Raised in Ukraine under the Soviet Union's atheistic, engineering-minded culture, Alexandra "Sasha" Tarakanov Plax never expected to dedicate her life to exploring consciousness, past lives, and the soul. Yet a series of profound personal experiences led her beyond the limits of logic and into a decade-long career as a clinical hypnotist and one of the highest-level practitioners of Dolores Cannon's QHHT® method. Today, Sasha has guided thousands of regression sessions and helped countless people discover a deeper understanding of who they truly are.

In this episode, Sasha shares her remarkable journey from skeptic to spiritual explorer, what she's learned from thousands of clients, and why she believes each of us is far more expansive, wise, and capable than we've been taught to believe. We also discuss her new book, A Thousand Days to Yourself, an inspiring guide to self-discovery that encourages readers to trust their inner wisdom, embrace courage, and reconnect with their authentic selves.

In this episode of the Radiate Wellness Podcast, we're talking with Heather, the newest practitioner at Radiate Wellness, and we’re diving into all the really cool (and honestly, super relaxing) work she does.

We talk a lot about sound healing—crystal and Tibetan bowls, gongs, tuning forks—and what it actually feels like to be in a session (hint: it’s amazing). Heather explains how sound and vibration help calm the nervous system, reset the body, and get you into that deep, restorative state we all need more of.

We also get into some of the other modalities she uses, like Qigong energy work, gentle yoga, and Emotional Resolution, which is a really interesting, body-based way to release anxiety, fear, and old patterns.

Plus, we chat about how she got started, how all these different tools work together, and why giving yourself even a few minutes to just rest and reset can make such a big difference.

If you’ve ever been curious about sound baths or just need a reminder to slow down and take care of yourself, this one’s for you. 💛

What do astrology, archetypes, tarot symbolism, and past lives all have in common? In this episode of the Radiate Wellness Podcast, host Christi Clemons Hoffman sits down with astrologer and author Carmen Turner Schott to explore how zodiac archetypes can reveal powerful insights about your soul’s journey.

We discuss Turner-Schott's newest book, Astrology’s Zodiac Archetypes: Using Your Sixth Sense to Transform Past Life Patterns, co-written with astrologer Bernie Ashman. Together they explore how the 12 zodiac signs correspond with archetypal energies rooted in the work of psychologist Carl Jung. These archetypes can help us understand recurring behaviors, karmic patterns, and personality traits that may have carried forward from previous lifetimes.

In this conversation, we dive into how astrology connects with ancient concepts like the four temperaments, tarot symbolism, personality theory, and the collective unconscious. You’ll discover how your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs can reveal your dominant archetypes and provide deeper self-awareness, healing, and transformation.
