Leanor arrived in Copenhagen from Canada with two babies, a pram, and an airbed after her marriage ended. Years later she had built a property development company with thousands of homes and a business teaching homeowners how to love their home.

She shares her story of divorce, single motherhood, and burnout with Rebecca, including her struggles with getting a mortgage, an inspection that made her home uninhabitable, and other "character-building" experiences. What you will love throughout this episode, though, is that throughout the struggle, little moments of serendipity, divine gifts, and alignment kept Leanor on a beautiful path of realizing her dreams.

They cover manifestation, hyper-independence, letting go of what no longer fits, and a dream home visualization exercise.

What if the conception journey is about more than becoming a parent? What if it can also become a doorway into healing, creativity, self-trust, and reconnecting with the parts of you that are ready to come alive?

In this episode of the Risen Collective Podcast, I am joined by Mica Blaise, a conception catalyst, energy healer, soul-baby reader, and creator of The Creation Codes Oracle deck. Mica shares how she supports people through conception journeys, fertility struggles, pregnancy loss, creative blocks, and major life transitions by helping them connect with their own energy, spiritual guidance, and what she describes as soul-baby energy.

We explore what soul baby readings are, how Mica approaches energy healing through her ARC process, acknowledge, release, and connect, and why conception challenges can sometimes bring deeper emotional, ancestral, or spiritual themes to the surface. Mica also shares her personal story of discovering this work, becoming a Reiki master, shamanic practitioner, and sound healer, and finding greater freedom to step into her path after divorce.

This conversation is for anyone on a conception or fertility journey, navigating miscarriage or abortion grief, longing for a future family, rebuilding after divorce, or feeling called to create something new in their life. Because sometimes the thing you think you are trying to bring into the world: a baby, a relationship, a book, a business, or a new identity, may also be inviting you home to yourself.

In this episode:

• What it means to be a conception catalyst and energy healer
• How Mica describes soul baby readings and spiritual conception support
• The connection between the womb, feminine energy, creativity, and the sacral chakra
• Why fertility and conception journeys can bring your entire life “up for review”
• The ARC process: acknowledge, release, and connect
• Spiritual perspectives on energetic blocks, ancestral healing, past-life themes, and conception
• How pregnancy loss, miscarriage, or abortion may be held as part of someone’s healing journey
• Why divorce can become a portal for remembering who you are and stepping into a more aligned life
• How soul-baby energy can be explored even before you have a partner or are actively trying to conceive
• Mica’s upcoming book, Soul Baby, and her Oracle deck, The Creation Codes
• Mica’s work with virtual sessions, personal energy healing, soul baby readings, and custom activating images

Mica’s work is rooted in spiritual and energetic perspectives rather than medical care. She emphasizes that her sessions can complement, not replace, medical fertility support, and she does not provide medical guidance.

Dating after divorce can feel exhausting, intimidating, and deeply personal, especially when you are trying to rebuild your life, heal from heartbreak, parent, run a business, or learn how to trust again.

But what if dating is not a punishment, a waiting room, or simply a stressful path to finding your next relationship? What if it is one of the fastest ways to reconnect with yourself, heal old wounds, strengthen your self-worth, and become more aligned with the love and life you actually want?

In this solo episode of the Risen Collective Podcast, I am sharing the dating-after-divorce mindset shifts that completely changed my own experience. After almost three years of dating post-divorce, I no longer see dating as something to survive. I see it as a powerful opportunity to practice boundaries, self-trust, intuition, discernment, and choosing myself, again and again.

I share why I stopped looking for a replacement for my ex, how I learned to date outside of my usual “type,” and why being open to people with different backgrounds, lifestyles, careers, and perspectives taught me more about what I truly value in a partner. I also talk about the lessons dating has brought up around scarcity, self-worth, fear of rejection, feeling safe when life gets good, and releasing the belief that someone else is coming to save you.

