Your Radiant Spirit

In this powerful episode of Your Radiant Spirit, intuitive artist Heather Eck sits down with trauma coach and former Broadway tap dancer Heather Ann Ferri for a deeply moving conversation about healing from childhood trauma, the role of creativity in recovery, and the power of reclaiming your intuition and voice. Heather Ann shares her extraordinary journey—from being a Guinness World Record–holding tap dancer shaped by the mentorship of the legendary Jimmy Slide, to becoming a transformational coach who blends ancient sciences, energy work, and spiritual guidance to help clients heal C-PTSD and generational trauma. We talk about: The impact of childhood abuse and generational trauma Healing the inner child as a gateway to intuition, creativity, and prosperity The power of movement, brain protocols, and water in trauma recovery How the body holds unspoken stories—and how to release them Building a new avatar: emotional, physical, and energetic transformation The role of spiritual mentorship and the Divine Masculine in healing ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode includes mentions of childhood trauma, abuse, and sexual assault.

In this expansive and deeply affirming conversation, Heather sits down with Julia Stapleton, a mindset and consciousness mentor, intuitive artist, and former tech professional who now works at the intersection of energy, art, and quantum consciousness. Julia shares her powerful spiritual awakening and how her background in technology and physics helped her understand something many struggle to articulate: everything is frequency, and frequency carries information. Together, Heather and Julia explore how intuition, art, and embodiment allow us to decode what our logical minds can't always grasp and how tuning into a desired frequency can collapse timelines, activate healing, and support aligned manifestation. This episode is a beautiful meeting point of science and spirit, logic and creativity, structure and flow. In this episode, we explore: What it means to feel frequency rather than see it How art can act as a transmission that activates change in the body and DNA Why manifestation works when it feels like a memory, not a wish The difference between wanting something and being in the experience of it How timelines collapse when the body and nervous system are on board Using intuition and creativity to bypass the analytical mind Why healing and transformation don't require understanding, only resonance How personal artwork can support emotional and physical shifts Julia also shares a powerful personal story about using frequency-encoded artwork to release chronic pain, plus insights into how intuition communicates through dreams, sensation, sound, and inner knowing. If you're someone who: Feels deeply but struggles to explain how you know Uses creativity as a form of healing or guidance Is curious about manifestation beyond hustle or mindset work Wants language for experiences you've already had This conversation will feel like coming home.

In this episode of Your Radiant Spirit, I'm joined by Michelle Lamanski, a trauma-aware RYT-500 yoga instructor and holistic health coach who helps women feel more at home in their bodies. Michelle shares her personal journey from chronic stress and corporate burnout to building a grounded, body-centered approach to healing. We talk about what it really means to slow down, reconnect with your nervous system, and choose progress over perfection, especially in a world that constantly asks us to do more. This conversation is gentle, honest, and deeply relatable if you've ever felt foggy, inflamed, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. In this episode, we explore: How chronic stress quietly becomes "normal" and how yoga helps you recognize it What trauma-aware yoga actually looks like and why it matters The connection between stress, cortisol, and inflammation Why gentle yoga can be more powerful than pushing your body Small, sustainable changes that support nervous system regulation How digital overwhelm and environmental inputs affect your body Simple daily practices to bring calm back into your life Why healing starts by meeting yourself exactly where you are Michelle also shares practical, approachable steps you can start today, including movement, rest, nutrition, and environmental shifts that support long-term wellbeing without extreme rules or burnout.

Some conversations feel like a warm permission slip. In this episode, I'm sitting down with Becca Shaw of Ember Healing, a holistic healer, Akashic Records coach, divination reader, and teacher. And if you've ever wondered, "Okay… what even ARE the Akashic Records?" Becca breaks it down in a way that feels grounded, practical, and honestly kind of fascinating. We talk about the Akashic Records as your soul's "energetic library," how Becca helps people access their own records (not just get a reading), and what can shift when you finally understand where a block really started. If you've been craving clarity, direction, or that deep inner "click"… this one is for you. In this episode, we talk about: What the Akashic Records are (and why Becca calls them your soul's library) How Becca guides you into your own records instead of only "telling you what she sees" Why imagination is not "wrong" here, it can be part of the bridge What it's like to work with your guides (loving… and sometimes a little blunt) A powerful client story: how a career block led to a past-life vow and a real-world breakthrough Why your records might show up as a library… or a cottage… or even screens instead of books How Becca teaches clients to access their records on their own over time Her weekly Live at Five and what she's building on YouTube If this episode hits you, ask yourself: Where do you keep "blaming" one moment in your life… but you can feel it goes deeper? What would change if you had real clarity about the root of your pattern? Are you ready to trust what you already know, but haven't fully owned yet? Guest spotlight: Becca Shaw (Ember Healing) Becca is a Holistic Healer, Akashic Records Coach, Divination Reader, and Teacher who blends experience, intuition, and compassion to support transformation and self-discovery. Born in England and now based in Canada, she's been connected to spirituality since childhood, and she brings a calm, supportive presence that helps clients feel safe while they go deep.

