Today’s guest, Lauren Dionysius, shares with us her incredible life's journey and awakening. A former NICU nurse working with babies born into the world with the toughest challenges, Lauren had a near-death experience in the Zambezi River while on a much needed career break in Africa.  On her return home, Lauren felt the deep inner call to return to work in the NICU, but found herself bargaining with the universe for things to be different. Little did she know what she’d just asked for.  When Lauren returned to work she began having profound spiritual experiences with the babies she was caring for. Initially thinking she was going mad, she realised that the wisdom these babies were sharing with her completely changed how she cared for babies clinically and also her own beliefs around birth, life and death.  Lauren discusses the shared death experiences she had with several babies in the NICU, where she witnessed the transition of their souls from the physical world to the spiritual realm. She describes feeling the energy of the babies leaving their physical bodies and the sense of freedom and peace they experienced.  Lauren shares in detail what she learned from these babies about why they choose to come to Earth and how they leave for their own reasons, which are often unknown or not considered by society.  Lauren shares with us the profound insights she’s gleaned from these experiences about the true nature of reality, life and death and emphasizes the importance of holding space for both the beauty and the grief of these experiences.  Takeaways: Shared death experiences provide a front-row seat to the transition of a soul from the physical to the spiritual realm. These experiences have changed how Lauren cares for babies clinically and have deepened her understanding of the bigger picture of life. Babies choose to come to Earth and leave for their own reasons, which are often unknown or not considered by society. Witnessing the transition of babies can be a powerful and transformative experience, challenging societal beliefs about death. Holding space for both the beauty and the grief of these experiences can help change our perspective and reduce suffering. There is a much bigger picture to life, and we are more vast and expansive than our human bodies. The awakening process can be uncomfortable and confrontational, but it opens us up to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the soul's journey.

Shadi Sadeghi is a certified life coach in Jungian psychology and an Emotion Code practitioner. Her method combines depth psychology, Eastern philosophy, social neuroscience, and emotional energy work to guide her clients through the transformative process of awakening to their true selves. Shadi's journey to becoming a Jungian coach started with her own personal development journey and a spiritual quest from a young age. She discovered the power of Jungian coaching and the shifts it brought in her life, leading her to become a coach herself. She now helps others integrate their shadow, release past conditioning, and manifest their true desires. In this conversation, Kate, Amanda, and Shadi discuss practical ways to broaden our awareness and tap into our potential for manifestation. They emphasize the importance of shadow work, which involves examining our triggers and judgments to uncover hidden aspects of ourselves. They also explore the role of relationships in our personal development journey, highlighting how our projections onto others can reveal our own unconscious patterns. The conversation touches on the concepts of divine masculine and feminine, the conditioning of society and family, and the power of curiosity and self-inquiry. Shadi offers shadow work sessions and incorporates energy work into her coaching practice. Takeaways Shadi's method combines depth psychology, Eastern philosophy, social neuroscience, and emotional energy work to guide clients through the transformative process of awakening to their true selves. The journey to becoming whole and awakening to our true selves is called individuation in Jungian psychology. The personal unconscious, or shadow, is formed through childhood experiences and conditioning, and it contains repressed emotions and traits that we deny or reject. By integrating the shadow and expanding awareness, we can tap into the collective unconscious and access intuition, inspiration, and synchronicities. Setting intentions and expanding awareness can activate the reticular activating system (RAS) in the brain, allowing us to notice opportunities and experiences aligned with our desires. Broadening our awareness and tapping into our potential requires doing shadow work, which involves examining our triggers and judgments. Our relationships can serve as mirrors, reflecting our unconscious patterns and providing opportunities for growth. Integrating the divine masculine and feminine within ourselves leads to wholeness and empowers us as creators. Curiosity and self-inquiry are key to uncovering our true selves and breaking free from conditioning. Having compassion for ourselves and investing in our personal development journey are important for growth and evolution.

Joining us today is Katie Hill who shares with us her awakening journey through the lens of health and the healthcare system.  Katie’s story of seeking medical treatment after becoming sick exposed to her the reality of the modern day healthcare system in the US. She experienced first hand the effects of medication aimed at “healing” her symptoms, and how these simply led to a further decline in her health and a rise in new and alarming symptoms to which she was simply offered more medication.  As things worsened and doctors eventually prescribed her Xanax, she decided to take her health into her own hands and seek out other solutions.  It was then that she was recommended a naturopath and began her journey to understanding that we are able to heal by addressing the root cause of our physical symptoms through addressing our lifestyle, stress, healing trauma and being with our emotions.  In this conversation, we discuss the importance of taking back our power and agency when it comes to our health.

Take the time to explore and understand your own needs and desires. Seek out practitioners and resources that align with your values and empower you on your healing journey.
