  • I Was Lucky My Grandmother Taught Me To Be A Healer
    2026/03/05
    Imagine growing up in a world where energy was real, spirit was part of the conversation, and healing was something passed down through generations. That was my guest, Barbara Savin’s world. In this episode, Barbara shares the powerful influence of her two grandmothers and how they shaped the path she walks today. One was a natural healer. The other lived a life of service. Between the two of them, Barbara absorbed something rare – a deep knowing that life is more than what you can see. From Brooklyn to Spiritual Awakening Raised in Brooklyn, Barbara’s journey from highly sensitive child to certified hypnotherapist and spiritual life coach is layered, human, and surprisingly relatable. She didn’t just inherit mystical gifts. She had to wrestle with them. And that’s where it gets interesting. Barbara grew up in a time when anything spiritual was dismissed as “woo-woo.” Even with two spiritually attuned grandmothers, the outside world didn’t validate what she felt. Her own mother was skeptical and often dismissive of Barbara’s intuitive experiences, which created a deep inner conflict. Imagine being a sensitive child who feels everything and senses emotion in a room instantly, and then being told it’s not real. That tension stayed with her for years. She often felt caught between two worlds, the practical Brooklyn life around her and the invisible energetic world humming just beneath the surface. It wasn’t until her 30s, when her own health challenges brought her to a breaking point, that she stopped resisting what she already knew. Sometimes life nudges you. Sometimes it pushes. Her health crisis became a doorway. Returning to energy healing wasn’t just about improving her physical well-being. It required emotional, mental, and spiritual recalibration. She had to come home to herself. By reclaiming her intuitive gifts, she regained her health and stepped into her true purpose. And here’s the thing I love about Barbara’s story. It’s the unfolding of someone finally trusting what had always been there. Healing Amidst Trauma One of the most moving periods of her life came after 9/11. Her husband and son managed to escaped harm that day and the enormous relief and gratitude she felt pushed her into service. When invited to help with first responders she jumped at the chance. She worked in the Salvation Army tent on Staten Island, assisting first responders with their healing. Working with firefighters and others who were deeply traumatized changed her understanding of healing forever. Trauma doesn’t just live in the mind. It becomes embedded in the body and ripples through the nervous system. It lingers in the energy field and touches the spirit. You don’t just “get over” something like that. Healing trauma, she realized, is a return to safety on every level. Physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual. It requires presence and compassion, and simply can’t be rushed. Protect Your Energy Her work during that time cemented what she already sensed as a child. You are more than your physical body, and real healing must include the unseen layers of who you are. That brings us to something we both feel strongly about: protect your energy. Barbara credits her grandmother’s teachings about stepping into God’s light as foundational. It’s a simple but powerful image. You consciously surround yourself with light and set an intention that only love flows in and out. That’s a beautiful example of energetic hygiene. Just as you brush your teeth and care for your physical body, you must tend to your energetic well-being. Barbara emphasizes daily practices like meditation, gratitude, and clear boundaries. Her methods are grounded and practical. Part of this is to be discerning about who you spend time with. You can feel the difference between someone who lifts you and someone who drains you. Your body and your energy know. She encourages you to notice who feels expansive and who feels heavy? Maintaining healthy boundaries isn’t selfish. It’s emotionally intelligent and preserves your vitality. Positivity Secrets When I asked Barbara about her secrets to handling the decades with grace and vibrancy, her answer wasn’t complicated. Gratitude and meditation anchor her. Every morning she takes time to reflect on what she’s thankful for. Even during seasons of challenge, including her husband’s health battles, she returns to presence and appreciation. Gratitude, in her view, isn’t a forced positive attitude. Instead, its about alignment and it shifts your energy field. This is how you recalibrate your nervous system. A grateful heart reminds you that life is still offering gifts, even when circumstances feel uncertain. That practice keeps her light strong. Embrace Your Spiritual Path Barbara’s journey is ultimately about listening to the inner voice that refuses to go away. The one that whispers when something looks good on paper but feels wrong in your body. ...

  • What Does The Divine Spark Really Mean?
