What happens when you've spent your life surviving - and begin to realise there may be a purpose within everything you've lived through?In this episode of The Auburn Conversations, I’m joined by wellness coach Heather from Walking With Heather, whose extraordinary story is one of illness, trauma, faith, resilience and ultimately finding a way to use her experiences to help others.Heather was born with a congenital heart defect and was not expected to survive to her first birthday.She did.By the age of 17, she had undergone four open-heart surgeries. Then, at 38, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and went through chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. She also lives with fibromyalgia, ADHD, osteoarthritis and chronic pain.But this conversation isn't simply about everything Heather has survived.It's about what happened because she survived.Heather speaks openly about the medical trauma, depression and anxiety she has experienced, and shares an incredibly personal period in her life when she questioned whether she wanted to continue.She also tells me about an experience during heart surgery at the age of 16 that she has rarely spoken about.Heather remembers watching the surgery taking place and feeling a peaceful presence with her. At the end, she remembers hearing:🧡 “It is not your time, I have a greater purpose for you.”Today, Heather believes that purpose is becoming clearer.She now uses her own lived experience to support and advocate for people living with chronic illness and invisible disabilities, while building her work as a wellness coach and sharing stories through her own podcast, Living Beyond the Invisible: A Walk with Heather.In our conversation we explore:✨ Growing up with a congenital heart condition✨ Surviving four open-heart surgeries✨ Heather's experience of breast cancer✨ Chronic pain and fibromyalgia✨ The hidden impact of medical trauma✨ Why people with invisible illnesses often mask how they're really feeling✨ Faith and Heather's relationship with God✨ Her extraordinary experience during heart surgery✨ Finding purpose after years of questioning why✨ Becoming a voice for people with invisible disabilities✨ Taking small, realistic steps when living with chronic illness✨ Heather's work as a wellness coach✨ Her dream of creating a nonprofit to support the chronic illness communityTowards the end, I asked Heather what she would say to her younger self, knowing everything she knows today.Her answer was beautiful:🧡 “Your life has meaning.”And:🧡 “The world is absolutely a better place with you in it and you 100% have a purpose.”This is an incredibly open conversation about surviving, healing, faith, purpose and discovering that sometimes the experiences we would never have chosen can lead us somewhere we never expected.Thank you, Heather, for trusting me with your story. 🧡⚠️ Content note: This episode contains discussion of serious illness, medical trauma, depression, anxiety and past suicidal thoughts.

Tammy Braswell, of Create by Vibration, is the Channel with All That Is, Energetic Creation Guide, and Transmitter of Divine Frequencies, Wisdom, and Truths.

She guides women in fully living their divinity through their humanness... elevating conceptual understanding into lived understanding that deepens their clarity in the ways they consciously express that within themselves and the experiences of their life. Through identifying and elevating the space between knowing a concept and fully living it, life is no longer something being reached for... it is what is being consciously created and lived from in her divine wholeness.

Tammy has been experiencing energy, spirits, and the unseen since childhood. For decades, she has consciously lived in the magic and awareness of her connection with her Divine Self, her Soul, and Source. This connection is foundational in what she shares through divinely channelled transmissions with All That Is that open women to what the expanded part of them has always known.

What she shares is an ever-expanding tapestry of everything she has studied, intuited, channelled, and lived across lifetimes, bridging the unseen with the human so higher frequencies are not just felt, but fully lived.

Tammy invites women into Your Divine Journey with her... spaces, experiences, and direct guidance that support them in aligning clearly with their highest divine frequencies, truth, and power.

What if changing your life begins with changing the story you’re telling yourself?

In this episode of The Auburn Conversations, I’m joined by Fiona Robertson, transformational mentor, intuitive guide, speaker, author and creator of the Practical Magic method.

Fiona shares the extraordinary journey that took her from running and eventually selling a £1 million company to following her intuition into an entirely different life.

We talk about meditation, Reiki, manifestation and learning to recognise spiritual guidance - including the question Fiona heard that changed everything:

“Do you want to be doing this in five years’ time?”

We also explore Fiona’s remarkable experiences with Dragon energy, beginning with her encounter with Seraphina, and how this eventually led to her book Interview With A Dragon and the work she does today.

Along the way, we explore intuition, soul guidance, manifestation, breaking old patterns, consciously creating our reality and the stories we repeatedly tell ourselves.

As Fiona says:

“How do we change our lives? Change the story that we’re telling.”

This is a conversation about trusting the unexpected, listening to the guidance within and having the courage to follow where it leads - even when the destination looks nothing like the life you had planned.

🐉 Fiona Robertson is the author of Interview With A Dragon and creator of the Dragon Way Shower Cards, helping people unlock their inner power, intuition and abundance.

The Auburn Conversations is a space for honest conversations about spiritual awakening, intuition, healing, self-discovery and the experiences that can change the direction of our lives.