What if you weren't broken, stuck, or behind — but in the middle of remembering who you are? In this episode of Your Radiant Spirit, I'm joined by Lauren Pearlingi, an intuitive human design and business guide, trauma healer, Reiki and Theta healing practitioner, meditation coach, author, speaker, and founder of The Mermaid Light. Lauren and I have one of those conversations that feels both grounding and expansive. We talk honestly about trauma, survival mode, intuition, and what it really means to move from victim to victor — not through force or hustle, but through self-trust, awareness, and energetic alignment. This episode is for you if: You've done "the work" but still feel stuck or shut down You sense there's more to who you are than what you've been taught You want practical ways to listen to your intuition without overthinking it You're craving healing that honors both the nervous system and the soul In this conversation, we explore: What survival mode actually looks like (and how to know if you're still in it) Why being triggered doesn't mean you're failing — it means something is asking to be seen How human design can support healing, decision-making, and self-trust in a real, usable way The difference between learning your worth and remembering it Why your trauma isn't your fault — and why your healing is still your responsibility How intuition speaks before the mind gets loud What it takes to create a life and business that honors your energy, not fights it Lauren also shares powerful client stories, her own journey through anxiety, relationships, and self-worth, and how safe spaces and community can become catalysts for deep healing.

We tried to record this episode three times… and honestly, I'm glad we did. Because this one turned into the kind of conversation you normally only hear before the official recording starts. I'm sitting down with my friend Deb Eckerling, known as The Book Proposal Expert (and also the creator of the DEB Method for goals). We start with a quick, energetic color reading (hello, yellow and identity shifts), and somehow that opens the door into a deep, practical conversation about: claiming your expertise focusing your message why you don't need to write the whole book first how a book proposal actually works (and why it matters) If you've been holding a book idea in your heart, this episode will help you stop circling it and start shaping it. In this episode, we talk about: A quick color reading for Deb and what "yellow energy" can signal (identity, confidence, visibility, self-trust) Why your next level usually requires a tighter identity, not more hustle Deb's story: how the DEB Method was born (and why it works) The truth about the publishing path: agent → publisher → editorial board What a book proposal really does (it makes the case for your book) The 3 proposal pieces Deb says matter most: Overview (why this book needs to exist) Audience (who will buy it) Comp titles (what it's similar to + why it's different) Why your query letter deserves the same energy as the book itself A simple homework prompt if you "know you have a book in you" but can't name it yet Behind the scenes moments you'll love: We basically said: "No more pre-chat. Hit record." We connect dots between color, identity, and visibility in a way that feels both spiritual and super practical. Takeaways you can actually use this week. If you're listening and thinking, "I want to write a book… but I don't know where to start," do this: Start one living document called: "My Book Notes" 2–3 times a week, brain-dump: stories you keep telling client patterns you notice beliefs you teach on repeat phrases that feel like "your thing" Then do a quick title/market scan: find strong books in your category from the last ~5 years ask: How is mine similar? How is mine different? What's my one-line twist? And if you're feeling "stuck in your head," borrow this from our color moment: Sit with yellow (visualize it, place yellow flowers near your workspace, or just notice where it shows up) Ask yourself: Who am I now? Who am I becoming? How do I want to be known? Guest spotlight: Deb Eckerling Deb Eckerling is a goal strategist, author, and book proposal coach who helps thought leaders turn powerful ideas into book proposals that sell. She's the creator of the DEB Method (Determine your mission, Explore your options, Brainstorm your path) and the founder of The Book Proposal Expert, where she teaches a clear, grounded roadmap for getting your message into the world without making it miserable.

