From Healthcare Professional to Holistic Healer: A Journey of Radical Authenticity

In this deeply moving and raw episode, multi-passionate entrepreneur and author Kimberly Rush courageously shares her extraordinary journey of transformation—from registered nurse and birth worker to energy healer and empowerment author. With unprecedented vulnerability, Kimberly opens up about her current reality: living in her car for over two years while battling Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) caused by mold poisoning.

You'll hear about:

• 🏥 Her 27-year career serving women in maternal-child health as an RN, IBCLC, childbirth educator, and doula
• 🔬 The shocking discovery of CIRS—a genetic condition affecting 25% of the population that prevents the body from clearing biotoxins
• 🚗 The difficult choice to live in her car as her only safe space after mold poisoning
• 💡 How she developed a "superpower"—the ability to detect unsafe environments through her heightened sensitivity
• 🧠 The connection between mold toxicity and conditions like MS, dementia, Alzheimer's, fibromyalgia, and Parkinson's
• ⚕️ Being gaslit by the medical system and advocating for yourself when providers dismiss your symptoms
• 🧬 The Richie Shoemaker protocol and how genetic expression can be changed through treatment
• 📖 Writing "Dare to be HER" during her darkest season and finding gratitude in the midst of crisis
• 💪 Living authentically while facing chronic illness, homelessness, and financial uncertainty

Kimberly's story powerfully demonstrates how perspective can transform even the most challenging circumstances. She shares practical insights about nervous system regulation, the importance of feeling safe in your body for healing, and how environmental toxins are affecting more people than we realize.

This episode is a masterclass in resilience, self-advocacy, and finding your voice even when the world tries to silence you. Kimberly's journey from healthcare provider to patient activist offers hope and practical wisdom for anyone facing chronic illness, housing insecurity, or the need to completely rebuild their life.

Welcome Back - "What Happens After"

Season 2 opens with Lisa V sharing what happened in the space between. With raw vulnerability, Lisa reveals her journey through ending a relationship that wasn't aligned - one that was soft, familiar, and safe until it stopped being honest.

In the ashes of burning through who she thought she was supposed to be, Lisa discovered her Soul Contract - a compass for what we no longer shrink for.

You'll hear about:

• Leaving love that couldn't expand beyond where they were
• The moment something cracked wide open in that space
• Her Soul Contract - a compass for what we no longer shrink for
• Standing on stage and eating fire to reclaim her voice
• Finding herself in the choice, not the loss
• Why Season 2 isn't about holding space - it's about igniting it

A Raw Reflection on Transformation

As Season 1 comes to an end, host Lisa V gets vulnerable about her own rabbit hole journey. In this intimate finale, she shares how literally eating fire became the moment everything shifted - from playing small to reclaiming her voice, from a loving relationship that needed to end to meeting herself again after years of hiding.

Lisa reflects on the "quiet detonation" of the first half of 2025 and what it means for the completely different Season 2 ahead.

"Remember, what broke you isn't the end of your story. It's where your reflection begins."

In this deeply moving episode of Rabbit Hole Reflections, spiritual seeker and author Suzanne Marambio shares her profound journey of awakening that began with the sudden loss of her mother to cancer in 2012.

With raw honesty and gentle wisdom, Suzanne reveals how devastating grief became the catalyst for complete spiritual transformation. Living in Melbourne with her husband and two children, she has spent the past decade undergoing significant inner work, experiencing multiple spiritual deaths of the ego, and ultimately reconnecting with her soul purpose and divine love.

In this conversation, you'll discover how Suzanne moved through what she describes as transitioning from 3D to 4D to 5D consciousness. She opens up about her transformative journey through mindfulness, meditation, and conscious parenting, while awakening spiritual gifts including Reiki, sound healing, light language, and Kundalini energy.

Suzanne also shares how her inner work transformed her relationships and parenting approach, her exploration of holistic healing modalities, and insights from her debut book "Journey from the Ego to the Heart Centre" published in March 2025.

Today, Suzanne guides others through their own spiritual transformation, helping people break free from limiting beliefs and embrace heart-centered living. With a daily practice that begins at 5:15 AM, she demonstrates how consistent inner work can lead to profound personal sovereignty and authentic connection.

**From Cultural Constraints to Authentic Self: A Journey of Spiritual Transformation**

In this powerful episode, spiritual business coach Yuliana Francie shares her remarkable journey from suppressing her truth in a traditional Chinese-Indonesian household to becoming a best-selling author and transformational mentor. With refreshing honesty, Yuliana reveals how she overcame cultural stigmas around divorce, navigated family rejection, and ultimately created her own definition of affluence through reclaiming her voice and power.

You'll hear about:
* Yuliana's journey immigrating to Australia at 18 and finding her path to authentic self-expression
* How she transformed from a serial entrepreneur to a spiritual business mentor * The awakening moment when she realized her marriage mirrored her parents' dysfunctional relationship patterns
* Her powerful ASK MORE™ framework that teaches women to negotiate in every conversation
* Breaking through limiting cultural beliefs as a Chinese Catholic woman from Indonesia
* How redefining divorce as "graduation" changed her perspective on relationships * The three steps of manifestation: courage to ask, pursue, and receive

Today, as the best-selling author of "Unbecoming You: 21 Days to Live Life on Your Own Terms," Yuliana teaches high-achieving women to stop settling and start receiving by owning their voice and power. Her mission extends beyond business success to ending gender-based violence and poverty by helping women reclaim their worth.

Through Yuliana's vulnerable storytelling and practical wisdom, this episode challenges conventional relationship narratives and offers a new paradigm where true wealth comes through self-reclamation and choosing yourself, not through pleasing others.
