Enlightened Connections

On this episode of Enlightened Connections, I sit down with Michele Lundstrom - Shamanic Intuitive Channel, Akashic Records Reader, and former mental health therapist, for a deeply expansive and heart-opening conversation that bridges psychology, spirit, and the elemental world.Michele shares how, even during her 20-year career in traditional therapy, she was quietly guided by ancestors, spirit allies, and intuitive knowing. Over time, she recognised that while cognitive processing has its place, true healing often requires something deeper; energetic, ancestral, and soul-level work. We explore the intersection between modern psychology and ancient wisdom, discussing where the systems support us, where they fall short, and how shamanic practices help address the root rather than the symptom.One of the most extraordinary moments in Michele’s life came in 2019, when she was struck by lightning indoors during an unexpected storm. Surviving the strike, and clinically “gone” for several minutes, became what many indigenous traditions would call a shamanic initiation. Michele describes how the experience cleared trauma from her physical and energetic body and awakened what she now calls “lightning medicine” - a powerful channeled current of healing energy she runs through her right arm to support both people and the Earth.We also dive into her remarkable remote water crystallography readings, inspired by her deep love of water and the work of Veda Austin. Michele explains how water communicates through frozen imagery, how it holds memory across time and space, and how she reads these crystallised messages as living oracle cards. From galactic memory to elemental gratitude, this part of our conversation opens an entirely new way of understanding consciousness.Our discussion expands into channeling, star-seeds, awakening gifts, and the growing divide between those leaning into heart-centered awareness and those resisting it. Michele shares what she’s witnessing in her sessions; more people activating clear knowing, reconnecting with their intuitive senses, and remembering why they came here.We close with practical guidance on reconnecting with the elements : Earth, air, fire, and especially water - and Michele offers one powerful message for the world: return to the heart. In a time dominated by the mind, she reminds us that the heart always knows truth.This is a rich, soulful conversation about healing, remembrance, initiation, and the quiet power of living in alignment with nature and spirit.SOCIALS:https://www.luminousignus.com/https://www.facebook.com/LuminousIgnus/https://www.instagram.com/luminous_ignus/*** Please note: for Australian and New Zealand enquirers, please email Michele directly.

In this deeply transformative episode, Lisa is joined by Stephanie Hew, a multidimensional practitioner, energy shifter, womb healer, kinesiologist, and psychic medium, for an expansive conversation about witch wounds, feminine suppression, and reclaiming authentic spiritual power.Despite a few cosmic-level tech interruptions, the conversation flows into profound territory as Stephanie shares her work supporting light leaders, healers, and spiritually awakened women to reconnect with their inner wisdom, dissolve energetic blocks, and embody their true soul essence.Stephanie explains the concept of the witch wound - a deeply embedded fear of being seen, heard, or punished for spiritual gifts, often carried across multiple lifetimes due to historical persecution. This energetic imprint commonly shows up as lack of confidence, self-silencing, or fear of fully expressing intuitive and psychic abilities.In this episode, you’ll explore:What the witch wound is and how it manifests todayWomb healing and releasing stored emotional and energetic imprintsPriestess codes and reconnecting with ancient feminine wisdomPast life therapy and karmic pattern resolutionThe stages of spiritual awakening and embodied growthNavigating the “darkness” as part of soul evolutionIdentity shifts, relationship changes, and soul-aligned livingEnergy healing, kinesiology, and physical-energetic integrationHealing ancestral and past-life trauma held in the bodyStephanie shares powerful insights into her multidimensional healing approach, which weaves together womb healing, past life regression, psychic insight, energy activation, and personalised kinesiology. She also discusses how unhealed past-life trauma, such as repeated loss, can surface as anxiety or fear in the present life, and how these patterns can be gently released.This episode is for women who feel a deep inner calling, sense ancient wisdom stirring within them, or know they are here for something more - yet feel blocked, hesitant, or energetically held back.✨ You are not becoming someone new—you are remembering who you have always been.SOCIALShttps://www.persephonesessence.comInstagram: @persephonesessenceYoutube: Persephone's EssencePodcast: Persephone's Essence - SpotifyEmail: contact@persephonesessence.com

