In this episode of The Karuna Life Podcast, Gina Kitzmiller sits down with Donna Bishop for a deeply honest and compassionate conversation about addiction, shame, thought patterns, and the possibility of lasting change. Donna shares her personal story of living as a functioning addict, the profound turning point that led her into treatment 12 years ago, and the life-changing insight that helped her see she was not broken — she was believing thoughts that were never meant to define her.

Together, Gina and Donna explore why addiction often serves a purpose, why one-size-fits-all recovery models do not work for everyone, and how kindness, self-trust, and a new understanding of thought can open the door to real freedom. They also talk about family dynamics, shame, coping behaviors, relapse, and what it means to move beyond survival into a life that feels clear, grounded, and truly your own.

This episode is for anyone navigating addiction, loving someone who is, or trying to understand the deeper emotional and mental patterns that keep us stuck. It is also a powerful reminder that change is possible, that healing is not always linear, and that there may be more paths to freedom than we have been taught to believe.

In this episode of The Karuna Life Podcast, Gina Kitzmiller - Professional Intuitive, author, Reiki Master Teacher, and founder of Trimatri® Reiki - sits down with Andrea Morrison of Balance From Within (Sebring, Florida) for a grounded, expansive conversation on craniosacral therapy, nervous system regulation, and the inner shifts that help us reclaim our power.

Andrea breaks down craniosacral therapy as a gentle, fascia-informed approach that supports the body’s return to homeostasis - especially when we’ve been living in chronic fight/flight/freeze. Together, Gina and Andrea explore how stress and emotion can be held in the body, why true healing isn’t something that’s “done to you,” and how the right support can help you come back into your own inner authority.

This episode also goes deeper into the real-life spiritual work: judgment vs. compassion, authenticity, and the “shadow” as a teacher. You’ll hear why patterns often return leveled up - not to punish you, but to help you strengthen boundaries, integrate the lesson, and move forward with more clarity. Plus, Andrea shares her surprising career pivot and a manifestation moment.

• Your body is designed to heal - but it needs the nervous system to feel safe enough to do it.
• How we fall into the victim mindset and how to change it.
• Awareness is powerful: observing thoughts without labeling them “good/bad” can create real change.
• Boundaries often get tested at higher levels as you grow - this is how lessons become embodied.
• Presence is medicine: when someone can hold steady, your system can recalibrate naturally.

Andrea Morrison is a Craniosacral Therapist and channeling energy healer, and the founder of Balance From Within. After experiencing craniosacral therapy 15 years ago, she felt called to leave a 23 year career in dental hygiene and devote her work to supporting the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Fascinated by healing from an early age, Andrea has studied and blended multiple modalities into her practice including elements of massage, sound, crystals, and frequency work, creating sessions that are both subtle and profoundly transformative for the mind body and soul.

Trigger warning: miscarriage / pregnancy loss

In this episode of The Karuna Life Podcast, I sit down with Intuitive, Energy Healer, Astrologer, and Children’s Author Nicole Lea Turner—currently 36 weeks pregnant with her second child—to talk about pregnancy as both a deeply human experience and a powerful spiritual portal.

We explore what happens when a sensitive, intuitive woman carries a new soul, including how Nicole’s previous miscarriages shaped this pregnancy and the way she relates to the soul she’s carrying now. She shares how those losses, while deeply painful, also felt like part of a larger soul path that ultimately led to this baby.

We talk about:

• The energetic and emotional shifts she noticed as soon as she became pregnant
• How this pregnancy has felt like its own spiritual upgrade
• Why she feels many of the babies coming in now are lightworker souls with a very specific purpose
• How her intuition, dreams, and inner knowing have changed while carrying this little one
• The reality of holding both collective intensity and maintaining faith
• The honest mix of grief, fear, hope, and trust after loss—and how she makes space for all of it

If you’re pregnant, trying to conceive, healing from loss, parenting a sensitive kid, or you just feel that the new souls arriving are here on a mission, this conversation offers validation, perspective, and gentle company on the path. ✨

Is every intense connection a “twin flame”… or just really loud chemistry? In this episode of The Karuna Life Podcast, Gina Kitzmiller sits down with Catherine Hinkle to unpack the twin flame phenomenon—what it is (and isn’t), how it differs from a soul mate bond, and why this archetype can be both a catalyst and a challenge.

We explore the “why” behind twin flames (growth, mirror work, karmic cleanup), the common pitfalls (spiritualized obsession, breadcrumbing, runner–chaser loops), and how to spot red flags. For practitioners, we offer grounded guidance on ethics and how to offer support rather than demand outcomes. For seekers, we share ways to recover your center, rebuild nervous-system safety, and remember the point: your life, your sovereignty, your soul.

We cover:

• Twin Flames vs. Soul Mates: frameworks, overlap, and key distinctions
• The “why”: mirrors, lessons, timing, and unhealthy patterns
• Practitioner cautions: avoiding prediction traps, marketing ploys, and dependency
• Self-support: boundaries, embodiment, resourcing, and calling in healthy love

Perfect for anyone curious about twin flames, disentangling from an unhealthy dynamic, or supporting clients with clarity and compassion—minus the hype.

Catherine Hinkle is an Air Force veteran and OSU-trained Family Nurse Practitioner who blends integrative medicine with intuitive healing. Her personal wellness journey—including a 100-lb transformation—inspires her whole-person approach. Catherine is a Certified Holistic Wellness Coach/Nutritionist, Certified Intuitive Counselor, Practical Reiki Master/Instructor, and a 200-hour Mindful Resilience Yoga Teacher with the Veterans Yoga Project.

In this episode of The Karuna Life Podcast, Gina Kitzmiller talks with Edit B Kiss — holistic mentor, success habit coach, #1 best-selling author, Humanitarian Award winner, and international speaker — about what it really takes to move from chaos to inner peace.

Edit shares why she walked away from a 15-year career in petroleum engineering to do trauma healing work, and why true transformation doesn’t have to take a lifetime. We get into why talk-only approaches can stall, and how energy-based work (including Sekhem, Usui Reiki, and ancestral clearing) can create real shifts in how you feel day to day.

We also get practical: why meditation is helpful and how to start raising your vibration now, and Edit’s biggest takeaway for creating lasting change. If you’ve been “doing the work” and still feel stuck, this one is for you.

In this inspiring episode of The Karuna Life, Gina sits down with Lisa Michelle Umina—award-winning author, publisher, and founder/CEO of Halo Publishing International and the Elite Voices imprint. With 20+ years in the industry and over 3,000 titles launched, Lisa shares why she chose the self-publishing path, the gap she set out to fill, and the core values that guide her team’s partnerships with authors. You’ll learn how to make an indie book stand shoulder-to-shoulder with traditionally published titles, where new authors tend to underestimate the work (no shame—just truth and a good checklist), and what Halo’s process looks like from first inquiry to launch day. Lisa also tells the story of an author who nearly quit—and the pivotal shift that brought the book to its readers. If you feel called to write but overwhelmed, this conversation offers your next right step… and the one sticky note Lisa would leave on every author’s desk.
