In this deeply meaningful episode of Interviews with Innocence, we welcome Brooke Grove—a complex trauma survivor-thriver, near-death experiencer, former psychotherapist, author, and multidisciplinary integrative healer working in co-creation with Spirit.

Brooke's journey bridges both the scientific and spiritual worlds. With advanced degrees in Clinical Psychology, Marital and Family Therapy, and Clinical Art Therapy, she spent years working within traditional psychotherapy before being called into a more expansive path of healing that integrates consciousness, energy medicine, and spiritual guidance.

Her work today draws from an extraordinary range of training and experience, including Shamanic Energy Medicine, Quantum Fieldwork, Transpersonal Neuroscience, trauma-informed psychedelic therapy, and psychedelic-assisted integration. Through this multidimensional approach, Brooke helps people explore, transmute, and transform deeply rooted emotional and energetic patterns.

During our conversation, Brooke shares how profound life experiences—including trauma and a near-death experience—expanded her understanding of consciousness and opened the door to a deeper partnership with Spirit in her healing work.

We also explore the emerging field of psychedelic-assisted healing and the importance of ethical guidance, integration, and spiritual awareness when navigating expanded states of consciousness.

In a very personal moment during the episode, I share how Brooke supported me during the passing of my beloved labradoodle, Daisy. Her compassion, presence, and spiritual perspective brought comfort during a tender and emotional time, reminding me that healing and connection often appear when we need them most.

This episode is a beautiful exploration of resilience, spiritual awakening, and the ways we can transform life's most challenging moments into opportunities for growth, compassion, and deeper connection.

Brooke's upcoming memoir, The Beauty in the Broken Glass, shares her powerful story of trauma, transcendence, and the journey toward healing and light.

In this unforgettable episode of Interviews with Innocence, Marla sits down with Laurie and Eric Kirkland to share a story that feels almost cinematic in its intensity — and yet, every word is true.

Forty years ago, while camping in the Calico Mountains, Laurie and Eric's beloved dog Jesse vanished without a trace. What followed was a week of heartbreak, relentless searching, radio ads, flyers, and a 500 dollar reward.

And then… a psychic entered the story.

What she revealed would guide them to a shocking discovery — including a mysterious collapsed mine shaft, a "big green rock," and a desperate race against time.

Seven days after disappearing in open desert surrounded by coyotes, Jesse was found alive.

In this episode, we explore:

✨ The emotional toll of losing a beloved animal
✨ Why they decided to call a dog psychic
✨ The details she described that proved eerily accurate
✨ The moment she screamed, "He's out!"
✨ The meaning of intuition and unseen guidance
✨ How this experience shifted their view of psychic ability
✨ Eric's later experience with medium John Edward
✨ Signs from loved ones in spirit

This conversation is about devotion, persistence, and the mysterious ways hope sometimes answers back.

Sometimes faith looks like searching one more canyon.

In this inspiring episode of Interviews with Innocence, Marla sits down with Stevie Calista—an astrologer, artist, intuitive channel, and founder of Farmhouse Moon. Stevie brings a grounded, heart-led approach to astrology, blending ancient teachings with intuition, spiritual insight, and compassionate guidance.

Stevie believes our birth chart is a soul map—a blueprint of the lessons, gifts, and karmic patterns we carry into this lifetime. Through her work, she helps people remember who they truly are beneath conditioning, expectations, and fear, and invites them back into alignment with their deepest truth.

Together, Marla and Stevie explore:

✨ How astrology serves as a healing tool
✨ The birth chart as a karmic blueprint and map of the soul
✨ Old souls, past lives, and intuitive remembering
✨ The North and South Nodes — and what they reveal about purpose
✨ How children can benefit from astrology at an early age
✨ Why understanding your rising sign can change everything
✨ Astrology as a form of "spiritual science"
✨ The ways astrology supports awakening, self-trust, and inner peace
✨ Why today's children are here to rebuild a more awakened world

Stevie also shares her own intuitive awakening, her journey from skepticism to spiritual leadership, and how tracking the moon cycles has transformed the way she moves through life.

This conversation is filled with insight, empowerment, and the reminder that we all carry ancient wisdom within us — and astrology is simply a pathway home.