    2026/02/27
    If you’ve ever had a moment where, for a split second, you remembered who you really are? That’s the divine spark. Not your “to-do list self”, nor the roles you play, but the part of you that feels ancient, luminous, and plugged into everything? I just had one of those flashes, so let me tell you the story. The Divine Spark People use the word spark in all kinds of ways, energy, life force, soul fire. Many meditations invite you to picture a divine spark in the heart. Recently I found myself wondering, where did that image even come from? Who started talking about the spark like that? Minutes later I flopped onto the couch, opened YouTube, and clicked a video from Ellie Dreams Down Under, who has a fabulous playlist on the Gnostic gospels. And what was she talking about? The spark. What it means and how it shows up in the Gnostic texts. The timing made me laugh. (For more about Gospels, check out this episode about the Gospel of Mary -it’s about Mary Magdelene) When things line up like that, I take it as a wink from the Universe. For me, that’s a moment of plugging into something bigger than my personality. It feels like a reminder that I’m part of something larger. Sometimes those reminders are gentle, like a video. Other times they’re not subtle at all. A health crisis, an accident, a loss. Something cracks open ordinary life and there’s a fierce knowing, I am more than this physical form. Buried Wisdom You can trace the idea of a spark through many traditions, but today I want to focus on one text, the Gospel of Truth. It’s a mystical early Christian writing with a lot to say about forgetting, remembering, and that flash of recognition we’re calling the spark. This isn’t a sermon but an esoteric deep dive into what the spark means and how it might be moving in your life. The text was discovered in 1945 at Nag Hammadi in Egypt, part of a buried library of early Christian writings sealed in jars for centuries. It’s usually connected to the Valentinians, a 2nd century mystical Christian group who cared less about believing the right thing and more about remembering where you come from. When I first read it, I’ll be honest, some of the biblical language felt dense. Some of it made me roll my eyes. So I’m going to switch out modern words for what I consider the offensive words. I’ll explain as I go. Belief Vs. Knowing Belief is information you’ve been told. Gnosis, the word the Gnostics used, means inner knowing. It’s that moment when something wakes up and you think, “Oh. I know this. I’ve always known this.” One scholar sums it up like this, “I come from God, I share God’s essence, I will return to God.” That’s the heartbeat of this text. According to this story, humanity has fallen into ignorance and forgetfulness of the Divine Source. The gospel uses the word Father. I prefer Source or Universe. Ignorance is personified as Error. Error is described like a fog, even a nightmare we’re living inside. Then Christ appears. He’s not someone balancing a cosmic spreadsheet of sins, but a teacher and revealer. His role is to dissolve ignorance through direct knowing of Source. From this perspective, salvation isn’t about punishment. It’s about awakening and remembering where you came from and what’s real. That flash of, “Oh. I remember.” That’s the spark. It’s the instant your everyday personality glimpses the deeper self that has never been separated from the Divine. You could even think of intuition as one way the spark activates. That persistent inner knowing that recognizes truth when it hears it. Suffering and Liberation The text says ignorance is the mother of all evils. As a modern woman, you can imagine my reaction. But we need to remember this was written in an ancient patriarchal culture. So, I’ve switched out “gives birth” for what a word I prefer – “creating”. Now you can understand that the gospel says ignorance creates suffering and awakening creates liberation. When you forget who you are, fear and confusion step in. You start building your life around a mistaken identity. Gnosis isn’t trivial information. It’s a direct inner knowing of Source and of your own divine nature. Living in Fog Error refers to the fog. You can recognize it when you cling tightly to your roles such as mother, partner, caregiver, professional, helper. None of those are wrong. They’re beautiful. But when you believe that’s the entirety of who you are, the bigger picture disappears. The spark is the moment something inside you says, “This can’t be the whole story.” It feels expansive. A remembering that you are more than your résumé, more than your relationship status, and more than your current problems. Intuition tugs at your sleeve when you falsely shrink to fit those roles. It refuses to let you live only inside the fog and encourages you to remember the truth of who you are. Human beings carry a piece of the Divine, a ...

  • Is February’s Astrology Causing You To Panic?
