Moment 69 | In this episode I discuss my definition of spirituality and how to integrate it into everyday life. Card Pull: "Wild"There is a fire,Deep within your bellyBegging to be acknowledged.Begging to be released. So what is it then, dear one, That is holding you back?Go ahead.You're safe here.Throw your head back, Let the sound escape your lips.Find yourself dancing and singing, Moving and racing, Breaking free,Feel the wind whip through your hair.Your heart beat within your chest.Feel the light pour into every cell of your body.Welcome it.Become it.There is beauty in the untamed, dear one...Come dance with it.

Moment 68 | In this episode we have a conversation with Peter Stuart, RMT.Peter graduated from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in 1993 and has since dedicated his career to helping people overcome chronic pain. With over 30,000 hours of clinical experience, his work focuses primarily on a light-touch, intuitive approach to myofascial release.Early in his career, while working with Dr. Stuart Donaldson, Ph.D., at Myosymmetries—a chronic pain research and treatment facility in Calgary—Peter discovered the profound effectiveness of gentle myofascial techniques. This experience reshaped his understanding of pain and healing, inspiring a lifelong pursuit of knowledge about fascia and whole-person therapy.Drawing from decades of study with leading researchers and mentors, Peter developed an integrative approach that addresses not only physical dysfunction but the emotional and energetic dimensions of pain. His own experiences of recovery and healing have deepened his empathy and connection with those he treats.For over 30 years, Peter has also been an educator, teaching anatomy, physiology, and myofascial release. He believes education is central to healing—both for practitioners and patients alike. By helping patients understand their bodies and actively participate in their recovery, Peter empowers them to achieve meaningful, lasting change.Through his heart-centered approach, Peter continues to bring hope and transformation to those who once believed they had reached the limits of healing—and remains deeply grateful for the inspiration his patients provide.———Card Pull: Inner peace doesn't come from getting what we want, but from remembering who we are. – Marianne Williamson

Shadow work isn’t about fixing yourself; it’s about meeting yourself with honesty, compassion, and courage.We talk about where the shadow comes from, how it shows up in daily life (relationships, triggers, self-sabotage, patterns), and why integrating these hidden parts is essential for true healing and self-acceptance.