This is not about forcing yourself to date before you are ready. It is about approaching dating consciously when and if you decide to step back into it—so each connection becomes a source of information, healing, growth, and clarity rather than another reason to abandon yourself.

In this episode:

• Why dating after divorce can be an opportunity for growth, not just a search for a new partner.
• How to stop dating a “replacement” for your ex and begin exploring what you actually want.
• Why play, curiosity, and open-mindedness can make dating feel lighter and more expansive.
• The real green flags that matter more than someone looking perfect on paper.
• How dating can reveal old wounds, patterns, fears, and self-sabotage.
• The scarcity mindset that makes one promising person feel like your only chance at love.
• Why a healthy relationship should not be about finding someone to rescue you.
• How to rebuild self-worth through boundaries, discernment, and choosing yourself in small moments.
• How to view rejection as redirection and use difficult dating experiences as valuable information.
• Why you can be open to love while still keeping your life, business, purpose, and identity intact.
• How intuition and self-awareness can help you date more consciously.
• The difference between dating to fill a void and dating from a place of wholeness.
• Why the real goal is not “getting the person,” it is becoming the most self-trusting, secure, and aligned version of you.

You are not behind because you are single. You are not unworthy because someone did not choose you. And you do not have to settle, abandon yourself, or rush your healing to be loved. You can enjoy dating, learn from every connection, trust yourself more deeply, and create a life that feels good whether or not you are in a relationship.

If you are navigating divorce, rebuilding your confidence, healing your relationship patterns, or dating after a long-term relationship, this episode is for you.

If you are ready for deeper support, explore the Risen Collective community. You can also find resources, meditations, activations, intuitive guidance, and courses for navigating dating and divorce from a more empowered and spiritually grounded perspective.

What does a death doula actually do, and how can conversations about death help us live more fully?

In this episode, I sit down with Nikki DiGaetano, a death doula, grief-support practitioner, and the voice behind Numbered Days, for an honest, grounding, and unexpectedly empowering conversation about death, dying, grief, end-of-life planning, and living with intention.

Nikki shares her journey from feeling unfulfilled and “sleepwalking” through life to finding purpose in hospice volunteering, death doula training, and grief work. Together, we talk about why death does not have to be a taboo topic, how acknowledging our mortality can bring more clarity to our relationships and choices, and why it is completely normal for death to feel both meaningful and scary.

We also break down what death doulas do, including non-medical emotional support, end-of-life planning, hospice navigation, bedside companionship, grief support, and legacy work. Whether you are navigating a divorce, parenting on your own, grieving someone you love, caring for a family member, or simply trying to live more intentionally, this conversation offers a compassionate new perspective.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What a death doula is—and what they are not
• The difference between a death doula, hospice, and medical end-of-life care
• How death doulas can support individuals and families before, during, and after a loss
• Grief support when you feel alone, divorced, or unsupported by the people around you
• Why end-of-life planning is valuable at every age
• How to navigate conversations about medical wishes, legacy, and final arrangements
• The relationship between death anxiety, grief, and intentional living
• Why writing your own obituary can become a powerful purpose and manifestation exercise
• How to stop “sleepwalking” through life and start aligning your daily choices with the life you want to be remembered for
• How to find a death doula and why it is important to choose someone who feels like the right fit

Death is one of the few universal experiences we all share, yet so many of us are taught to avoid talking about it. Nikki reminds us that while death and grief can be painful, uncomfortable, and frightening, they can also invite us back into presence—helping us appreciate our relationships, name what matters most, and live with more courage while we are here.

Why do you keep repeating the same painful patterns, even when you know better?

In this powerful episode of the Risen Collective Podcast, Rebecca sits down with subconscious reprogramming coach Renee Ella to unpack the real reasons we stay stuck in self-sabotage, unhealthy relationships, money struggles, perfectionism, overthinking, and the familiar cycles we desperately want to leave behind.

