What if healing was never meant to be a straight line?
In this episode of The Portal Podcast, I sit down with hypnotherapist and moon circle facilitator Sophie Neve to explore the wisdom of healing in circles and cycles — and what the moon, our bodies, the seasons, and our relationships can teach us about the natural rhythm of growth, release, and renewal.
We talk about why healing can’t always be rushed or “fixed,” the power of gathering in intentional circles where we can be truly seen and heard, and how other people’s stories can become mirrors that reveal something within ourselves. We explore the cycles we move through throughout life, the lessons that emerge when a cycle comes to completion, and how awareness can help us recognize when we’re being invited to grow rather than pulled back into an old pattern.Sophie also shares the unexpected story of how she was called to begin facilitating moon circles, her journey of integrating spirituality with her therapeutic work, and why she believes we need spaces where there is no hierarchy — only the opportunity to listen, share, reflect, and connect.
Whether you’re just beginning your healing journey or you’ve been walking this path for years, this conversation is an invitation to stop judging where you are in the cycle and start listening to what this particular season of your life is asking of you.
Because maybe healing isn’t about becoming someone new.
Maybe it’s about remembering that you’ve always been moving in circles.
Let us know if this conversation sparked a new perspective on your own healing journey, the cycles you’re moving through, or the power of gathering in circle.
What is this season of life revealing to you, teaching you and reminding you?