What if the parts of you that feel confusing, exhausting, or "too much" are actually clues to your soul's design? In this episode of Your Radiant Spirit, Heather Eck sits down with Vicki Meigs, a master teacher, soul alignment coach, numerologist, and vibrational healer, for a powerful conversation about self-alignment, energetic truth, and coming home to who you really are. Vicki shares her journey from public education to soul-centered work, including the moment her body demanded she slow down and listen. Together, Heather and Vicki explore how numerology offers more than insight, it offers permission. Permission to soften. Permission to trust yourself. Permission to stop living by someone else's definition of success. In this episode, you'll hear: How numerology reveals your energetic blueprint and soul purpose Why so many high-achieving people still feel unfulfilled The difference between self-care and true self-alignment How your ruling number can act as a "heart compass" for decisions Why your body often knows the truth before your mind does A simple heart-centered breathing ritual to restore clarity and calm This conversation is for you if you've done "everything right" and still feel like something is missing, or if you're ready to stop outsourcing your inner knowing and start trusting what's already within you. If you'd like to connect with Vicki beyond today's conversation, you can find her on Instagram, where she shares monthly energy forecasts, practical numerology insights, and guidance for navigating spiritual awakening in real life. She also offers a six-week, in-person awakening experience in Raleigh, called Awakening: Shifting the Frequency in the Field, beginning this February. It's designed for those who are spiritually awakening and don't want to walk this part alone — with a strong focus on integration, nervous system coherence, and living your awakening in real life. **If you're not local, or you feel called to gather your own people, Vicki also creates online and community-based awakening fields. You can simply reach out and explore what's possible — it only takes 6 people to open a field! Coming soon, she's opening a year-long coaching and field-based mastermind called Soul-Led: The Art of Embodied Awakening for those who are ready to fully integrate their awakening into their lived life. And finally — did you know Vicki has created a Secret Society for Spiritual Awakening? If that sparks curiosity, you'll want to reach out for more details.

Balding, a registered nurse of 50 years, Reiki energy healer, author, and spiritual guide. Together, they explore how grief, intuition, and emotional awareness can become powerful teachers when we learn to listen to Love's Inner Voice. Brenda shares her personal journey from nursing into energy healing, how she discovered she'd been healing others her entire life, and how grief transformed her relationship with herself, her parents, and the Divine. This conversation is gentle, honest, and deeply grounding. In this episode, you'll hear about: How to recognize and trust Love's Inner Voice as divine guidance Why grief is not something to "fix," but something to listen to The difference between toxic positivity and true emotional presence How "shoulds" keep us stuck and how to release them with compassion Brenda's powerful reframes, including: PAUSE: Perhaps another unseen solution exists JOB: The Joy Of Being Simple practices like heart-centered breathing to calm your nervous system How Reiki and energy healing support emotional and spiritual well-being Why you're only responsible for your own energy, not anyone else's reactions This episode is an invitation to slow down, soften your inner dialogue, and reconnect with the wisdom already living inside you.

In this episode of Your Radiant Spirit, Heather dives into the deeper meaning behind the colors in Wicked: Part Two and how green, pink, and black reveal the emotional and spiritual journey of Elphaba and Glinda.

In this special episode, I'm joined by transformational speaker and resilience mentor Alethea Felton — and this conversation is extra fun because we interviewed each other for our shows. Alethea and I talk about what it means to return to yourself after seasons of struggle, how to rebuild trust in your own voice, and why resilience isn't about pushing through — it's about alignment, healing, and truth.

Anthropologist-turned-healer Bob Vetter shares how decades with Indigenous elders—and a life-changing story from a Comanche medicine man—shaped his path from academic study to hands-on healing. We talk about vision, story as medicine, curanderismo, energy work, and Bob's framework for helping people move from calling to an ethical, grounded healing practice. In this conversation, we explore how your soul's whispers can become a trustworthy path. Bob Vetter traces his journey from seventh-grade meditation and Eastern philosophy to ethnographic fieldwork in Oklahoma, where he was adopted into Native families and mentored by elders. A profound healing story he received—about a "visitor" of fire and the return to order—reframed everything he knew about illness, power, and service. We also get into how to ethically bridge traditions, what "healed vs. cured" really means, and Bob's Soul Medicine: The Journey from Calling to Healing Practice—a practical container for people who feel the pull to serve but don't know where to start. What we cover Following a spiritual calling and letting it unfold one step at a time Bob's formative years in anthropology, India, and "participant-observer" fieldwork Being adopted by Native families and learning through community and story The life-changing healing story from a Comanche medicine man and its meaning Healed vs. cured: moving from chaos to order (and why both outcomes matter) Curanderismo (Mesoamerican folk healing), sound healing, medical qigong & energy work Dream symbolism (white & red roses) as a metaphor for re-patterning a life Bridging Western & Indigenous frameworks with humility and integrity Story as medicine, technology as a tool, and the importance of community Listener takeaways Your hardships can become the source of your medicine for others You can be healed without being cured—and cured without being healed A workable session framework needs a beginning, middle, and end Start your path by discerning the shape of your calling and your own healing Connect Website & free resources: bobvetter.com Program: Soul Medicine — The Journey from Calling to Healing Practice (details on his website) Blog & podcast archive: on bobvetter.com Connect with Heather: www.heathereck.com or www.heathereckstudios.com