In this powerful and deeply reflective episode, Lisa is joined by Rebecca, a practitioner of Family Constellations, Reconnection Energy, and ancestral healing, to explore how inherited trauma, unconscious family patterns, and energetic imprints shape our lives, often without us realising.The conversation begins with Lisa sharing a pivotal spiritual experience that sparked her journey into mediumship, followed by an open discussion about different intuitive abilities, including claircognisance, clairsentience, and spirit communication. From there, the episode moves into a profound exploration of Family Constellation Therapy; a modality designed to reveal and release ancestral trauma carried through family lines.Rebecca explains how emotional, energetic, and even biological trauma can be passed down through generations, using examples such as famine, war, and displacement. Through family constellation work, clients are able to release inherited burdens, restore balance to the family system, and reconnect with their own inner divine light, often resolving patterns linked to addiction, illness, and chronic emotional struggles.In this episode, you’ll learn about:What family constellation therapy is and how it worksHow ancestral trauma is inherited emotionally and energeticallyMediumship vs energy-based healing modalitiesCrystal-based constellation work and intuitive session designThe Court of Atonement and releasing soul contractsThe difference between Family Constellations and The ReconnectionHow remote energy healing can be just as powerful as in-person workInherited emotional patterns such as anger, grief, and fearWomen’s power in family planning and ancestral decision-makingNavigating stepfamily dynamics and unconscious loyaltiesRebecca also explains The Reconnection, a two-session energetic realignment that works with meridian points and universal grids, reconnecting individuals to Source Energy, often resulting in profound peace, clarity, and energetic shifts.This episode is for anyone interested in ancestral healing, family systems therapy, mediumship, energy healing, emotional inheritance, and spiritual liberation.✨ What you release in yourself, you heal for the generations that follow.SOCIALShttps://www.facebook.com/family.constellations

In this illuminating episode, Lisa is joined by Kim Fairminer, a professional astrologer with over 25 years of experience, to demystify astrology and explore how it can be used as a practical, grounded tool for insight, healing, and everyday decision-making.Kim shares her unique approach to astrology, blending traditional horary astrology with transpersonal counselling, and discusses her long-standing role writing daily horoscopes for The West Australian newspaper. Together, Lisa and Kim explore the key differences between natal astrology - which offers a lifelong, big-picture view of the soul’s journey - and horary astrology, which provides clear answers to specific yes/no questions about immediate situations.In this episode, you’ll learn:What horary astrology is and how it worksHow natal charts reveal life themes, priorities, and personal timingWhy free will still matters, even in predictive astrologyThe importance of learning astrology in layers, like a languageHow empty houses in a birth chart should really be interpretedThe role of healing planets and houses for intuitive and service-based workWhy Chiron matters for healers (and when it doesn’t)The spiritual significance of the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th housesHow astrology supports intuition rather than replacing logicKim also addresses common misconceptions about horoscopes, explaining how astrology can function both as a daily spiritual touchstone and as a profound system for personal growth. The conversation expands into mundane astrology, and how astrology can be applied without needing exact birth data.This episode is ideal for astrology beginners, seasoned students, healers, intuitives, and anyone curious about how astrology actually works beyond sun signs.✨ Astrology doesn’t remove free will - it helps you use it wisely.SOCIALSwww.kimfairminer.comFacebook, Instagram and Youtube @kimfairminerFor best connection, subscribe for email updates for Kim's website above