    2026/02/19
    February has been so crazy! With this annular solar eclipse, it feels like all hell is breaking loose. Here’s what’s happening astrologically. Is Everyone Panicking? My phone has been busy with texts, voice mails and calls where friends and clients are panicking and some wanted to run something by me. It’s not light stuff. It’s relationship strain, career panic, health worries, friendship fractures, spiritual doubt, or tech meltdowns. What the heck is happening? I thought this was going to be a good year with movement and the power to create? What’s fascinating is that the people reaching out are not normally dramatic. They tend to be savvy women who meditate, journal, regulate, and reflect. They usually handle life relatively easily. And yet this month, everyone’s nervous system is on fire. Let’s zoom out and take the wise-woman view which I sometimes call the 100-foot perspective. When you understand the energy, you stop personalizing it, and that alone can calm you down First let me say, don’t worry, the sky is not falling. But the astrology is wild and crazy. What is An Annular Solar Eclipse? February 17th brought an annular solar eclipse in Aquarius, known as the “ring of fire.” In this type of eclipse, the Moon doesn’t completely block the Sun. The center is obscured, but a ring of light burns around the edges. A total eclipse feels like a blackout and reset. But, this is different. The core is hidden, while the edges are illuminated. You may not see the full picture or answer yet, but the pressure is lighting up what’s out of alignment and not working. Aquarius governs community, technology, collective systems, online spaces, innovation, and the nervous system. It’s about the group, and also the rebel who stands apart from it. Square with Uranus This is beyond my pay grade when it comes to astrology, but the eclipse forms a square to Uranus. That’s the planet of shocks, disruption, sudden change, and liberation through chaos. In astrology, a square creates tension and it pushes and exposes what isn’t working. Now we have an Aquarian eclipse about collective structures and identity, under pressure from Uranus, which breaks what’s rigid and outdated. That alone explains a lot. So, friendships may be strained, you might have tech glitches, and online spaces could seem volatile. And, you may have a strong sense that “I cannot keep doing this the same way.” Spiritually, think of it this way – the annular solar eclipse opens a portal, and Uranus is the lightning bolt shoving you through instead of letting you tiptoe at your own pace. No wonder everyone feels wired. Year of the Fire Horse But that’s not all. In the Chinese zodiac, the 17th marked the start of the Fire Horse year. Fire Horse energy is bold, restless, fast-moving, impulsive, and freedom-driven. It does not like feeling trapped and pushes for action. That layers impulsive Fire Horse energy on top of an Aquarian eclipse that demands reinvention. And again, we’re still not done. Saturn and Neptune Around February 20, Saturn and Neptune meet at zero degrees Aries, which is the very beginning of the zodiac. Think of it as the cosmic starting line. Saturn represents structure, responsibility, and reality. Neptune represents dreams, spirituality, illusion, and dissolution. When they come together, illusions dissolve and dreams get tested. And this is happening in Aries, the sign of identity, initiation, and self-definition. So if you’ve been thinking, “Who am I now?” or “What do I even believe?” or “Why doesn’t my old coping strategy work?” you’re not losing it. This is a deep archetypal reset. It can feel like the old container cracked, and the new one hasn’t been built yet. And this is on top of that annular solar eclipse. Why This Feels Like a Crisis When I look at the conversations I’ve had, there’s a pattern. It’s not random chaos, but more like a threshold of energy. In other words, there’s an energy shift on the horizon. The Aquarius eclipse with Uranus activation is shaking collective and social structures. People are realizing they’ve over-given to groups and stayed in communities that drain them. People are waking up to reaalize they built businesses around systems that don’t fit anymore, or curated identities that now feel warong or false. There may be a strong sense that insists, “I can’t keep being this version of myself” that’s running through everything. Discernment and Wisdom Then, Saturn and Neptune in Aries step in and ask, “If not that…then who are you?” It’s too much! Let me explain this last piece. Neptune dissolves certainty while Saturn demands accountability. Spiritual bypassing won’t work now. Neither will shifting into fantasy or hiding by over-working. And you can’t rescue everyone either. Yet, Fire Horse energy insists that you do something! That’s why people feel tempted to quit their job, leave the relationship, and ...
