Have you ever wondered why certain people enter your life with a force you can't explain, even when the relationship is painful or confusing?

In the first episode of The Curious Soul, Cristina Malavenda and Marty Go begin the conversation that inspired this podcast: two best friends exploring the deeper meaning of life, the signs we notice, the people who change us, and the unseen threads that shape our lives.

Today's episode explores past life regression, karmic relationships, trauma healing, intention, and purpose. Marty shares deeply personal regression experiences that helped her understand painful relationship patterns, anxiety, self-hatred, guilt, and the intense drive she has always felt to create meaningful work.

Cristina and Marty also discuss what past life regression is, how these experiences can appear visually and emotionally, and why setting an intention may shape what you are ready to see, understand, or heal.

Whether you believe in past lives or are simply curious about why certain people and experiences feel destined, this episode invites you to stay open, ask bigger questions, and look at your own life with more curiosity.

You'll hear:

• What past life regression is and why Cristina and Marty are fascinated by it
• Marty's experience with a painful karmic relationship and a love story from another lifetime
• How past life memories may connect to anxiety, guilt, self-hatred, and trauma healing
• How purpose, creativity, and filmmaking became part of Marty's healing story
• Why intention matters before a past life regression
• Cristina's first regression experience and what it revealed about love, identity, and connection