In this heartfelt and expansive conversation, Lisa is joined by Kari Magee, intuitive healer and founder of Alchemy for Empaths, to explore what it truly means to be an empath, and how sensitivity can become a powerful gift rather than a burden.Kari explains that empaths are naturally attuned to their environment, emotions, and subtle energies, much like animals. While empathy is a universal human trait, some people are more sensitive due to lived experiences such as trauma, burnout, or nervous system overload, often amplifying intuitive abilities like clairsentience, empathic sensing, and animal communication.Together, Lisa and Kari explore:What it really means to be an empath in today’s worldThe connection between empathy, intuition, and personal authorityWhy self-care is not optional for sensitive peopleHow unprotected empathy can lead to burnout and energy depletionIdentifying subtle energy leaks (not just obvious boundaries)The impact of social media, television, and unconscious habits on empathic systemsAstrology, neurodiversity, and sensitivity as tools for self-understandingMidlife awakenings, identity shifts, and intuitive growthSovereignty, individuality, and staying grounded while feeling deeplyKari shares her own journey from corporate conformity and chronic exhaustion to reclaiming sensitivity as a superpower, leading her to develop The LIGHT Method: Liberation, Intuition, Grounding, and Healing - a framework designed to help empaths release limiting beliefs, build strength, and reconnect with their inner wisdom.The conversation also touches on starseeds, neurodiversity, societal conditioning, and the suppression of empathy, offering a compassionate lens on why so many sensitive people feel out of place, and how they can realign with their truth.This episode is for anyone who identifies as an empath, highly sensitive person, intuitive, healer, or anyone feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves.✨ Your sensitivity is not the problem—it’s the pathway.SOCIALShttps://planoly.store/alchemyforempathsInstagram: @alchemy.for.empaths

In this deeply insightful episode, Lisa interviews Graeme Kapono Urlich, an ordained Alakaʻi of Huna International, exploring the ancient Hawaiian healing tradition of Huna, the philosophy of Aloha, and the transformative power of presence, energy, and self-empowerment.Founded in 1973 by Serge Kahili King, Huna International teaches that energy flows where attention goes, and that all healing and power come from within. Graeme shares the seven principles of Huna, including the powerful idea that the world is what we think it is, and explains how these teachings apply directly to modern life, emotional healing, and personal growth.The conversation explores Lomi Lomi temple-style bodywork, not simply as massage, but as a spiritual and emotional healing practice rooted in counselling, awareness, and self-responsibility. Graeme recounts extraordinary personal experiences from extended Kahuna bodywork sessions, highlighting the importance of total presence, focus, and energetic alignment.Together, Lisa and Graeme discuss:* How distraction and media manipulation affect energy and decision-making* The fear of rejection and our deep need to belong*The “Adventurer Way of Thinking” and breaking free from societal conditioning* The Hawaiian principle of Manawa - the power of being fully present* Why effectiveness is the measure of truth (Pono)* The true meaning of Aloha: love increases as judgment decreases* How belief systems influence success, health, money, and self-worth* Using the mind as a healing tool rather than a limitationGraeme also shares real-world examples of Huna healing, including how creating an environment of aloha and high energy allows individuals to heal themselves, without giving power away.This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in:Huna healing, Hawaiian spirituality, energy healing, Lomi Lomi, conscious living, emotional healing, shamanic wisdom, personal empowerment, and spiritual growth.✨ Bless the present.

In this deeply compassionate and insightful episode, Lisa is joined by holistic counsellor and intuitive healer Sarah Yeoman, who brings over two decades of experience in health, wellbeing, and trauma-informed care.Sarah shares her professional journey from primary school teaching into the healing arts, including her background in exercise science, remedial massage, nutrition, and energy work. Through years of hands-on practice and lived experience, Sarah developed her own healing modality, Cevelo, which blends talk therapy with energy healing to help people release emotional triggers, reconnect with their authentic selves, and feel empowered in their lives.The conversation explores Sarah’s path through further study, personal loss, and professional transformation, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the passing of her father. These experiences led her to retrain as a counsellor and create the RISE method, a framework designed to help individuals redefine their stories, understand emotional triggers, and move beyond survival-based patterns.Lisa and Sarah discuss how trauma often originates in childhood and can shape adult behaviour, relationships, and emotional responses. Sarah explains how intuitive coaching and counselling sessions create a safe space for clients to uncover unconscious patterns, process stored emotions, and gently resolve trauma without force or re-traumatisation.The episode also delves into the concept of negative memory bias, explaining how the brain prioritises perceived threats as a survival mechanism. Sarah highlights the importance of safety, trust, and nervous system regulation in trauma healing, acknowledging that each person’s healing timeline is unique.Drawing from her experience as a trauma-informed massage therapist, Sarah discusses the role of touch in healing and the necessity of consent, safety, and emotional readiness. Lisa shares reflections from her own trauma journey, reinforcing the importance of finding practitioners who are deeply attuned to both physical and emotional boundaries.This episode is a powerful reminder that healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about creating safety, awareness, and space for authenticity to emerge.SOCIALS:sarahyeomanwellness.comFB: @SarahYeomanIntegrativeWellnessInsta: @sarahyeomanintegrativewellness

