In this Champagne Charlas episode of Modern Latina in Midlife, I’m sitting down with my dear friend and intuitive healer, Kimberly Katherine, to talk honestly about what it’s reallylike to become an empty nester. We’re only a few weeks in—week five, six—and already it’s brought up waves of unexpected grief, pride, identity shifts, and those “out of nowhere” tears that feel a lot like loss. We share how we’re navigating quiet houses, kids getting sick far away from home, and that helpless feeling of not being able to swoop in and fix it like we usedto—whether they’re off at university or in the Navy.

We also talk about the practical and spiritual side of this transition: grocery bills and gas going down, rearranging rooms, the urge to move (or not move), and how we’re using this season to turn inward. You’ll hear how we’re leaning on journaling, meditation, nervous system regulation, spirit guides, and deep inner work to rediscover who we are beyond motherhood. If you’re an empty nester, or you know it’s coming, this conversation will make you feel seen, less alone, and hopefully a little more supported as you write your next chapter, too.

So grab your favorite bubbly or tea, get comfy, and join us for this honest girlfriend conversation.

In this episode, I share a very real and humbling morning of divine redirection, from double-booked appointments and canceled interviews to a flat tire and shifting weekend plans. What started as a frustrating series of interruptions turned into a beautiful reminder to trust, surrender, and listen to the whispers of the Universe. Sometimes, what feels like chaos is simply Spirit’s way of saying, “Slow down, dear one. There’s magic in the stillness.”

Episode Highlights:

• How I handled a cascade of unexpected detours with trust andgrace
• The deeper message behind being “redirected” by the Universe
• A realization about my journey with surrender and faith
• Why slowing down can be the most aligned next step
• An invitation to see redirection as protection — and divinetiming at work

Today I’m joined by the radiant Carly Wise—EFTpractitioner, somatic guide, and dear friend who walked with me through one of the darkest seasons of my life and helped me find my inner light again. We dive into how EFT/tapping teaches us to actually feel and processemotions, regulate the nervous system, and come back to safety in real time.

Carly shares her path from psoriasis and emotional suppression to sobriety,self-expression, and coaching women worldwide. If you’ve felt stuck in talk therapy loops or you’re moving through a storm, this conversation offers practical tools, hope, and a way home to yourself.

Episode Highlights:

• What EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is and how tapping works on meridian points

• Emotions as a communication system—not “good” or “bad”

• Nervous system regulation: meeting feelings, not avoiding them

• The 3–7 second wave: why fully feeling helps emotions dissipate

• Carly’s story: psoriasis, heavy emotions, weed use → sobriety + somatic healing

• Discovering tapping (2018) and the first tool that “clicked”

• From fear to flow: tapping through money blocks and witnessing income shifts

• Why self-administered tools are empowering (you can do this anywhere)

• Somatics beyond tapping: running, dancing, art expression, toning

• Using art (the “blob” exercise) to track emotional change visually

• Gentle mantra: “Teach your nervous system that the good is safe.”

In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Audra Yankton, an Empowerment and Intuition Coach and the founder of Unveil You, where she helps women who’ve spent years dimming their light finally feel safe to be seen, heard, and fully expressed.

Audra shares how her own journey through postpartum depression became the turning point that awakened her intuition, led her backto her authentic self, and ultimately inspired the work she does today.

Together, we explore healing, surrender, radical optimism, and what it truly means to listen to the whispers of your soul, even when life feels dark.

This is a tender and inspiring conversation aboutresilience, divine timing, and the light that’s always waiting for us on the other side of struggle.

Episode Highlights:• How postpartum depression became the catalyst for Audra’s spiritual awakening

• The power of radical optimism and faith when navigating life’s darkest moments

• How energy work and EFT helped her release fear and reconnect to her intuition

• The importance of self-care, community, and finding your people on the path of healing

• Why slowing down and listening for your inner light can change everything

• How to begin shifting from survival to surrender—one quiet moment at a time

If you’re feeling lost, disconnected, or unsure how to find your light again, this episode is a beautiful reminder that healing doesn’t have to happen all at once. It begins with one breath, one whisper, one small act of self-love.

In this tender, real-life conversation, I welcome my very first guest, Heather! We talk about the “whispers” that guide us, the seasons when life gets loud, and the simple practices that bring us back to center.

From moving out at 17 and finding her way, to journaling since age 16, walking for clarity, mama life, and Human Design, Heather shares how everyday moments (yes, even pink sweaters and Trader Joe’s runs) can become sacred signposts.You’ll hear about her heart-led merch line “What’s That Whisper?”, whyjournaling can be a doorway to guidance, and how listening—really listening—changeseverything.

• First guest vibes: Meet Heather, how we connected through Kathy Heller’s community and why this conversation felt like destiny.
• Following the whisper at 17: Moving from Anchorage to the Pacific Northwest, finding support, and learning to trust the next rightstep.
• Journaling as a lifeline: Starting at 16, keeping a hope chest of notebooks, and using prompts/automatic writing to receiveguidance.
• Simple practices that work: Walking, dancing, breath before busy, and pausing long enough to hear your inner yes.
• Human Design in real life: Heather as a Projector, me as a Manifestor 1/3, how knowing your design softens self-judgment and aligns your energy.
• Everyday synchronicities: How Spirit speaks through people, timing, and tiny nudges (even where to sit for lunch).
• Mama, chickens & a full house: Finding presence in the beautiful chaos, eggs, football season, and a girl dog to balance the boys.
• “What’s That Whisper?” merch drop: Tees, sweatshirts, mugs, and cozy seasonal bundles, affirmations you can wear to remember who you are.
• Starting where you are: Don’t overcomplicate journaling. Try “I don’t know what to say…” and let the pen lead the way.
• Grace on the path: On healing, support, and the angels who show up with the next gentle step.