Renee shares how early-life experiences can shape the beliefs, coping strategies, and “safe” patterns we carry into adulthood and why journaling, affirmations, and surface-level mindset work may not always create lasting change on their own. Together, Rebecca and Renee explore subconscious reprogramming, neuroplasticity, somatic healing, nervous-system regulation, inner-child patterns, and the radical responsibility required to stop living as the victim of your circumstances and start becoming the main character of your own life.

You’ll hear honest, relatable conversations about:

• Why healthy love can feel scarier than chaotic relationships
• How childhood messages around money can influence adult financial habits
• The connection between perfectionism, people-pleasing, and feeling worthy
• Why your brain may resist the very growth you consciously want
• How nervous-system regulation can help you respond differently to stress, parenting, relationships, and big life changes
• Why healing does not mean becoming perfect—or raising perfect children
• The role of coaching, somatic work, and supportive accountability in creating real transformation
• How to stop blaming yourself or others and reclaim your power

If you feel like you have tried the affirmations, made the vision boards, done the journaling, gone to therapy, and still find yourself returning to the same patterns, this conversation will help you see yourself with more compassion—and give you a new lens for creating sustainable change.

When someone you love is struggling with addiction, denial, depression, or destructive patterns, it’s easy to get pulled into a painful cycle of proving, pleading, policing, and arguing. But what if trying harder to make them “see the problem” is actually making it harder for them to change?

In this powerful episode of The Risen Collective, Rebecca sits down with addiction counselor and relationship strategist Amber Hollingsworth to explore a different approach to helping someone who doesn’t want help. With more than 20 years of experience, Amber shares practical insight for spouses, parents, friends, and family members who feel exhausted, dismissed, or trapped in a toxic dynamic.

You’ll hear why collecting evidence, explaining your feelings, and enforcing rules can unintentionally position you as “the bad guy,” and what to do instead. Amber breaks down how to build genuine influence, create emotional safety without enabling harmful behavior, make effective requests, and understand the crucial difference between a boundary and a rule for someone else.

This conversation is for anyone who loves someone in denial, feels responsible for fixing them, or needs to reclaim their own peace while navigating a difficult relationship.

• Why arguing, proving, and confronting often deepen defensiveness
• How to stop becoming the “villain” in someone else’s story
• The power of communicating understanding before offering advice
• Why emotional safety can open the door to honesty and change
• The difference between boundaries, rules, and requests
• How to protect your energy without abandoning the person you love
• Why pouring back into your own life is essential—not selfish
• How to walk away, if necessary, with a clear conscience and without losing yourself
• What it looks like to move from reacting emotionally to thinking strategically

Amber’s message is a hopeful one: you may have more influence in your relationships than you realize, but it starts with changing the role you are playing in the cycle.

In this vulnerable episode, I’m sharing the deeper story behind my relationship with food, hunger, self-worth, and what I call the chosen wound.

This is not a conversation about judging celebrities, body size, or anyone’s use of GLP-1 medications or appetite suppressants. It is about the larger cultural pattern of praising people for becoming smaller without always asking whether they are okay—and the ways many of us quietly struggle to nourish ourselves, rest, receive support, or believe we are worthy of care.

For years, I could understand my worth intellectually. I had boundaries. I had standards. I could walk away from situations that did not honor me. But feeding myself consistently felt impossible. As a working single mom navigating postpartum depletion, survival mode, and the emotional weight of feeling unseen, food became much more than food.

In this episode, I share how my parents supported my daughters and me through difficult seasons, how hunger became tangled up with grief and abandonment, why being taken out to dinner felt like being chosen, and the unexpected healing shift that helped nourishment start to feel like love again.

If you have ever known what you “should” do for yourself but felt like your body would not let you do it, this episode is for you. You are not lazy. You are not broken. Sometimes the patterns we judge most harshly are old survival strategies asking to be witnessed with compassion.

Please remember: this episode shares personal experience and spiritual reflection, not medical advice. If you are struggling to eat consistently, experiencing rapid weight changes, dizziness, fainting, hair loss, or distress around food, please reach out to a qualified medical or mental-health professional for support.