In this solo episode of Your Radiant Spirit, I share how what looks like "housekeeping" – for your studio, your calendar, your nervous system – is really spiritual housekeeping. We explore how carving out one intentional hour of creation every day shifts everything, how art is more than decoration (it's healing), and how my own business containers are evolving to meet the deeper work of transformation. What You'll Hear Why discipline becomes devotion when you show up consistently for your creative practice ("just me and my paints … whatever wants to come through"). The moment I was vacuuming this week and inspiration for a holiday novella popped in — and what that teaches about clearing space for creativity. How making art slows your nervous system, softens your body, and reconnects you with places that words can't touch. An update on my business: The Color Club has become the Color Healing Academy, and my Therapeutic Art Journeys are now 4 months long. I'll walk you through what that means for you. A special invitation: DM me COLOR on Instagram to receive a free Color Insight Session — and how you can join the journey. Key Insights & Highlights "When we show up consistently for our creative practices, we're really showing up for ourselves." "Art doesn't just decorate life; it restores it." The shift from color conversation → color transformation. Why extending the container from 3 to 4 months makes space for integration, embodiment and alignment, not just release.

Heather and Rose first met when Heather was a guest on Rose's podcast, Chat Off the Mat - and then Rose received a Spirit Portrait—an intuitive painting that captured her essence in vibrant golds, pinks, and magentas. That portrait became the spark that inspired her to write Empress Rising, a guidebook for women stepping into their sovereignty and embracing midlife as a portal of power rather than a time of decline. Together, they've gone on to co-create the 12 Days of Holiday Healing Giveaway, infuse Reiki and color into a collaborative Oracle deck, and support countless women in awakening to their own light.

In this week's episode of Your Radiant Spirit, artist and spiritual guide Heather Eck explores what anger is really trying to tell you — and how color can help you release it. Drawing from The Secret Language of the Body and the Emotion Wheel, Heather unpacks how anger often masks deeper emotions like hurt, fear, or shame — and how those energies can settle into the liver and gallbladder when ignored. Through the language of color, you'll learn how to soothe the heat of anger with green, turquoise, and silver-blue, and experience a gentle mini-meditation designed to cool and clear your energy field. Whether you've been feeling reactive, overwhelmed, or simply ready to understand your emotions on a deeper level, this conversation will help you turn frustration into fuel — and reconnect with your body's innate wisdom. 🎨 In this episode: What anger reveals about your emotional and energetic state How The Secret Language of the Body explains anger's connection to the liver Using the Emotion Wheel to uncover what's beneath the anger Color healing to restore balance: red → green, turquoise, and silver-blue Guided color meditation for emotional release ✨ Work with Heather: If you're ready to release what your body's been carrying and uncover what your colors are trying to show you, learn more about The Art of Becoming at heathereck.com/workwithme. 🎧 Listen to Your Radiant Spirit on your favorite podcast platform or at https://pod.link/1769224190.

In this heartfelt solo episode, Heather Eck shares a powerful story about how God showed up at her very first fine art fair in Cary, North Carolina—and delivered a message she couldn't ignore. Heather reflects on the ways God, the universe, and spirit often work overtime to get our attention, whether through our bodies, emotions, or even complete strangers who cross our paths at just the right moment. This episode is a reminder that divine guidance is never out of reach and often comes in ways we least expect. You'll hear Heather talk about: ✨ What it was like to step into the world of fine art fairs for the first time ✨ The unexpected encounter that confirmed her calling to explore the biblical meaning of color in her art ✨ Why God uses everyday people and moments to deliver messages we need to hear ✨ How physical challenges (like sudden foot pain) can serve as divine timeouts, forcing us to pause and listen ✨ The importance of allowing yourself to shift direction, even when it means leaving behind what's familiar If you've ever wondered how God communicates through signs, synchronicities, and even setbacks, this episode will inspire you to pay closer attention to the messages showing up in your own life. 👉 Heather also introduces a new segment, What Has He Done for Me Lately, inviting listeners to share their own stories of divine encounters and answered prayers.

What if the art that reflected your spirit also unlocked the courage to finally share your story? In this week's episode of Your Radiant Spirit, I sit down with author and creative Sushmita Madhukar, whose Spirit Portrait became the spark that led her to write her book Unbroken: A Journey From Silence to Strength. But this conversation goes far beyond art. It's about healing deep wounds, finding forgiveness, and embracing the unexpected gifts that come when you choose to tell your truth. In this episode, you'll hear: How a Spirit Portrait became the catalyst for her writing journey Surviving physical abuse and being put up for adoption as a teenager The cost of carrying decades of resentment—and why forgiveness set her free How writing became the missing piece in her healing The unexpected blessings that followed once she shared her story Listen now and let Sushmita's journey remind you that creativity, courage, and truth-telling can open the door to profound transformation.