Hello, I’m Kimberly Katherine, and welcome back to The Light Keeper's Path. I’m so glad you’re here. In this episode, I wanted to share a story that’s been a surprising part of my healing journey — one that’s less about meditation or energy work, and more about something deeply practical: money.

Recently, I’ve been diving into my finances — tracking every expense, decluttering subscriptions, and creating clarity around where my energy (and dollars) are flowing. What I didn’t expect was how healing it would feel. This journey toward financial awareness has brought me peace, groundedness, and a sense of empowerment that’s rippling into every area of my life.

✨ Episode Highlights:

• How a few hours of decluttering and phone calls saved me nearly $3,000 a year
• The healing connection between financial order and emotional peace
• Why tracking your money daily can be a sacred act of mindfulness
• The surprising ways financial chaos mirrors inner chaos
• How intentional spending supports your spiritual growth and stability
• A gentle reminder to align your money choices with your energy and values
• This episode is an invitation to bring mindfulness into every corner of your life — even your finances — and to see how clarity, in all forms, leads to deeper healing.
• If this message resonates with you, I’d love to hear how you’re bringing more intention and awareness into your own life.

In our last episode, I invited you to pause—to step out of autopilot, breathe, and listen to your own heart. Today, we’re taking that pause one step further. What do you want to fill that space with? For me, one of the most powerful answers has always been gratitude.

Gratitude isn’t just a pleasant thought—it’s a frequency shift. It softens the nervous system, anchors us in the present, and transforms even the heaviest moments into spaces of possibility. In this episode, I share how gratitude has carried me through divorce, financial fear, and the emotional milestone of helping my daughter move to university. I’ll also guide you through simple, soul-anchoring practices to weave gratitude into your daily rhythm.

Highlights from this episode:

• Why gratitude is the natural next step after creating space with a pause

• How gratitude shifts our frequency and softens chaos

• Personal stories of leaning into gratitude during life transitions

• Simple practices you can try: the gratitude breath, morning gratitude, gratitude walks, and bedtime reflections

• How to let even small moments—like the sound of your dog’s paws on the floor—remind you that you’re supported

• A guided breath practice to bring gratitude into your body right now

This week, after you pause, ask yourself: What can I be grateful for right now? Let that answer—no matter how small—fill you with light as you walk your path forward.

If this message resonates, please subscribe so you never miss an episode, and share it with someone who might need this reminder today. You may be the light they’re searching for.

In this episode of The Light’s Path, I share a personal story about the power of the sacred pause—those unexpected moments when lifeforces us to stop. For me, it came during a week when my daughter was sick after our trip to Hawaii. Instead of pushing through the endless to-do list, I leaned into stillness, meditation, and trust.

I talk about how these pauses are often invitations from the universe to reset, calm our nervous system, and open ourselves to the messages waiting for us—from spirit, from our higher selves, from the divine.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the weight of your responsibilities, this episode will remind you that pressing pause isn’t weakness—it’s sacred.

Highlights

·      What a sacred pause really means and why itmatters

·      How I navigated an overwhelming week when mydaughter was sick

·      The role of meditation (sometimes twice or threetimes a day) in resetting my energy

·      Why curveballs in life are often opportunitiesfor realignment

·      How pausing calms the nervous system and allows us to hear spiritual guidance

·      Simple practices to create your own pause:meditation, journaling, or even a short walk

·      The reminder that pausing isn’t fallingbehind—it’s creating space for what’s next

In this episode of The Light’s Path, I’m speaking to anyone living with chronic illness—whether you’ve just been diagnosed or have been carrying it for years. I know how overwhelming and scary it can feel, and I want you to know this: you can own your chronic illness instead of letting it own you.

I share from my 25+ years of experience, the lessons I’ve learned, and the mindset shift that changed everything for me. I believe healing begins with one powerful decision—the choice to take charge of your health, your mindset, and your path forward.

Think of this episode as me holding up a light and saying: you’ve got this, and you’re not alone.

Show Highlights:

• Why I believe every chronic illness journey is unique—like a signature scent

• The first and most powerful step I took: deciding to own it

• How I learned to surrender (not give up, but lean in)

• My experiences trying different healing approaches and what they taught me

• The mindset shift that moved me from fear to empowerment

• A message of hope for anyone feeling lost or overwhelmed after diagnosis

In this episode of The Lightkeeper’s Path, I open my heart and share what life has looked like these past two weeks. My daughter is preparing to move away to a four-year university, and while it’s such an exciting milestone, I’ve been riding the waves of “empty nester” emotions. From unexpected pauses and challenges during our recent vacation to the bittersweet joy of fall traditions we’ve always shared, I’ve been reminded again of thepower of surrender.

Life transitions aren’t easy, whether it’s sending your child off to college, navigating illness, or facing financial uncertainty, but they invite us to lean into trust, release control, and remember that our inner light always leads the way.

If you’ve ever found yourself in a season of change and wondered how to keep moving forward, this one is for you.

Episode Highlights

• Letting go while supporting my daughter’s next big step

• How unexpected pauses (like illness) can offer hidden gifts

• The bittersweet emotions of favorite traditions and family milestones

• What surrender really means, without giving up

• Practical ways to go within when life feels overwhelming (journaling, walking, meditating)

• Trusting that transitions can deepen our relationships and resilience
