After the sudden loss of her father, Sarah went searching for answers and found them in a remarkable reading with Hero and Psychic Medium Lea Morgan. In this Healing Heroines episode, Sarah and Lea trace how one surprising session opened the door to ongoing spiritual connection with her deceased father, meaningful confirmations, and an unexpected pivot toward providing spiritual services for others.

This conversation is for anyone experiencing a season of grief, curiosity, or a little bit of both. Discover how the unseen can show up in your life.

What You Will Learn

• [00:10:57] How a simple Google search led Sarah to Lea’s website, she booked a reading, and “everything changed.”
• [00:15:46] The pocket-watch moment — how a detail from a reading connected to Sarah’s family heirloom and shifted her sense of what was possible.
• [00:21:50] How repeated confirmations (Lea telling Sarah she’d have a daughter) became a steady thread of hope during an uncertain time.
• [00:23:02] What it looked like when Lea described Sarah’s future daughter — playful, musical, and already showing personality — and how that matched life later.
• [00:24:07] The idea that souls and ancestors can “hang out” with a child in utero and sometimes communicate before birth.
• [00:31:34] What Sarah experienced as a sudden “download” of information that clarified a new career direction toward spiritual coaching and death-doula work.
• [00:34:20] Sarah’s practical playbook for opening to guidance: gratitude walks, regular meditation, and asking for signs or clarity.
• [00:54:29] The comfort Sarah found in the belief that relationships continue after death — and how that shifted her experience of grief.

What if the way back to yourself wasn’t through the mind, but through your breath? Hero, Somatic Therapist, and Certified Rolfer Moylan Ryan explains how breath can ground you in the present and become a direct pathway to regulation. Moylan traces the roots of neurodynamic (holotropic) breathwork, explaining why it evokes deep, nonverbal reactions and how the practice supports nervous-system regulation and reconnection to the body.

He describes typical responses people have in his breathwork sessions, the importance of safety and containment, and how breathwork can produce an expanded state of consciousness that shifts your thinking and behavior.

What You Will Learn

• [00:06:55] How Neurodynamic breathwork evolved from holotropic work and the role of evocative music in guiding the breath.
• [00:08:56] Why facilitators ask people to trust the process and surrender so their inner guided intelligence can lead the journey.
• [00:11:24] That breathwork can allow sensations, tremoring, and vocal expression to surface safely during a session.
• [00:16:36] How consistent breath practice can move a person from somatic retraction into expansion and an “upflow” of energy.
• [00:18:00] Why breathwork often lets people complete what was never expressed — releasing embodied remnants of trauma.
• [00:19:59] The parasympathetic state breathwork can produce, and how it enables a calmer, more present nervous system afterward.
• [00:24:40] How the gap between stimulus and response (the space Viktor Frankl described) becomes accessible through regulated breath.
• [00:31:14] What kinds of people tend to benefit — those who feel fragmented, stuck, or ready to create new behaviors and outcomes.
