What if the part of yourself you are most afraid to share is actually the doorway to your purpose?

In this episode of The Curious Soul, Cristina Malavenda and Marty Go sit down with visibility coach, quantum healer, and former publicist Kristen Shea.

Kristen shares how walking away from a narcissistic dynamic led to a complete reset of her identity, relationships, career, and sense of self. With almost no money left and bills coming due, she found herself praying for help and receiving an answer she did not want to hear: share her spiritual and channeled messages publicly.

That one brave step became the beginning of a completely new life.

Kristen opens up about the fear of being seen, why authenticity can feel like a moving target, and how early experiences, shame, guilt, family dynamics, and survival patterns can teach us to hide the truth of who we are.

Cristina, Marty, and Kristen also explore what it means to become visible in a way that feels spiritually aligned, how the quantum field may reflect our inner world, why our triggers can point us toward healing, and how asking for support can help us move forward.

The conversation also expands into spiritual gifts, channeled messages, galactic beings, Pleiadians, discernment, divine support, purpose, mission, and the calling that can emerge when you finally allow yourself to be fully seen.

Whether you are afraid to share your voice, step into your purpose, trust your gifts, or let people see who you really are, this conversation invites you to consider that your story, your truth, and your lived experience may be exactly what someone else needs.

You'll hear:

• Why authenticity can feel like a moving target
• How fear, shame, and family expectations can keep us hidden
• What happened when Kristen followed divine guidance and posted her first channeled message
• How visibility, identity work, and spiritual healing connect
• What Kristen means by the quantum field and energetic clearing
• Why life may mirror back the wounds we are ready to heal
• How discernment matters when exploring spirituality
• Why your purpose may be connected to the truth you are afraid to share

What happens after a near-death experience when someone returns with new spiritual abilities and a completely different understanding of life?

In Part Two of this conversation on The Curious Soul, Cristina Malavenda and Marty Go continue their discussion with near-death experiencer, author, and transformational coach Vincent "Vinney" Tolman.

Vinney shares the ten principles he says he learned during his experience, including authenticity, love, intuition, the power of our thoughts, the purpose of adversity, and the idea that we are all connected.

He also opens up about what happened after he returned and began seeing and communicating with spirits. Unsure whether what he was experiencing was real, Vinney sought medical help, leading to an extraordinary encounter with a doctor that neither of them could explain.

Cristina and Marty explore how Vinney discovered the identity of the guide he met during his near-death experience, why he believes generations of ancestors remain close to us, and how asking for support can help us move through life with greater trust and purpose.

Vinney also shares his thoughts on technology, division, healing, manifestation, and what it means to consciously choose the reality we create.

Whether you are curious about near-death experiences, spirit guides, ancestors, intuition, healing, or the deeper purpose of life, this conversation offers a powerful reminder that we may be far more supported than we realize.

You'll hear:

• The ten principles Vinney says he learned during his near-death experience
• Why authenticity is essential to giving and receiving love
• How technology and fear can disconnect us from our intuition
• What happened when Vinney began communicating with spirits
• The message that shocked his doctor

• Why he believes our ancestors remain close to us
• How thoughts, belief, and intention can shape our lives

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

• Cristina's first regression experience and what it revealed about love, identity, and connection