In this fascinating and heart-led episode, Lisa is joined by Dr Meghan Barrett, a holistic veterinarian and sound therapy practitioner based in Honolulu, Hawaii. Dr Barrett shares her unique approach to animal healing, blending conventional veterinary medicine with holistic modalities and therapeutic music designed specifically for animals.Dr Barrett discusses her journey from a background in aerial dance and music into holistic veterinary medicine, explaining how a serious neck injury became a catalyst for deeper exploration into whole-body healing. She unpacks the key differences between allopathic (conventional) veterinary care and holistic approaches, highlighting how Western medicine excels in acute situations, while holistic care focuses on long-term wellbeing, chronic conditions, and prevention.The conversation explores how emotional health and physical health are deeply interconnected for animals, and why addressing both is essential for true healing. Dr Megan shares how she integrates rehabilitation, acupuncture, laser therapy, herbal medicine, and sound therapy into her practice, always slowing down to truly listen to what each animal needs.A central focus of the episode is the powerful role of music in animal wellbeing. Dr Barrett explains how she creates custom soundscapes and original musical compositions using harp, flute, and ambient textures to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reduce stress, and support healing. She discusses the importance of understanding animals’ unique hearing ranges, sensitivity to vibration and frequency, and why music for animals must be carefully edited to avoid sudden or overstimulating sounds.Lisa and Dr Barrett share personal stories of animals responding visibly to music; from softened eyes and slower breathing to deep relaxation and emotional release. They also discuss how familiar music routines can help animals feel safe, particularly during times of anxiety, illness, or transition.This episode offers a gentle yet insightful invitation to rethink how we care for animals, reminding us that healing can be supported not only through medicine, but through presence, environment, sound, and emotional connection.SOCIALS:https://www.drbarrettvet.comhttps://www.museholisticvet.comIG @drbarrettvet and @muse.holistic.vethttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2ZjzBYqBp_Z9JK0a8vRSQhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083467832076https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghan-barrett-dvm/https://www.tiktok.com/@drbarrettvet

In this expansive and heartfelt conversation, Lisa is joined by renowned animal communicator, teacher, and author Sandra Mendelson to explore the deeper layers of animal communication, energy exchange, and intuitive connection between humans and the animal world.Sandra shares her unexpected journey into animal communication, which began in 2012 while working with horses. Without prior exposure to animal communication teachings, Sandra found herself receiving guidance and messages that led her to develop a direct, authentic way of listening to animals beyond words. This path eventually inspired her books and online classes, created in collaboration with animals themselves, offering humans a new way to connect with the animal kingdom.Together, Lisa and Sandra discuss how animals communicate as energetic beings, and how human projections, unprocessed trauma, and emotional patterns often influence animal behaviour. Sandra explains how many behavioural issues in companion animals reflect unresolved emotional or physical challenges within their humans, and how healing can occur when those root causes are acknowledged, without blame or judgement.The conversation expands into powerful observations of collective animal behaviour, including whales gathering across the globe and unusual shark activity near humans. These moments are explored as potential messages of urgency, wisdom, and planetary awareness, reminding us that animals act as channels for universal intelligence rather than isolated messengers.Lisa and Sandra also share personal stories of intuitive encounters with animals; from horses and dogs to birds, reptiles, and even insects, highlighting how animals offer guidance, protection, humour, and healing when we are willing to listen with all our senses. They discuss the importance of shifting from dominance-based language toward gratitude, respect, and energetic presence when communicating with animals.This episode invites listeners to reimagine animals not as possessions or problems to be managed, but as conscious co-inhabitants of the planet, offering wisdom, balance, and reflection during a time of global uncertainty.SOCIALS:https://www.sandramendelson.com/FB: @sandra.l.mendelsonInsta: @sandra_mendelson/LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/sandraml/

