expert based in San Francisco, shares her journey through non-monogamous relationships and healing from past traumas. We explore the differences between polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, and more, while also discussing the role of the nervous system and spirituality in these connections. A thought-provoking discussion on the choices we have in creating intentional and fulfilling relationships.

Aria Diana (she/her) is a trauma-informed relationship coach and somatic facilitator, helping individuals practicing non-monogamy deepen self-awareness, overcome insecurities, and enhance communication skills to create more liberated, expansive, and nourishing relationships. She leverages more than a decade of polyamorous and non-normative relationships and her professional training in somatics, communication, and trauma therapy to guide others through the complexities of non-monogamy via signature group coaching programs, 1:1 somatic relationship coaching, and online workshops.

In this solo episode, I reflect on a question that’s been on my heart: what does it mean to be human? I share some of the very human experiences I’ve been navigating—shadow work, ancestral healing, falling in love—and how they’ve brought me deeper into my spiritual journey. I unpack the tension of balancing spiritual growth with everyday life and the ways I’ve learned to sit with discomfort without bypassing it. If you’re in a season of reckoning or re-grounding, I hope this episode meets you where you are.

In this episode, I am joined with Kathleen Pitt, the Quantum Psychic, as we dive deep into a nourishing conversation about self-discovery, intuition, and spiritual growth. Kathleen shares her incredible story of transitioning from a successful career as a nurse practitioner to embracing her psychic gifts and helping soul-led entrepreneurs find their purpose and financial abundance.

Kathleen Pitt, known widely as the Quantum Psychic, is a nurse practitioner by “credentials” who, after achieving everything there was to achieve, was left miserable, depressed, and stuck in a cycle of chaos. After a rough awakening, Kathleen realized her true purpose and potential as a psychic and business coach to help high achieving women access the quantum field for ease and alignment and to catapult them and their business to the limitless success available to them in “The Quantum.” She believes all humans were born with a soul-led mission and purpose and must be well-resourced in their missions and that money in the hands of energetically aligned people will change the world.