In this deeply reflective conversation, Lisa is joined by astrologer and intuitive consultant Michelle Wollaston to explore how astrology, personal energy cycles, and human design can offer profound insight into our emotional wellbeing, life purpose, and major life transitions.Michelle explains how a natal chart acts as a blueprint for understanding your unique energetic makeup, with planetary rulers and astrological houses influencing how you experience life. Together, they discuss the impact of astrological transits, moon phases, and significant milestones such as Saturn returns and Chiron returns, particularly during midlife, when many women are called into deeper reflection, healing, and self-awareness.The conversation also explores emotional patterns linked to moon phases and zodiac signs, including how Scorpio moon energy can intensify emotions, intuition, and exhaustion—especially for water signs. Michelle shares practical guidance on setting boundaries, reducing external noise, and learning to listen to intuition rather than fear or societal expectations.Moving beyond astrology alone, Michelle introduces human design and explains how understanding your personal design type, such as generator or projector, can transform how you approach work, relationships, and decision-making. She also shares how she creates personalised "Soul Maps" for clients using birth data, natal charts, and progressed moons to help navigate life purpose, karmic lessons, and current challenges.The episode widens into an important discussion on women’s empowerment, power imbalances, and the silencing of survivor voices across industries. Lisa and Michelle speak candidly about systemic abuse, the role of fear and complicity, and the importance of education, self-worth, and awareness for future generations. Michelle also shares her work amplifying survivor voices through media and publishing platforms.This episode is an invitation to slow down, tune inward, and reconnect with your personal rhythm, honouring both the cosmic cycles and the inner wisdom guiding your path.SOCIALS:www.michellewollaston.comFacebook: @michelle.wollaston.7Instagram: @michellewollastonLinkedIn: michelle-wollaston

Hi, I'm Lisa and in my "welcome" episode, I share who I am, what I do and why I felt called to create this podcast. As a Psychic Medium, Healer and Animal Communicator, I want you to know that this podcast isn’t just about stories or spiritual conversations ; it’s about you.It’s about the ways you already sense, feel, and connect, even if you’ve never quite known what to call it.You don’t have to be a psychic, healer, or animal communicator to experience energy or intuition. We all have that inner knowing, that quiet nudge that guides us. My hope is that, through these episodes, you’ll begin to trust that part of yourself a little more.I want you to know that you’re not alone on your journey. Whether you’ve experienced loss, feel disconnected, or are simply searching for meaning, this space is here for you.Each episode is an invitation to slow down, to reflect, and to remember that healing doesn’t always happen in grand moments; sometimes it’s found in the smallest spark of understanding, or in feeling seen and heard.And finally, I want you to know that there’s no right or wrong way to be on this path. It’s not about being perfect or always feeling “spiritual.” It’s about being open, curious, and willing to reconnect; with yourself, with others, and with the greater web of life that holds us all.So as you listen, sometimes to me, sometimes to my knowledgeable guests, I invite you to take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and simply allow these conversations to meet you where you are. My wish is that you walk away from each episode feeling a little more peaceful, a little more inspired, and a little more connected - to everything that truly matters. Please click the follow button and leave a review to help spread the love and wisdom with Enlightened Connections. I'm so excited and grateful for your listening in!Want to know more?
